March 30, 2023: Zombie Dice 19th Printing!!!

Over the years, hundreds of thousands of copies of Zombie Dice have sold worldwide . . . and now we can report that the 19th printing has landed and is shipping to our distribution partners.

One of our top sellers since it was launched in 2010, Zombie Dice continues to be a favorite with families, with the game's push-your-luck style appealing to players of almost any age. We've also released expansions, accessories, and expanded editions of the game, but that classic version of Zombie Dice continues to be the winner when it comes to time on tables.

If you're unfamiliar with Zombie Dice and want to learn how to play, we recommend checking out this episode of Tabletop. If you're familiar with the game but haven't played in some time, then today is a great day to pull Zombie Dice off of the shelf and teach it to your friends. As always, this makes a fantastic "game before we play . . . [more]

March 29, 2023: GURPS, The Fantasy Trip, And More In Print-On-Demand At DrivethruRPG

We've expanded our print-on-demand offerings quite a bit over the last few years, pushing the GURPS On Demand program to over 100 different titles that you can order right now and receive in print within a matter of weeks. Time and again, one of the biggest benefits of our efforts at building the print-on-demand catalog has been a single thing: how very easy -- and inexpensive! -- it is for gamers across the world to get their hands on these books. With the print-on-demand operations printing books as close to their delivery address as possible, this has reduced the cost of shipping these games. After all, wouldn't you rather most of your gaming budget go to the games themselves and not postage costs?

Recently, we've started releasing more out-of-print and hard-to-find books as print-on-demand titles at DrivethruRPG. You can find the current listing of print-on-demand books available . . . [more]

March 28, 2023: Choose Cthulhu Live On Kickstarter

Choose Cthulhu, the acclaimed solitaire gamebook series of gothic horror, is live on Kickstarter! Six books based on the mythos of H.P. Lovecraft are part of this project, featuring first-person action in a horror setting.

Originally published in Spanish, the Choose Cthulhu series brings some of Lovecraft's most iconic stories to life, with you as the main character. Stories featured include:

The Call of Cthulhu
At the Mountains of Madness
The Shadow Over Innsmouth
The Nameless City
The Dunwich Horror
The Dreams in the Witch House

This is a new realm of interactive horror, and we're excited to bring it stateside for fans of the genre.

The Choose Cthulhu campaign runs through Thursday, April 6. Join your fellow fish-people . . . I mean normal human backers!

March 27, 2023: Munchkin Curses (Fourth Printing!) Now At The Factory

We've published several Munchkin mini-expansions over the years. Ranging in size from 15- to 30-card decks, these tiny supplements to the core Munchkin games bring all sorts of weirdness and fun to the table. From Knights to Princesses to Dragons to Squids, we've covered a wide variety of subjects . . . and several of them have performed well enough to receive multiple printings!

One such set that's back at the factory for more is Munchkin Curses. First released in April of 2017, the expansion has proven popular enough that we've sold through three printings. We hope that we've ordered enough in this latest (fourth) to last a couple of years, but it's impossible to judge demand for many game titles these days. Will we sell 500 or 5,000 units through distribution? It's a roll of the dice! If we get lucky, we're on the 5,000 end of the scale. If we roll poorly . . . . . . [more]

March 26, 2023: Now Available, The Elder Futhark Die

After the success of The Zodiac Die, we decided to expand our library of dice + books with The Elder Futhark Die, a massive 24-sided die you can use with almost any roleplaying game . . . so long as you're imaginative and not afraid to roll the die and make up a story as the randomness of life hits your table.

Cast The Runes! Tell your characters' fortunes or your own - Viking style! This set includes a 24-sided die inscribed with the runes of the Elder Futhark, along with a 20-page book of rune lore to help you interpret them. Make your predictions - it's a game and a history lesson all in one!

The Elder Futhark Die is available today at your favorite local game store. If you don't have a local store, then you can always find this – and our other dice, accessories, and complete games – at the Steve Jackson Games online store, Warehouse 23. Check out the dice in our store today!
