What’s Happening?

Are you Strange? We certainly are, but that’s not actually what I mean.

Have you heard of The Strange RPG? The newest game from Bruce Cordell,Monte Cook and Monte Cook Games, LLC.

What is it? Imagine Sliders meets Time Bandits, where dimension-hopping opportunists raid back and forth plundering unsuspecting realities. But maybe, just maybe, there is something dark and sinister behind these different worlds, and ancient powers lurk … waiting.

The Strange will be available next month, and as Kickstarter backers, we should get ours before they’re available most places. We’re taking pre-orders, both in person and on our website. http://tinyurl.com/ly64tev

The pre-order is cool because if you photograph your receipt, they’ll send you the PDF of the game now. Read it now, and have the hardcover in a few weeks to play. It’s a great deal!

We’ll also have the Player’s Guide and the first adventure, The Dark Spiral.

Tim Morgan

When Tim Morgan told his high school guidance counselor that he wanted to publish games for a living, the response was a clueless, “Uhhhh, you’ll probably want some college then.” Twenty-five years later, while still not publishing games for a living, he has made games his life -- over twenty years as the manager of a game store in Seattle, playtester of more RPGs and board games than you can shake a stick at, and small-press publisher of several games and even more novels. And now, co-owner of the ‘Round the Table Game Pub in Lynnwood. He currently lives in Everett, WA, where he is the caretaker of four (no, five!) lolcats, the oppressive taskmaster of a teenaged daughter, and the devoted husband of a wonderful author. His latest work is Ellis: Kingdom in Turmoil, a full RPG rules system and setting, detailing a low-fantasy world where religion is king and morality matters.
