Freaky Forest -- The Halloween Game -
This is the game I created with the help of my wife and kids.
Each year we make a game and sell a limited number of copies
during the holiday season. This the one the kids love best
because we play for candy!
I have completed the second Three 4 $5.00 collection! It's got the smash hit (?) Play Eurogames in song and video as well as three fun games.
Be sure to read my updates on the B&W
Games Blanket Project to get an idea of my overall mission with my games.
World Gauntlet Federation has been released in print-and-play format by Pyromyth. I
co-designed this game with David Whitcher. It's a light
character-based game set in a detailed world perfect for a humorous
RPG. One of those, along with some expansions, could be on
the way depending on the success of this initial release.
We've got two videos in the What's It To Ya? Project now. The
first focuses more on the deeper aspects of the game. The
second shows more of the game's potention for fun.
Snakebite has been picked up by Blue Panther Games.
It was our best selling B&W title and I'm glad to see it
being produced by a company that can bring it to a larger distribution..
Here's a video I made for Ballot Bots. That game is published
by Robot
Martini and it's in color, but since I co-designed
it I figured it was worth mentioning here.
Big
Game Hunters of the Universe - This game has been re-worked
with a lot of new art and new layouts. It's now available for
download from Pyromyth Games!
It was an attempt to make a fast, simple auction game that
could
be played during a lunch break. The theme makes it a game of
marketing, killing exotic beasts and trying to pay for it all.
Three 4 $5.00: Volume 1
- This is
our latest gaming experiement. On this CD you'll find three
fun
Print-and-Play games plus a couple Black & White Movies.
This volume
contains the games King for a Day, Get Paul That Promotion (2nd
Edition) and Blackmail.
As for other news...
A game I designed with Stephen Glenn was just released from Robot
Martini. It's called Ballot Bots.
In 2005 I signed a contract with SimplyFun and they pubished my
game Take Your Pick.
In 2006 I'm releasing a new edition of my party game What's
It To
Ya? through New World Games. Consequently I haven't focused
as much
on B&W Games in the past months.
My blog, which is not entirely game related, has been moved to here.
The Games
Get
Paul That Promotion - This is a hilarious creativity game in
the same mold as Why
Did the Chicken...?, The
Haiku Game and several other things I've worked on the past
year. This time you're working to crank out names and slogans for new
products. The trick is you're trying not to have
the best or worst response. I love the change in standards in the game
as a "good" response isn't so good, though it is almost always
side-splittingly funny!
