What's
New With Goodman Games Seminar Thanks
to everyone for a terrific Gen Con! It was a
blast. The booth was always busy. Our events
were packed to selling out -- both "on the
books" events and the now-infamous Catastrophe
Island escapades. Our "What's New" seminar was
great fun, and we're very excited about the
reception to our new projects. If you missed
the seminar, the fine folks of Spellburn put
it all
on video for you (while you're there,
listen to their Gen
Con recap episode). |

Grimtooth's
Ultimate Traps Collection We are very excited to announce a partnership with Flying Buffalo to produce a hardcover compilation of all the classic Grimtooth's Traps book! This 500-page book presents the material in its original, classic form. No updates, no rules revisions, no changes, and nothing to disrupt the entertaining formula that has led the Grimtooth's line to sell more than 250,000 copies since 1981. This collector's hardcover includes exact reproductions of the works Grimtooth's Traps, Grimtooth's Traps Too, Grimtooth's Traps Fore, Grimtooth's Traps Ate, and Grimtooth's Traps Lite. All are compiled for the first time ever in a hardcover binding. In addition, the book includes all-new Grimtooth's traps! For the first time in over a decade, the box of submissions has been re-opened and reviewed. Contributors include original co-creator Steve S. Crompton, Tunnels & Trolls creator Ken St. Andre, and many fans who have submitted ideas over the years. The hardcover also includes historical commentary on the origins of the Grimtooth character, interviews with the creators, and a foreword by adventure author (and trap whiz) Harley Stroh. Plus,
of course, more than 500 deadly devices and
sinister snares, from the grimly cheerful
claws of the great Troll, Grimtooth himself --
delvers beware! All traps are suitable for use
in any role playing game. Expected
release date: Early 2015. |

Judges Guild Deluxe Collector’s Edition, Volume 1We are very excited to announce a partnership with Judges Guild to produce a series of deluxe collector's edition hardbacks. Each oversized volume will collect classic Judges Guild modules in their original format, as well as the installments of the Judges Guild Journal that originally shipped with these products. Both the original Judges Guild modules and the extremely difficult-to-find Judges Guild Journals will be digitally restored to pristine condition and presented just as they were first presented nearly forty years ago. The very first volume will focus on the works of Bob Bledsaw: Tegel Manor, Thieves of Fortress Badabaskor, and Citadel of Fire. These will be printed with installments L, P, and S of the Judges Guild Journal. The book will also include introductions by Jon Peterson and James Mishler, and a foreword by Bob Bledsaw, Jr. Additional material will include a gallery of the various covers over the multiple printings of these modules, selections from material presented in later printings that was not included in earlier printings, and other classic content. All
items will be reprinted at their actual size,
including the Judges Guild Journal, meaning
the page size of this book will be larger than
11"x17". Expected
release date: Mid-2015. |

Dungeon
Crawl Classics #82.5: Dragora's
Dungeon A level 1 adventure by Harley Stroh Eons past the fabled sorcerer-kings of Parhok perished in a rain of eldritch fire. But legends hold that one tribe survived the apocalypse, fleeing with their slaves to a hidden city, where the greatest enchanters of all time could sleep away the centuries, and awaken in a future age as rulers of a ruined land. Now once more the forbidden spells of the Parhok threaten the good folk of the Known Realms. A kingdom lies ensorcelled, a royal family ensnared by the forgotten dweomers of a long-dead race. When the best attempts of seers and diviners have failed, it falls to the heroes to save the kingdom. Have the sorcerer-kings risen to
reclaim their bejeweled thrones? Or has a
more sinister power bent their ancient
magics to its sinister will? Only the most
courageous and cunning of heroes will emerge
victorious from Dragora's Dungeon. |

Age
of Cthulhu 8: Starfall Over the Plateau
of Leng by Jon Hook An investigation into the whereabouts of a missing artist becomes a manhunt for her suspected murderer. The trail leads to the impossible, deep into the mystical realm of sleep, The Dreamlands. The investigators must journey to the very heart of the Plateau of Leng, to the fabled Pharos of Leng, if they are to find their quarry, but it may all be for naught, as a giant falling star threatens to destroy both The Waking World and The Dreamlands. Set throughout the globe and torn from the pages of the hidden history of the world, Age of Cthulhu adventures bring new secrets and mind-bending horrors to your 1920's Call of Cthulhu game. Each adventure comes with copious player handouts, detailed maps, and pre-generated investigators ready to risk their lives and their sanity to confront the horrors of an uncaring universe. Age of Cthulhu adventures include many of the classic elements of Call of Cthulhu: action, investigation, and a forbidding sense of horror. Though the adventures utilize real locations and historical events, Age of Cthulhu is first and foremost dedicated to exploring the horrors of the Cthulhu Mythos, and to bringing the excitement of heroic pulp-themed adventure to your gaming table. So dim the lights, load your trusty sidearm, and prepare to venture into the unknown... Order print copy now! |
