May 31, 2023: "Illuminati Jewelry" From 1989 . . . Now At Warehouse 23!

We're bringing back some of the Illuminati pins that you've been asking about for years.

You can order them today at our online store, Warehouse 23, and you can even enjoy the original article from 1989 if you wish. I've reprinted the 1989 announcement, below, but please remember that this is merely historical information and we are not currently offering these pins to distributors.

Please note the $3.50 price mentioned in the ancient (1989) ad below. That was in 1989 dollars, which is roughly the equivalent of $8.47 in today's dollars. What do we actually charge for these today? Only $4.50. You can order your pin here!

May 30, 2023: Tribes On Kickstarter

We have activated the pre-launch page for the Kickstarter campaign for the second edition of Tribes.

In Tribes, you and your fellow players (4 to 8, plus an optional referee) will become cave men and women, facing the challenges of survival in a prehistoric world. Hunt and gather food, craft the basic tools you need, establish tribal laws, and deal with natural disasters, all while protecting and caring for your most precious resource: your children. The goal is simple but vital – have the most children who live to grow up! You have to put your offspring first, but a strong tribe benefits everyone too . . . balancing cooperation and self-preservation is the key.

So it's very much a competitive/cooperative situation.

Along with Dr. David Brin, author of the Uplift series and a whole lot of other excellent SF, I designed this game many years ago (not quite in the Paleolithic, but close). . . . [more]

May 29, 2023: Crowdfunding Focus: Life-Sized Dino Figures

Do you want life-sized dinosaur models?

. . . is that even a question?

Limelight Miniatures, whose excellent work is featured in our upcoming Foes 2 collection, has 3D printable dinosaur models on Kickstarter, in – you guessed it – 1:1 scale. Naturally, they're some of the smallest species, and they come pre-hollowed and ready to print in pieces. This is not something I've seen anyone do before. And the results are spectacular.

This painted life-size Anchiornis huxleyi was done by Andy's Dinosaur Reviews on YouTube. Watch his full review here.

You get a Cartorhynchus, Anchiornis huxleyi, Epidexipteryxhui, baby Archaeoceratops, Falcatus falcatus (yes, he knows it's a shark), and Nemicolopterus, an adorable pterosaur, each in several poses. They have nicely scupted bases that include the name and time period. It makes me want to start my own museum!

There are 30 models . . .

May 27, 2023: Munchkin Zombies Deluxe Returns In August!

Don't pay those high after-market prices for Munchkin Zombies Deluxe, gang! After being out-of-print for some time, we're happy to report that we're bringing Munchkin Zombies Deluxe back to the land of available games. This fourth printing has everything that you and your friends need to eat brains, gain levels, and win!

It's the sickest, silliest Munchkin yet! You are zombies, kicking down doors and eating brains. The ""monsters"" you're attacking are people, some helpless and some hazardous, with a few rogue zombies thrown in. The armor is whatever you've blundered across during your lurching search for brains. So bravely you'll go forth, with mousetraps on your feet and a bowling trophy protecting your poor rotting head . . . to level up, or to die.
