Century's Edge
We're proud to announce that the Century's Edge Rule Book will be available for nation-wide sales in July (probably late July to be honest folks!). As we gear up for distribution, we are offering (for a very limited time) a pre-order special where you can pick up a copy of this, our flagship game, for nearly 30% off its retail price. That's right, if you have a little patience and some spare change you can prepare to "Make History" before summer is through.
In preparation for these rule books, we are selling our Century's Edge Demo Booklets at a reduced price. These booklets are an inexpensive way for a narrator to get his/her players started with the game. Check out the catalog page for more details.
Finally, we have added a few new downloads -including an excerpt from the Gazateer of Century Earth (appearing in the main rule book) that details Castle Dracula! Enjoy!
Movies 'Till Dawn
Our hilairious hybrid-game, "Movies 'Till Dawn" will be premiering soon at game conventions throughout the Midwest. In this game, players take on the role of B-Movie actors and actresses trying to up-stage the competition as they playout the scenes in a low budget, late-night feature. This game is perfect for parties and doesn't require a narrator or game master to judge. Yes, even your non-gaming friends are going to enjoy this one. Early peeks will be released toward summer's end...

A Penny Dreadful for your Thoughts and The Provocation at Grayload Gultch are adventures for the newly released Century's Edge (TM) adventure game system.

Players new to the system will be given a quick introduction to the game’s basic mechanics, though a free quick-play rule book is available online and the full rule book will be instock for sale as soon as the pre-orders are processed.
