Coming Sept. 19: Cap'n Jack on the Isle of Pirate's Doom

We're putting the finishing touches on ROLF!: Cap'n Jack on the Isle of Pirate's Doom, a trifle we're releasing tomorrow in celebration of International Talk Like a Pirate Day.

It features game stats for three Captain Jacks, Helen Tavrel (extra pirate geek points if you can identify who she is and why she belongs), pirates (Caribbean, Somali, and Copyright), ninjas, and The Mustache, the mysterious Manchurian Ninja Master who has brought them all to the Isle of Pirate's Doom for battles to the death! There's also new Combat Maneuvers and Spellings.

While we work to get the product release-ready, here are some videos for the music to play Cap'n Jack on the Isle of Pirate's Doom by.

Happy birthday, H.P. Lovecraft

Today, August 20, is the birthday of H.P. Lovecraft, groundbreaking horror writer and the first guy to write about fresh-ripping, gore-spreading zombies. If you haven't read his "Herbert West, Re-Animator" stories, you should do so now. Click here to read them for free at Steve Miller's Fiction Archive... or wait until October when they will be featured in a horror anthology we're putting together in celebration of Halloween (when you can read them a whole slew of other cool horror stories--including ones from this decade).

Aside from reading the Lovecraft stories, we here at NUELOW Games is celebrating his birthday by giving you a gift! For Saturday, the latest ROLF! supplement--a Lovecraft-inspired effort titled "Herbert West vs. the Zombies"--can be had free of charge by clicking here. (A copy of "ROLF!: The Rollplaying Game of Big Dumb Fighters" is required for full enjoyment of the product, however.)

Also, here's Jeff Preston & Karl M.'s portrait of Herbert West, as found in the product..
