Coming Soon: The Breast Hope for Peace!

Have you ever wondered what Chuck Norris might look like as a ROLF! character? How about Barack Obama? Or maybe Pope Benedict, the Pazer Papa?

Well, wonder no more, because they--and a whole lot of other folk--are featured in "ROLF!: The Breast Hope for Peace!"


This product has its genesis in the real-world milestone in world-cultural evolution of an the Arab-language magazine Lilac featuring a bikini-clad Christian Israeli of Arab ethnicity on its cover. (Read about it at Cinema Steve by clicking here.)

We here at NUELOW Games were more excited than Rebecca Black on a Friday morning (we SO excited!) when we heard about this development; if there was anything that could be taken as a harbinger than the Hope & Change and global harmony that it was believed Obama would usher in, than this had to be it! So, we celebrated in the only way we knew how and created a new RPG supplement.

On Wednesday, you'll be able to join our celebration, as "The Breast Hope for Peace" goes on sale at RPGNow and DriveThruRPG. And you'll be able to pit Mahmoud Ahmadinejad against invaders from Mars!

Or maybe you can watch us get sued....?

I played a working prototype of ROLF! for the iPhone.
And it was good!

For the past few weeks, developer Rick Blair has been working on what I think is an exceptionally cool iPhone app. But then I'm biased.

It's ROLF!: The Rollplaying Game for the iPhone/iPad/i-whatever that runs apps! It's what an RPG for your iPhone would be if they had iPhones in 1984, with black-and-white Larry Elmore art and no storyline whatsoever to get in the way of the fight. Within a month or two, you'll be able to break out your little devices and play ROLF! anywhere and everywhere, even without dice.

Note to the players in my campaigns: You better have THIS app on your mobiles if you bring them out during games I am GMing!

Here are some screen samples... watch this space for updates.

The latest fiction and RPG release from us:
'Fists of Foolishness' -- comedy the Robert E. Howard way!

We're proud to announce our third Robert E. Howard-centric fiction anthology, as we continue to share our love for this great writer's non-Conan/Solomon Kane material.

"Fists of Foolishness: The Tales of Sea-faring Boxing Champ Steve Costigan" is the first of two volumes collecting all the stories featuring the character that were published during Howard's life-time. It's an anthology of ten stories that shows Howard writing in a style very different from the oft-reprinted tales of Conan and Solomon Kane, one where his prose is light-hearted and down-to-earth but no less intense when it comes to the action.


SPECIAL BONUS: This edition includes a complete roleplaying game, "The Violent Worlds of Robert E. Howard". Using the ROLF! Rules System, and designed by veteran game designer Steve Miller and ROLF!-originator L.L. Hundal, this game is intended to capture the fun of a Steve Costigan brawl, but can easily be used to emulate the gore-spattered rampages of Conan.

Click here for more information, and to read a preview if you wish. It can be yours for just US$3.75!
