And end to the Savage Worlds controversy?

05-Jun-2010

Given the recent posts about Savage Worlds licensing, I hope to draw a line under this sorry affair with a post in my blog and get back to designing some cool games. See my reasons in my latest blog post: http://www.webjam.com/the_black_orifice/bens_blog/$bens_blog/2010/06/05/viva_las_orifice_or_why_were_no_longer_savage_4jnikyQb0w.

Following a post on the Pinnacle boards I've been pondering our approach here at the Orifice and put my thoughts down in a blog entry. Check out "Ben's Blog" or follow the link at the bottom of the front page

ShadowFlux now available

18-Jan-2010

As part of our continued release of freebie Savage Worlds material, you should now be able to find ShadowFlux in our downloads area.

ShaodwFlux is a game of horror that has its origins in the first game Nigel and I wrote together - which was a Vampire LARP with an alternative background to keep things mysterious for players who knew the WoD inside out and back to front. It still feels a little "white-wolfy" but then there's nothing that I can think of of that ilk for Savage Worlds, so maybe it fills a gap...

Anyway its free, so go for your life...
