This Thursday, Americans will be celebrating Thanksgiving. We here at NUELOW Games are thankful for our readers and loyal players of ROLF!: The Roleplaying Game of Big Dumb Fighters (as well as the 30-Minute Roleplaying Games by Jeff Grubb and yours truly). Your support means a lot to us... especially to me, as the reception of many of the ROLF! projects and our fiction releases has been a bright spot for me in what has otherwise been a dark and miserable year.
Thank you all for your support.
L.L. Hundal and I want to show our appreciation by giving you a free copy of "Day of the Turkey," a special Thanksgiving release that Ms. Hundal labled the "silliest idea yet"... and I could hear her shaking her head over the phone. But I included a Pilgrim Hat in the product, so I won her over! In it, a time-traveling Edward D. Wood Jr., famous for making cinematic turkeys, battles a Demon Turkey to save a family of pilgrims.
To get your free copy of "Day of Turkey," click on this link. (If you don't already own one of the versions of ROLF! or The Violent Worlds of Robert E. Howard, you will need one of those as well.)
And do come back tomorrow. We'll be announcing our "Black Friday/Digital Monday" sale. (Basically, if you've thought about getting one of our anthologies but haven't been wanting to spend $1.75 or more, this will be the weekend to get one.)
The free offer is good through 11/28/2011.
Thanks again for your support, and I hope everyone across the U.S. and Americans away from home have a wonderful Thanksgiving with family and friends.

Available now: 'Shanghaied Mitts' by Robert E. Howard
NUELOW Games is proud to present Shanghaied Mitts: More Tales of Sea-faring Boxing Champ Steve Costigan, our follow-on anthology to Fists of Foolishness.
With this book, all 21 of the misadventures of Steve Costigan that were published during the too-short lifetime of his creator, Robert E. Howard, are available in low-cost NUELOW Games editions that are perfect for reading on an iPad or iPod Touch.
These classic short stories about a big-hearted but none-too-bright sailor whose pride in his skills as a boxer gets him into almost as much trouble as his loyalty to his ship-mates and his pet bulldog Mike, include some of the work that Howard produced.
In addition to the 11 stories, the book includes an RPG adventure designed for solo play, or use with "The Violent Worlds of Robert E. Howard" (the game included in Fists of Foolishness) or any version of ROLF!: The Rollplaying Game. Titled "Steve Costigan and the Thief of Youth", this adventure was designed by Steve Miller, co-creator of the ROLF! game and former designer for Wizards of the Coast and other leading game publishers.
As a thank you for visiting the NUELOW Games blog, you can click here to get your copy of Shanghaied Mitts for just $3.00, almost 25% off the regular price.

No posts on any of my blogs this week.
I am having really bad eye trouble. Hopefully, tomorrow's trip to the doctor will start to make things better.
I hope you'll check in at some point in the future.

And now... 'ROLF!: Playwrights and Piledrivers'
It's the battle to settle, once and for all, who gets to claim credit for the Complete Works of William Shakespear! In this corner: Sir Francis Bacon and the Earl of Oxford. In that corner, William Shakespeare and Macho Man Randy Savage!
Return to the world of "Houseboat on the River Styx", as "ROLF!: Playwrights and Piledrivers" pits Elizabethan poets versus Macho Man Randy Savage in a product only slightly less silly than the plot of Roland Emmerich's "Anonymous."
With new Combat Maneuvers, six pre-generated characters (including the Earl of Oxford and Macho Man Randy Savage), and fiction written by Steve Miller (or possibly Sir Francis Bacon... we may never know the truth, but it is a fact that Everything Is Better With Bacon), it's literary conspiracy theory as only NUELOW Games can do!
