This is the last message you'll see until Jan. 3 or 4 . . . or so. Depends on how piled up the email and everything else is then.
Of course, if everybody else is also taking it easy, it shouldn't be too bad . . . we'll see. December 26, 2005: . . . And Some Bad NewsUnfortunately, the moving chaos and the holidays have pushed GURPS WWII: Their Finest Hour into the first week of January, not December as promised. Sorry about that. We think you'll like it when you see it, though. Hang in there.– Scott Haring, e23 Manager e23@sjgames.com December 25, 2005: Ho! Ho!

Get shopping!– Scott Haring, e23 Manager e23@sjgames.com December 24, 2005: An Early Christmas PresentWe've just posted a brand new free game aid for GURPS Fourth Edition, GURPS Combat Cards. The cards are the brainchild of two of our fans, Robert L. Beaver and Andy Normansell, who both sent us submissions within a week or two of each other. We took the best ideas from each design and came up with what you can now download here for free!We will not announce this freebie's existence to the general public until Christmas Day at the earliest, so this is a chance for you e23 faithful to grab this one before the virtual lines get long and the bandwidth gets clogged.

Turns out he's a big In Nomine fan, and he loves what we're doing with the line here at e23! An entry dated Dec. 16 (you'll have to scroll down to read it -- he's a very prolific blogger . . .) had some very nice things to say about In Nomine Superiors: Eli, so if all my begging and pleading hasn't convinced you yet, maybe his enthusiastic review will get you to give it a look.– Scott Haring, e23 Manager e23@sjgames.com December 15, 2005: When You Think About It, It's ALL Zeros And OnesWhile you're still recovering from the mad rush to grab a copy of In Nomine Superiors: Eli (just went on sale yesterday, you know, in case you haven't clicked over and picked one up . . . remember, nothing says "Merry Christmas!" like the gift of an In Nomine PDF!), it's time to check out the latest and greatest new company to grace the digital pages of e23:01 Games is Italy's gift to fantasy roleplaying in the person of one Mario Barbati, a man who has been plying the PDF trade for a few years now and is one who has definitely gotten it right. He has a huge line of product (he sent me over 75 products to post!), and we are just getting started on getting it up and available. The move and the holidays won't help, either. But I took a little time yesterday to get a few up, and you should really check them out. Mario is doing things with the technical capabilities of PDFs that nobody else in the field is doing, and he's making maps and floorplans that are simply second to none. A quick look at what's up so far is just a click away.
There will be more good stuff up from 01 Games as soon as I can get to it, so this is a link you might want to consider bookmarking and checking back on. Trust me. December 14, 2005: Eli's Coming . . .Midday UpdateIn Nomine Superiors: Eli is now online and available for sale. Enjoy!* * * Uploading at 12 noon today is In Nomine Superiors: Eli, everything you need to know to bring the Archangel of Creation and his servants to your In Nomine game. Eli was one of Heaven's oldest – and coolest – dudes. Then, a few dozen years ago, he released most of his angels from his service, abandoned the celestial realm, and went for a long walk on Earth. He still hasn't come back. Some Demon Princes think (and Dominic fears) that with the right push, he'll Fall. Others think (and Asmodeus fears) it's all part of a more subtle plan to redeem a Demon Prince. Or some other long-term scheme that will change the balance of the War permanently. You could ask Eli, but hey – guy's been around a long time . . . maybe he just needs a break for a century or two, y'know?
In Nomine Superiors: Eli is written by Genevieve Cogman, author of the e23 In Nomine adventure City on Fire and author or co-author of nine print In Nomine books. December 13, 2005: Hail To The Kyng, Baby . . .It's new company time again! The Kyngdoms is the impressive wunderkind of Keith Robinson, who writes, does the layout, creates the maps, and for all I know wrestles the giant squids in the South China Sea for the ink with which to print . . . oh, yeah. PDFs. No ink. I forgot.Anyway, The Kyngdoms is founded on a fantasy world known as . . . [drum roll, please] . . . The Kyngdoms. There's the exceedingly gorgeous setting book, a couple of adventures out already, a giant map of the world, and an atlas. And he's clearly just getting started.
You can check out the first few products in The Kyngdom's line with just a couple of clicks – then you can say you knew them when. December 11, 2005: Also Coming SoonGURPS WWII: Their Finest HourThe Battle of Britain comes to GURPS WWII! The history, the tactics, the equipment, the pilots, and more, all from GURPS WWII: Doomed White Eagle and GURPS WWII: Michael's Army co-author Michele Armellini!Coming Later In December* * *GURPS WWII Core RulebookThis is a reprint of the last printing of GURPS WWII, with all known errata fixed where possible or otherwise listed in the file.Coming Later In DecemberDecember 10, 2005: Coming SoonJust to give you something to add to your last-minute shopping list . . .In Nomine Superiors: EliOf all the Archangels, Eli produces the most contradictory images in the hearts of angels. He is both creator and destroyer – full of life and hope, his future wide-open, but out of control and out of his mind.Now Eli walks the Earth in various guises, and not even the other Archangels know for sure what he's doing. Insane bacchanalia? Hidden meditation? Consorting with evil? Gossip is rife, and Eli just smiles vaguely . . . In Nomine Superiors: Eli gives the full lowdown on Heaven's most enigmatic – and least understood – Archangel. Complete information on his history, his servants, his powers, and his relationships with the other major power brokers on both sides of the War. What it's like to play a character in his service, and pages of campaign and adventure ideas centered around Heaven's mysterious Eli.
Coming December 14– Scott Haring, e23 Manager e23@sjgames.com December 5, 2005: Goodman Had A Reason After AllSilly me. I mentioned a few days ago when announcing Goodman Games' sale for all of December that they didn't say why they were doing it. Turns out, it's their 4th Anniversary.
