Available Now: The NUELOW Games Valentine's Day Special!

We here at NUELOW Games have a long history of doing the wrong thing at the wrong time. So, so is it any surprise that our ROLF! Valentine's Day special is more about lust than love, and it centers around two superheroes that virtually no one has heard of and an actress that the world has mostly forgotten.

Click here to get your copy of "Black Kitten vs. June Collyer" for just $0.50, and celebrate Valentine's Day with your beloved game group in a way that is bound to make them say "Whut?"

(Steve Miller, the co-designer of this ROLF! release, has reviewed several of June's movies at the Shades of Grey blog. Click here to check them out.)

This sounds like a ready-made ROLF! Battle Scenario....

Brawn 14, Body 13, Brains 7
Traits: Nimble

THE BATTLE SCENARIO
Calvin Rickson, inventor of the most evil undergarment ever devised by man, is attacked by an angry mob. He must defeat them or suffer a terrible fate.

This Scenario is for 2 players, with one player controlling Calvin and the other controlling the Members of the Angry Mob. There are 10 angry men in the Mob.

1d4 members of the Mob attack Calvin during the first round of combat. 1d4 additional attackers join the fray whenever one of them falls, until all 10 are in the fight.

If Calvin tries to use Run Away! to flee, members of the Mob not yet fighting him attempt to use their Run Away! Combat Maneuver to stop his retreat. If one of them is successful, a new Battle begins, with 1d2 Mob Members fighting him, and the usual 1d4 joining each time one of them falls.

The Battle continues until Calvin or the Angry Mob is defeated.

NEW STUFF
Calvin Rickson's Wonderous Jiggle-free Bra: Armor (Females Only), Absorbs 2 points of Damage. (Can be worn with Clothes, Leggings, Boots, and Hats, but no other kinds of Armor.)

All releases for 2012 dedicated to the memory of E.S. Miller

My mother, Edel Sonja Miller, passed away today. She was 72.

She was a good sport as we used her for jokes in the original releases back in 1993 (the immortal "Fairies!", "Lust and Dust!" and "Horndogs!"). She was more delighted to see the rebirth of NUELOW Games than even myself and L.L. Hundal have been.

Some might say that it's not a sign of respect to devote collections of pulp fiction and sarcastic, cynical, and off-colour cheap-ass game products to the memory of a classy lady who spent her life putting others ahead of herself and who was loved by everyone who met her, but I know that she would appreciate this memorial more than a marble mausoleum.
