| Dungeons & Dragons co-creator dies at 69 |
|
|
|
By EMILY FREDRIX, Associated Press Writer 1 hour, 32 minutes ago
MILWAUKEE - Gary Gygax, who co-created the fantasy game Dungeons & Dragons and helped start the role-playing phenomenon, died Tuesday morning at his home in Lake Geneva. He was 69.
He had been suffering from health problems for several years, including an abdominal aneurysm, said his wife, Gail Gygax.
Gygax and Dave Arneson developed Dungeons & Dragons in 1974 using medieval characters and mythical creatures. The game known for its oddly shaped dice became a hit, particularly among teenage boys, and eventually was turned into video games, books and movies.
Gygax always enjoyed hearing from the game's legion of devoted fans, many of whom would stop by the family's home in Lake Geneva, about 55 miles southwest of Milwaukee, his wife said. Despite his declining health, he hosted weekly games of Dungeons & Dragons as recently as January, she said.
"It really meant a lot to him to hear from people from over the years about how he helped them become a doctor, a lawyer, a policeman, what he gave them," Gygax said. "He really enjoyed that."
Dungeons & Dragons players create fictional characters and carry out their adventures with the help of complicated rules. The quintessential geek pastime, it spawned a wealth of copycat games and later inspired a whole genre of computer games that's still growing in popularity.
Funeral arrangements are pending. Besides his wife, Gygax is survived by six children.

 Fantasy Flight Games to Exclusively Publish Board Games, Card Games, and Roleplaying Games based on Games Workshop properties.
Second deal to include Sabertooth Games' Universal Fighting System CCG
Roseville, Minnesota (February 22, 2008) – Fantasy Flight Games (“FFG”) and Games Workshop (“GW”) jointly announced today that they have reached an agreement for Fantasy Flight Games to become the exclusive publisher of board games, card games (including collectible card games), and roleplaying games based on Games Workshop’s family of renowned intellectual properties including Warhammer Fantasy Battles and Warhammer 40,000. Additionally, the deal will grant FFG the exclusive rights to publish new versions of the classic board and card games titles published by Games Workshop over the last 25 years.
Additionally, a second agreement between the parties will transfer the publication rights and system of the Universal Fighting System CCG, formerly published by Sabertooth Games, to FFG.
“We are just so thrilled to partner with Games Workshop in such an encompassing deal,” said Christian T. Petersen, CEO and founder of FFG. “Not only will we be able to continue the publication of some phenomenal roleplaying, card, and board games currently on the market, but we look forward to creating new games for the popular GW universes!”
"In Fantasy Flight Games, we’ve found a partner who shares our passion for gaming and our dedication to producing the highest quality products,” said Andy Jones, Head of Legal and Licensing for Games Workshop. “The legacy of our board, card, and roleplaying games is in the best possible hands with them, and we are extremely excited about the prospects of seeing some fabulous new games set in our universes as well. ”
"
This is the beginning of an exciting new era for the Universal Fighting System," said Stephen Horvath, CEO of Sabertooth Games. “Fantasy Flight Games are the perfect choice to carry on the UFS line, and fans can expect great new content and more fantastic events supporting their favorite CCG going forward.
FFG will take over the production of Talisman, and plan to produce a new printing and expansions for the 4th edition of this ever-popular classic board game. Further, FFG will continue production and new-product support for the Universal Fighting System CCG, the Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay RPG, and the new smash-hit Dark Heresy RPG. More details on FFG’s publication plans for these titles will be provided in the weeks to come.
The agreement does not include certain GW titles in which miniatures feature as the predominant component of the game, such as Space Hulk and Blood Bowl.
The Universal Fighting System CCG will continue to be sold as starter and booster packs in a traditional CCG format. FFG has no current plans to adopt the game to its LCG™ (“Living Card Game”) sales model.

 Here's a press release from Privateer Press for those of you who play WARMACHINE and HORDES.
Privateer Press™, Inc. announces the next two expansions for WARMACHINE®.
Seattle, WA. August 13, 2007 - Privateer Press, Inc. announces the next two expansions for the award-winning tabletop miniatures game, WARMACHINE.

Forces of WARMACHINE: Pirates of the Broken Coast™ is scheduled to release in early December and comprises 72 pages of new fiction, new model stats, and several outstanding full-color art pieces by artist Andrea Uderzo. In addition to compiling the previously released Mercenary Privateer models, this book introduces new mercenary warcasters, warjacks, units, and solos for expanding armies of every faction and rules for building pirate-themed armies. Models featured in this book release in December, January, and February. More details and previews will appear in No Quarter issue 15, releasing this November.
Shortly following the release of Forces of WARMACHINE: Pirates of the Broken Coast, Privateer Press will release the fifth full installment of the current WARMACHINE storyline that begun in WARMACHINE: Prime Remix™ and continued in the award-winning works Escalation™, Apotheosis™, and Superiority™.
WARMACHINE: Legends™ brings the saga of WARMACHINE to an electrifying climax and provides exciting new options in the form of new warcasters, warjacks, units, solos, and epic warcasters. The book provides all new options for every faction and focuses on the characters, warjacks, and units that have attained legendary status in the world of WARMACHINE. WARMACHINE: Legends™ will release at Gen Con Indy 2008, and previews will begin in No Quarter Magazine #16, available in January.

Today, Saturday June 23rd is Free RPG Day up at Warzone Matrix. Make sure you take a few minutes out of your busy day to head up to the 'Zone and pick up something for free, and hopefully a few things that aren't free as well. :)
There's actually a good selection of freebies up here but of course when they're gone they're gone so you should do your best to make it up here as quickly as possible.
