Rended Press

Look what Bookface picked up: Picked this up for 25¢ at a local thrift store. Useful somehow for something (cough cough Freeport cough cough). Oooha! $2, but worth it. Now if only I can find a decent copy of The Monsters of Star Trek . . . Dungeon Roll is a fairly fun push-your-luck dice game. Excellent for solitaire play, too. I didn't back the Kickstarter and picked this up at my LFGS. Oh, and get yourself a playmat printed on a mousepad , too! I know, I know — d20. But it was new in box with the shrink still on it, and there are a handful of web enhancements that were written just for this beginner's box (link to my Dropbox).

Hey, microgamers! Do you remember Chitin:I ? You know, Metagaming Microgame #2 ? Check out this redesign by Scott Everts : Great googly-moogly! This is a thing of beauty! And don't worry—I've got you covered with the downloads!

In February 2013 I mentioned I had a Gammarauder game box on my shelf. This one: I played this back in high school and I bought the game purely out of nostalgia. This morning I finally sorted through the box contents and verified that I do indeed have a complete set of the game (counting punched chits is a pain in the butt!). I had a $5 off coupon for my neighborhood hardware store, so I grabbed two Plano 3448-60 Utility Boxes to store the chits and game pieces. It's a tight squeeze to get the boxes, the card deck, and the hex boards in the box, but they do fit. I was also reading up on Boardgamegeek.com and Wikipedia that DC Comics had produced a 10-issue run of comics based on the game. Wikipedia revealed that in issues 1, 3, & 4 of the comic there was a d6-based mini-RPG called Gammarauders (Extremely Tiny) Roleplaying System ! I had never heard of this before so I turned to The Google and tracked down (ahem) fan-scanned issues to take a look at the game sys

Last year I pointed out that some dude had re-themed Barbarian Prince . I've discovered another classic micro-game that has been re-themed. Lads & lasses, check out Kwanchai Moriya's Melee re-design : Check out more pictures here . I've gathered all the files from the Boardgamegeek.com Melee file section and threw them together in a zip file so you can download, print, and assemble a version of the game for your own pleasure. ** Link removed due to DMCA Complain from Steve Jackson Games on 2018-06-06**. Kwanchai has also redesigned several other games . Steve Jackson Games forced him to remove his OGRE redesign from circulation , but if you really want it, hit me up via email and I can forward you the files.  ** No longer available due to the above complaint from Steve Jackson Games -- removed to avoid further takedown notices.**
