Charity Auction: Signed Copies of Time & Temp and Dread House

The auction is over. Congratulations to the winners and thanks again to Chris Roback of We Xogo for putting this all together.

Chris Roback, the gentleman behind We Xogo, was at PAX East this past weekend and took it upon himself to put together an auction to benefit the Child’s Play Charity. And he’s been gracious enough to allow me to include some games.

So if you’ve been waiting for a good excuse to purchase either Time & Temp or Dread House–to indulge yourself while still helping a worthy cause–here is your excuse. Or if you’ve already got the games and you’re

looking to get a copy for a friend, you know what to do (buy these signed ones and give your friend your ratty old copies). Or if you just like helping kids in hospitals and want to make a couple small press game designers look like big shots, here’s your chance. Bid the hell out of these puppies.*

* Puppies not included.

 

Fresh from PAX East 2011

Well PAX East was a roaring success, definitely something I plan to return to many times over. It was an absolute pleasure meeting the lot of you. The times were crazy and the conversations were regretfully short. If we didn’t get a chance to finish our discussion, please feel free to start it up again on my forums over at the RPGCrossroads.

Also, I sold out of almost everything I had. So if you didn’t get to the booth in time, here are some links to get you to the games you were looking for:

Time & Temp:

• Unbound Edition (the print one in the file folder) can be bought here.
• Paperless Office Edition (the PDF version which comes free with the print) can be bought here.

Dread House:

• Print Edition can be bought here.
• PDF Edition (which comes free with the print) can be bought here.

Dread:

• Print Edition can be bought here.
• PDF Edition can be bought here.

 

The Time for Talking Is Now!

I am a fervent babbler. And given enough air time, I’d strangle myself. I don’t know how, but trust me, it’d happen.

In any case, today, as luck would have it, you have not one, but two opportunities to listen to my incessant rambling.

The first is a quick little interview about Epimas past and present over at Canon Puncture.

The second is a not-so-quick little interview over at the Jennisodes about Time & Temp, Dread, Swords Without Master, and Dread House and the crazy rollercoaster of my design process. Featuring the world’s longest one-minute-pitch!

 

The Time for Talking is Over

Now begins the Era of Typing.

Thanks to the folks over at the Neighborhood the RPG Crossroads, Dig a Thousand Holes now has a semi-official forum. Stop on by. Say hi. Tell us about your adventures in time or haunted houses. Ask rules questions. Share a vegan recipe. Post a pic of your gaming collection. Whatever tickles your fancy, neighbor.

It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Epimas

So you say you want a Time & Temp PDF. And you want a Dread House PDF. And you’re thinking to yourself, “You know, I have this friend who is so very dear to me and who wouldn’t mind PDFs of these fine games as well.” Plus, we’d probably want ten more games. And I’m not willing to spend a dime over $40.

Well my friend, you’re in luck. Tis the season for Epimas miracles, and this year, we have a crazy big miracle for you. Eleven different designers, 12 different games, all organized into a affordable PDF bundles which you can buy for a loved one, and get the same one in return for free. Including all 12 games for just $40!

Check this out now!

 

 

The Colour(ing Book) Out of Space

Idle hands are the Devil’s tools, as they say. Best to put those Devil’s tools of yours to work coloring all the delectable art from Dread House.

The Dread House Coloring Book is available for free as a PDF right here.

For a Limited Time: From now until Halloween, anyone who orders a print copy of the Dread House game will recieve a print copy of the coloring book as well.

 

Reviewed!

You no longer have to take my word for it.

The Hopeless Gamer reviews Dread House:

We managed to snag a copy at GenCon before they sold out, and we were excited to give it a spin when my 12-year-old niece came to stay with us for a week. She really got into describing the scary stuff we encountered in the rooms, going so far as to get up and flicker the lights at one point, and went to town developing her “athlete” character into equal parts fearless hero and total ditz.

Dread House is available here and as a PDF here. Or you can find it in the Dread for All Ages Bundle.

And there’s a Time & Temp review up at RPGGeek:

I actually laughed out loud several times reading the game. It’s like McSweeney’s, Kate Beaton, or Jackson Pubick of the Venture Brothers wrote a game. Plus there’s an off-hand Borges reference in there and that pretty much makes it a winner for me.

Time & Temp is currently on sale celebrating it’s nomination for the Golden Geek Game of the Year Award.

 

The Dread for All Ages Bundle

Now available at RPGNow and RPGDriveThru, Dread plus Dread House in a PDF bundle for only $17.50. Block per block, more Jenga value for your buck than any other deal on the Internet. And just in time to stuff your Halloween stockings. Or whatever it is the kids are doing these days.
