New fiction collection from NUELOW Games!

The Misadventures of Breckinridge Elkins is the latest addition to NUELOW Games's ongoing exploration of the lesser-known works of the great Robert E. Howard.

This time, Robert E. Howard Collection-series editor Steve Miller offers an assortment of Howard's madcap humor tales from the wildest corner of the wild west... stories Howard wrote late in his career that were written as much for love as they were for money.

If you enjoyed Shanghaied Mitts or Fists of Foolishness, you'll be laughing out loud at The Misadventures of Breckinridge Elkins.

Even L.L. Hundal, who is usually lukewarm toward Howard's writings, loves the Breckinridge Elkins stories!

A new RPG for you to look into

Hello, friends and gamers!

When you're not playing ROLF! or some other thing from NUELOW Games, maybe the good folks over at Mythos Arcanum Games can help fill the rest of your time.

Click here to check out their website.

I'm sure you'll notice that they're a far more professional-looking outfit that we have ever been! But I hope you will still love us for the raggamuffins that we are!

(We have no affiliation with Mythos Arcanum... we just felt like giving them a plug.)

MercyMe & the Cover Tune Grab Bag!

Artist Todd Lockwood inadvertently took a step to make sure no work will be done at NUELOW Games today: He pointed us to videos by MercyMe, perhaps the wackiest live cover band ever! (They may replace the Ukele Orchestra of the UK as our dream house band for when we Hit It Big.)

Here are few of my favorite MercyMe videos (so far):



"Epic" is the only word to describe this video!


Greatest "Eye of the Tiger" cover ever?


The theme song for "The Return of the King" (in ROLF!: Christmas Special II) and ROLF!: Creature Feature:


And the award for Best Use of Random Headgear by a Cover Band goes to MercyMe.


Somewhere, Jon Bon Jovi wondered why a chill ran down his spine....


And one final one, because L.L. Hundal will either love me or kill me for this (given that she has been known to dance around and sing like a lunatic to the original version):

ROLF!: The Final Battle (#1 - #6)

Back in December, we announced that we would be releasing a "Final Battle" for ROLF! every month this year... until the Mayan-predicted End of the World came upon us. (And it's gotta happen this year, right? New-Age Profiteers and Doomsday Cultists have to be right that the end of the Mayan calendar portends the end of the world, right? I mean... the calendar on my kitchen wall ends on December 31, 2012, too! So someone must have it right--either the Wise Ancients or the makers of the Cats calendar.)

And with all the confusion about exactly when the world would end, for all we know it could come sooner. It could come now. Or now. Or perhaps now. Or maybe next week.

Well, no matter what, we're past the halfway mark of 2012, and we're still here! To celebrate (and by request from a couple ROLF! players) we offer this listing of "Final Battles" so you can make sure you have them all and make sure that you're the proud owner of one of the last-ever releases from NUELOW Games.

FINAL BATTLE #1: THE GRIM REAPER vs. THE FERTILITY GODDESS -- It's the Mayan goddess Ix-Chel and Chuck Norris teaming up to fight Death Itself. This product introduced rules for making god-like characters in ROLF!

FINAL BATTLE #2: GEORGE WASHINGTON CARVER AND THE NUTS OF DOOM -- Only George Washington Carver, Master of Peanuts, can stop a broken-hearted mad scientist from destroying humanity by turning all women into ugly, stupid men. This product was both a Final Battle and a sequel to Black Kitten vs. June Collyer.

FINAL BATTLE #3: ESCAPE FROM EDEN -- When time-traveling Eco-Terrorists go to the Garden of Eden with the intent of killing Eve, only one man can stop them and save us all: Snake Plisskin. More thrilling than any John Carpenter film... more epic than any Cecil B. DeMille movie! Never has the story of Genesis been told in such a dramatic fashion!

FINAL BATTLE #4: THE DEATH OF ADOLF HITLER -- Time-traveling Nazi super-soldiers seek to stop a time-traveling Chuck Norris from killing Adolf Hitler. Only The Most Interesting Man in the World can save history (by time-traveling). Featuring the historic first-ever team-up between Chuck Norris and The Most Interesting Man in the World.

FINAL BATTLE #5: MAD SCIENTISTS GONE WILD! -- The air is thick with death rays when love-starved mad scientists battle over the heart of Dr. Floss, the prettiest woman to ever seek world domination. This product introduced rules for making death ray guns to ROLF!

FINAL BATTLE #6: POTS vs. PANS -- The final showdown between the pure-hearted heroes of PANS and the dastardly villains of POTS. This product introduced rules for making superheroes to ROLF!

Will there be a Final Battle #7? Only the Ancient Wise Mayans knew for sure! But if we're still around, it will be released in early August.
