The Walking Eye & The Walking Dead

Our friends at The Walking Eye podcast are having a fundraiser to keep new episodes coming, fund an upcoming con, and help produce new episodes from con. If you help out you get a special Dungeon World mini-class, The Walking Dead. Sometimes when you come back from Death’s Black Gates you come back… changed. Of [...]

State of the Dungeon World

How was 2011 for Dungeon World? Very good, in fact. Total sales between the PDF and hardcopy were 555. That does not include the app, which has sold 134 in a shorter timeframe (just over a month). Overall it’s been a ridiculously succesful first year for us. 2012 is looking even better.

Legends and Lore 2011 Wrapup

Monte’s Legends and Lore post this week is a wrapup of all the Legends and Lore posts this year. You can find a similar list of all my Indies and More posts here.

One Cool Thing I Saw At Go Play Northwest

So this handy deck of CC-licensed portraits is a handy way to show everyone what your character looks like. They’re especially [...]

The Latest

The latest in the ongoing app approval saga: yesterday Dungeon World Basic was approved! Unfortunately, I immediately went to download it and found a bug that I just can’t let slide. My day job is software testing and I can’t believe I let this slip. Since I’m blazing a new trail here, I want the [...]

“Waiting for Review”

Based on the current status of the Dungeon World Basic and Powers for Good: Issue 0 apps, they may not make Monday’s planned launch. I’ll post here as things develop, but it looks like turnaround is slow right now.
