I will personally be wandering around PAX East this weekend, leaving nobody to handle the manual step in processing orders for Glistening Chests, or send out confirmation messages on orders of The Massive Vs. The Masses until I return on Monday. Orders will still go through and everything will be sent out eventually, just not until after the weekend.
In the meantime, while nothing is officially scheduled, there’s roughly a 50% chance at any given time that I will be running MvM demos in the tabletop room for anyone who wanders by.

Due to a surprising number of recent orders and inquiries coming from various European countries, we decided to plumb the arcane mysteries of international shipping options, and worked out what appears to be a fairly reasonable and fixed price of $22 U.S. to ship a copy of The Massive Vs. The Masses to anywhere Europe. Mind you, the rules and card text are still going to be in English, and those in the U.K. may find them somewhat “U” deficient, and anyone elsewhere in the world should still really send us an e-mail to double check on things, but if you just want a copy of this game sent somewhere between the Mediterranean the north coast of Norway, this little button should be what you’re looking for:
Those of you in North America meanwhile should continue to use the link found on the game’s main page. Things will likely be reorganized to reflect all this as soon as we double check a few more potential destinations.

Recently, there has been a bit of discussion in those circles prone to doing so about the notion that buying a (video)game used is essentially the same thing as pirating it. I’d just like to say on behalf of myself and any other publishers who want to get behind me on this that this assertion is insane.
Videogames, and certain tabletop games are on the pricier side as entertainment commodities go. Some people can’t afford to spend, say, $40 on a game. Ever. Some people can do so only rarely, after a lot of word of mouth wins them over. A fair number of those people who can afford to buy anything that strikes their fancy only have that luxury thanks to their ability to get half their money back on eBay when they don’t like what they have. This gets games out of the closets of people who aren’t playing them into the hands of people who otherwise couldn’t afford them, generating more word of mouth to win over people on the fence. Everyone wins here.
So here’s our official stance on the matter. If you can afford The Massive Vs. The Masses? Buy a copy. Play it a few times. In the unlikely event you don’t love it, and don’t want to play it again? Hop on eBay, or BoardGameGeek, and sell it to someone else. Please do so. I don’t want a single copy of my game in the hands of someone who isn’t enjoying it, and as long as someone paid for it when it first shipped out of here, anything that helps that happen is great in my book.

Earlier this week, artist Frank Frazetta passed away. As he pioneered the particular style of artwork which inspired our tongue-in-cheek barbarian RPG Glistening Chests, we thought it was only fair to let people have the game for free this weekend. So if you’d like to honor his memory with a tribute to his art, or seeing other peoples’ tributes has simply driven you to the same need for satire that inspired the game in the first place, just send an e-mail with “Frank Frazetta” somewhere in the subject line to jakealley@gmail.com between now and 3 A.M. Eastern Monday morning, and you should receive your free PDF at the same e-mail address by weekend’s end.

Well, it’s March. That means it’s time for us to discuss the state of things for the past and coming year. Not much to see this year, but there is some cryptic hinting about a fairly interesting project.

Dork Forest Radio featured a mention of The Massive Vs. The Masses this week. Listeners who wandered over can still take advantage of the extremely discounted price for the time being by clicking here up through the end of the week.
In other news, we’ve been busy with a couple of interesting new projects which may be ready to see the light of day by the end of next month. No promises, but there may be an interesting development in the field of playing tabletop games via the internet, and something more conventional in the field of free web-based games.

In thanks to all the people who have shown support for the big ball of stylistic cheese that is Glistening Chests, and making it our best selling game this year, we have decided to make this complete GC adventure freely available for anyone brave enough to download it:
Glistening Chests: The Sack of the Northern Pole
Fair warning, like all Glistening Chests products, it is full of double-entendres and embarrassing displays of Sword and Sorcery schlock. Read it at your own risk. Of course, if you appreciate this sort of thing, the entire adventure is presented in a narrative format, and still makes an amusing read even if you’re unfamiliar with the underlying mechanics.
We have also decided to extend our special holiday sale on The Massive Vs. The Masses through January, to help give it a shot at being our most successful product for next year.

It’s been a while since there’s been an announcement around here. There are a number of fascinating reasons for that, ranging from the loss of our primary hard drive for notes on games-in-development, to working on a pleasant upcoming surprise. Today though, we’re here to talk about our flagship game MvM.
The rest of the first print run of The Massive Vs. The Masses: Gamorzilla Vs. The Army is taking up a lot of space here which we need to clear out to work on our army of atomic zombie men upcoming products. So until they’re gone or we come to our senses, you can get your copy for only $25. Not to sound like a used car salesman, but that is a completely ridiculous price. You’re basically paying for just the raw materials that go into each copy. So it would be a very good idea to grab a copy while you can by clicking the link at the bottom of this announcement, because you’re never going to get a game of this quality this cheap again.

Just about everyone involved in the company has been in a state of semi-vacation through the month of June, either getting married, attending a wedding, or celebrating an anniversary oddly enough. A slightly delayed new podcast, consisting of a discussion of the artwork of The Massive Vs. The Masses with the artist responsible is now up, and a few interesting RPG projects have been making nice progress behind the scenes as well.

It’s official. We have a regular monthly podcast. You can check it out right here:Â http://www.gcast.com/u/WorldDomination/main
This month’s is a bit of the history of the company, and some candid talk on various obscure and potentially embarrassing games of the distant past and future. Next month, we plan to dedicate the whole show to The Massive Vs. The Masses and the art behind it, so if there’s anything you’d like to hear about specifically, let us know.
