My friend Luke Johnson reports that he’s been made editor-in-chief of Wicked Fantasy Factory, a new roleplaying game publisher. I don’t know anything more about it than what it says on the site, but I like the emphasis on action and fun. Best of luck to Luke in his new venture.
The fine people at Reaper Miniatures have allowed a fan to set up a website that features free downloads of the minigames published by Heritage USA back in the early ’80s. The site has eight classic games posted. They require download and some assembly, but they’re a real blast from the past for gamers who had the chance to play some of them when they were first published.
Thanks to Greg Costikyan for pointing these out, and to Reaper for letting people enjoy these games again.
My pal and former boss Tim Gerritsen has left the company at which I worked with him, Human Head Studios. I had a great time working with Tim and the crew there, although it’s now a much different company than the one I left, complete with brand-new offices and a hit title (Prey) on its hands. My friend Jason Blair, who took over as the head of the adventure games division after I left, is still there though and now working as the company’s spokesperson too.
Best of luck to Human Head in finding a new CEO and to Tim in the next chapter of his life!
A talented group of indie filmmakers from Chicago—a group known as Reactor 88 Studios—are working on a proof of concept for a film based on my Brave New World roleplaying game. I sat down and had dinner with them in December and met the cast and crew, led by producer Darren Orange. They have a tremendous amount of energy and a real passion for the project, and I’m excited to watch them pull it all together.
