Convention season is upon us once more, and this month’s See Page XX sees us at UK Games Expo in Birmingham (booth P38 in the Palace room), and heading from there to Origins Game Fair (booth 709) in Columbus, OH, so please do come and say hi if you’re around.
Work on the Dracula Dossier has been keeping us more than busy, but we’ve found time to squeeze in some other projects. New this month, we’ve got the May edition of KWAS, The Spear of Destiny, now available in the webstore, as is the May edition of 13th Age Monthly, Eidolons. KWAS Vol. 3 subscribers now have the latest edition, Hideous Creatures: The Great Race of Yith on their order receipt pages – this will be available to non-subscribers at the end of May. And another two brand-new story games available to playtest, from our upcoming story games anthology.
