Like its English cousin, this one is absolutely free! - Thomas Weigel, e23 Manager May 20, 2006: New e23 ManagerI'll be acting manager for e23 as of today. While I'm getting my feet under me, submissions and news will be delayed, but customer service will continue unabated (and is still at e23@sjgames.com). The taste of power has not yet gone to my head, so no major policy changes today. - Thomas Weigel, acting e23 Manager May 19, 2006: Is 900 A Milestone?You're darn tootin' it is. Thanks to everyone for helping us get there. The next one will be extra fun, I promise . . . Scott Haring, e23 Manager e23@sjgames.com May 18, 2006: The Latest From ุOneุone Games has sent us three more of their fine map-based products, all continuations in their innovative series:The Great City, Castle Ward is the latest in the ุone's Blueprints line. The castle where the Lord Mayor lives and the city does its business is so large it is a ward unto itself. Visit its many levels, from the roof suitable for observation and catapult fire to the dungeon, good for more nefarious activities. Sewers is the newest in ุone's series of Battlemaps, gorgeous top-down views of various sewer sections that can be put together in any combination, marked out in 1" grid and ready for miniature combat. And to round out the latest batch, Desecrated Temple is the newest Rooms & Encounters product, taking a single room from The Dungeon Under the Mountain and expanding it with adventure seeds, complete d20 stats for traps, monsters, and treasure scaled to three different challenge levels, and of course, more of ุone's great maps.
So what are you waiting for? May 17, 2006: All The World's A Stage, And All The Men And Women Merely RoleplayersThe most amazing thing about the Open Gaming License is that it has set the gaming community's creativity free to turn anything into a roleplaying adventure. Latest proof comes from Louis Porter, Jr. Design, and their d20 Shakespeare line. Yes, Shakespeare. Each supplement lays out the plot of a classic play, has d20 stats (at multiple CR levels) for the major characters, and GM advice and adventure seeds for inserting adventurers either directly in the action of the play, or just in the same time and place.
Just released and available on e23 are supplements covering Henry V, Macbeth, Othello, and Romeo & Juliet, all reasonably priced (heck, downright cheap at $2.79!) and worth adding to your game collection. May 16, 2006: Interstellar Wars Delayed***

May 14, 2006: Heliograph Flies In, Guns A' Blazin'One of the coolest companies out there, Heliograph, Inc, has joined the e23 horde.

Scott Haring, e23 Manager e23@sjgames.com May 13, 2006: GURPS Space: Planetary Record And WorksheetEvery space campaign needs worlds - maybe hundreds of them!

Now e23 makes the job even easier with GURPS Space: Planetary Record and Worksheet, another free game aid!

You can do it all with GURPS Space: Planetary Record and Worksheet. And did we mention it's free? Our e23 faithful are getting this announcement first, so go grab it before the crunch hits!

And what made both months so great is that neither sales record depended on one killer product. Prior to those two months, our previous best two months had been August 2005 (when GURPS Character Assistant came out) and April 2005 (when GURPS Mysteries came out). We sold 281 GCA and 247 GURPS Mysteries in those debut months; in contrast, the top sellers the last two months were 82 GCAs and 44 GURPS Lands Out of Time in March, and 111 GCAs and 39 GURPS Powers in April. That means our inventory base is getting wider, we're getting a larger and more diverse customer profile, and things are getting better every single day.
