Who will win when it's Pirates vs. Fairies?

The latest NUELOW Games release for ROLF!: The Rollplaying Game of Big Dumb Fighters answers the age old question: Who would win in a fight--Pirates or Fairies?

Now you and your game group can discover the answer in ROLF!: Pirates vs. Fairies. For just $0.50, you'll get five pre-generated characters that are ready for battle, never-before-seen Traits to let you make your own ROLF! fairies, and the usual assortment of Combat Maneuvers and Battle Scenarios.

Check it out today! Get yourself ready for International Talk Like a Pirate Day!

UPDATE:
We've been told that the age old question is whether Pirates or Ninjas would win in a fight. Oh well. I guess we're living up to our image as cutting edge by asking a question no one has asked before!! (And for the record, we answered the Pirates vs. Ninjas question in Cap'n Jack on the Isle of Pirate's Doom.)

The Man Who IS Fantasy comes to ROLF!

When the world is threatened by the Cult of Kathulos, only the combined might of the world's foremost fantasy author and man of adventure R.L. McSterlingthong and mad scientist Nikola Tesla can save us!

R.L. McSterlingthong and Nikolai Tesla vs. The Daughter of Skull-Face is a ROLF! supplment that's almost as epic as one R.L. McSterlingthong's novels. With game statistics for McSterlingthong, Tesla, the Daughter of Skull-Face, and Kathulos Cultists, and four linked battle scenarios, it features the same level of realism and careful research you have come to expect from NUELOW Games ever since we released ROLF!: The Death of Osama bin Laden.

 Click here to check out previews of R.L. McSterlingthong and Nikolai Tesla vs. The Daughter of Skull-Face, or to get your own copy for just $0.60, at RPGNow.com. For more on McSterlingthong and his writings, visit his Fan Page, or keep up with his exciting life on his personal Facebook Page.

If you want to catch up on who Kathulos is, and why there's a cult devoted to him, check out Robert E. Howard's Skull-Face.

September 7 is National Buy a Book Day!

Logo by Clifton Hill

Last year, editor Phil Athans declared September 7 National Buy a Book Day--a day where you buy a book from any retailer, in any format, to support writers, publishers, and retailers. And to get yourself some great entertainment as well!

September 7 is back, and so is National Buy a Book Day! We here at NUELOW Games would like YOU to join in the celebration, so to make easy for you, we're discounting all of our fiction collections by 25% for the entire weekend. Even the brand-new, literally just released today Breckinridge Elkins Rides Again by Robert E. Howard is available at a discount!

If we had an art budget....

.... beyond the money we find under the couch cushions when we are at our friends's homes, we would have cool art like this stuff by Jim Steranko in Oriental Stories 3: An American in Afghanistan. That anthology features Robert E. Howard's final great series character Francis X. Gordon, nicknamed El Borak.. These are some great El Borak drawings (whether or not that is who Steranko originally portrayed.).

And then there's this drawing of Black Cat. Of course, if I'd seen it before we produced ROLF!: Bat Meets Cat, I would have given her the Too Sexy for My Shirt Trait.

For more artwork by Steranko, check out this gallery at Shades of Gray.

Stories in six words

There's a legend that Ernest Hemingway was trying to bum a drink of a friend, and that he ultimately succeeded by proving he could write a story in less than ten words. His story was, supposedly, just six words long:

 For Sale: Baby shoes, never worn.

 It's a fun little game to play, but I have to admit that I seem to need seven or eight words at least to make a story I'm happy with. Nonetheless, I'm toying with the idea of including a few super-short Battle Scenarios in upcoming ROLF! scenarios. Does anyone out there have an opinion? Or maybe some less-than-10-word scenarios to contribute? Post 'em below, or send them to us here at NUELOW Games via email. Meanwhile, here are a few of my more successful attempts six-word stories.

  "I'm no Hemingway," his killer said.

  She returned. Emma was soon avenged.

  He rolled the dice and danced.

The joy of writing six word stories!

He's a Monster of Cookies AND a Monster of Rock!

Is this or is it not Cookie Monster performing Survivor's "Eye of the Tiger"?

NUELOW Games: The only RPG publisher covering the GOP convention!

Yep. We're on the cutting edge all right! What other RPG publisher has produced a game supplement to tie in with the Republican National Convention in Tampa, Florida? There isn't one!

And to top it off, we even incorporated the fact that a hurricane is bearing down upon the city! We're not only on the cutting edge... we ARE the cutting edge!

In ROLF!: Mister Freedom vs. Blowhard, Joe Biden (in his secret superhero identity of Mister Freedom) squares off against the villainous Blowhard and his Siren sidekicks in order to save Florida and the Republicans. But will Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan help or hinder him?!
