    ByEd Jowett March 12, 2015March 13, 2015

    I’m going to jump into things today with a little ode to the Kickstarter in my top 5 reasons why it’s just plain fabulous. Number Five– You don’t have to be a celebrity, famously wealthy or an expert in any field. All you need is a good idea. Number Four– It allows new thoughts and…

    No More Waiting! – The Oracle

    ByEd Jowett March 7, 2015March 6, 2015

    One of the things that I personally adore about RPGs is the ability to create a world from scratch. You get some lines of story, a jumping off point and then it’s all up to you as the player to fill in the gaps and make that world real. All the backstory that we put…

    More Chances to Come Play with Us! – The Oracle

    ByEd Jowett March 5, 2015March 5, 2015

    One of our favourite things about this whole game designing business is getting a chance to sit down and run a game with folks who love to play. It warms our toes and makes all those long cold hours sitting in front of the computer worth it. Let’s be honest, there’s a reason why we…

    All the best things take time, ask anybody. Granted we do seem to have hit a brief delay but it’s nothing we can’t blast our way through with a little well placed explosives, right Ed? What I’m talking about is the small matter of our Digital Rulebook layout delay. We had hoped to get the…
