New Guided Play Scenario Available for Annalise

I am very pleased to announce the latest addition to the Annalise Guided Play Scenario library: At The Crossroads of Sanctuary and Salvation, written by Jesse Burneko of Blood Thorn Press.

The Summary: The Mayor will tell you they call it Sanctuary because folks know how to keep their problems behind closed doors. All of that changed one humid summer day when a mysterious traveling salesman named Quentin Drake came to town. He always has what you need. Don’t worry about the cost; you needn’t always pay in cash. A dark mid-century America setting, written by Jesse Burneko and illustrated by Jennifer Rodgers.

Download the 2-page PDF, and check out the other Guided Play Scenarios available.

Streamlining Timestream

As we head into the new year, I'm streamlining the ndp design back catalog. Timestream has been out for 5 years now, and while it has a special place in my heart it's time to drop the extraneous options that I've had available.

The prices and lower-value format options for Timestream are now being reduced! Timestream is now available in the following formats:

- Standard PDF is now $8 (down from $12)
- Coilbound is now $12 (down from $18)
- A Print + PDF bundle of the two is available from IPR for $14

There is no longer a Basic PDF, and the Premier version is only available through POD via lulu.com (for $25). Once the Coilbound is sold out of IPR it too will only be available through lulu.com

Please visit Indie Press Revolution or the ndp design lulu storefront to order.

Happy Epimas!

I am very happy to be participating in Epimas this year.

Epimas, as you well know, is the traditional day of game giving. Every year, on December 24th, friends and family gather round and exchange games, which they then play well into the night. Often making new friends or settling old scores. It's a most magical time of the year.

Dig a Thousand Holes, npd design, and Black & Green Games want to do our very best to make this the perfect Epimas season for you and yours. So we've gotten together and came up with this special offer: from now until Epimas (Dec. 24) if you purchase one of our PDFs for a friend, you can select any of the PDFs involved in the offer for yourself, for free. The gift PDF will be e-mailed to your friend (or loved one or arch nemesis or random stranger with a valid e-mail address) on December 24th, but your free PDF will be sent to you as soon as we can get to it. Details are all right here.

Give the gift of giving to yourself this Epimas season.

New Guided Play Scenario Available for Annalise: Dracula Reloaded
There's a new Guided Play Scenario available for Annalise. It's called Dracula Reloaded, written by the lovely and talented Kat Jones and played to good effect at the last JiffyCon and Origins, as far as I know. She's taken the stock Dracula characters and put a twist on 'em, and I think it's rather neat.

The year is 1897. Lucy Westenra is joined by her friend Mina Murray, a schoolteacher, to spend summer holiday with her guardian Dr. Edward Seward. Dr. Seward has opened a sanatorium on the grounds of his ancestral estate. He is busy with his patient Renfield, who he hopes will make a full recovery, thereby proving that Dr. Seward’s revolutionary methods for dealing with madness are successful...

You can download the 2-page PDF for free directly by clicking here. It is also available through my lulu.com storefront or my rpgnow page.

Dracula Reloaded joins The Voyage of the Auspicious in the Annalise Guided Play Scenario library, and it features a brand new piece of gorgeous Jennifer Rodgers art.
The Dance and the Dawn
I am very happy to announce that I will publishing a new game from Dev Purkayastha of FGJ Games: The Dance and the Dawn. This game is a fairy tale fable concerning the efforts of three princesses to find their true loves over the course of three dances between midnight and dawn. It's a wonderful party/roleplaying/board game, and I'm very satisfied with how it's all come out. It will be debuting at Gen Con 2009, and available for order shortly thereafter.
