Set for release in October, the Army Men d6 Dice Set is coming along – in fact, it's almost ready to leave the factory! We settled on the classic green and tan flat plastic colors for this set of custom dice, and Gabby assembled a fitting blister that looks great.

As part of my endless quest to avoid taking a break, I've launched a personal project on Kickstarter that transports several wicked potion ideas from my imagination to your fantasy campaign. A systemless book, this work focuses on the broad overview and concepts of different potions; it is intended as inspiration that GMs can expand on and adapt to their favorite game system . . .

Designed by Sam Mitschke and Randy Scheunemann, Deadly Doodles 2 was created after listening to players who had a chance to demo the game at PAX East, FnordCon, and other conventions we visited earlier this year. The one request that we heard at every event? . . .

Earlier this year, there were months when some of our top-selling titles were unavailable. An unexpected bump in sales at the start of the year burned through our supply of Munchkin Deluxe, Munchkin 2, and other games and expansions, and left the team working hard with the GPI office to accelerate planned reprints . . .

For the first time ever, the Munchkin universe is coming to a gaming console near you! Munchkin: Quacked Quest, based on the game world of Munchkin, will be released by Asmodée Digital on PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and Steam (PC only) in Autumn 2019.
Asmodée Digital is a leader in video-game entertainment inspired by boardgames, and they have done a phenomenal job of bringing the manic humor of Munchkin to life. In this completely new game, players race to level up and betray their friends in a mad dash to kill monsters, grab the loot, and level up . . .

What do you get when you cross a kid's imagination with superheroes, police, and an older brother who is a talented artist?

Deadly Doodles was our smash hit at Gen Con last month and we've already ordered its second printing (expected to reach our primary warehouse in early December). At every event where we taught the game this year, the one question we were asked over and over (after "when is this coming out?") was: "Will there be more maps?"
Yes! . . .
