Warehouse 23 News: Mosquitoes And Man-Cows
A Swarm of Stirges is everything there is to know about stirges; where they come from, what they do, and (most importantly) how to kill them. Maze of the Minotaur gives much the same treatment to another classic monster, as well as introducing the yin to the minotaur's yang: the minotrice.
April 29, 2005: GURPS Magic Spell Charts – Brand New And Totally Free!
One of the most popular game aids we did for GURPS was the spell prerequisite charts, showing the exact (and sometimes very complex) relationships between spells. Even as we were working on GURPS Magic, we knew we wanted to do a set of charts for the new edition. We also knew it wouldn't be easy.
But after months of exacting work, ex-Warehouse 23 Goddess Michelle Barrett has come through with GURPS Magic Spell Charts, free in PDF form on e23! The charts are totally updated for GURPS Fourth Edition, of course, and not only reduce the work required to determine the prerequisites for a spell, but also reveal the underlying organization of the colleges. For each college, they show how far one can progress at each level of Magery; which spells are central prerequisites for most of the other spells in the college; and how much overlap there is with other colleges. The simple, open format allows for further customization. Color the boxes to show which spells a mage knows and instantly see which ones he is eligible to learn.
And are you ready for the best part? It's FREE! Consider it a test drive of the e23 system with a nifty game aid as a payoff, courtesy of Steve Jackson Games. Have fun!

Warehouse 23 News: Who Says Being Single-Celled Is Boring?
Just because you're an amoeba doesn't mean you don't have much to do. On the contrary, there's eating, dividing, and . . . did we mention eating? Okay, so it is pretty boring. Thankfully, there's Primordial Soup, the surprisingly exciting game of amazingly dull organisms.
We are advised that toads in Germany are exploding. Read the BBC story.. There is no sense in which this can be considered good news, except, of course, for the fact that it gives me something to write about, and you something to read.

Warehouse 23 News: The Knights Who Say "Chibi"
Marked by an enormous head, tiny body, and ridiculous catch phrases, it's the Plush Knight of Ni. And who better to argue with the Knight than Plush King Arthur? Now you can reenact the famous scene from the movie! Only much smaller. And without Sir Bedivere.
April 27, 2005: GURPS Casey & Andy – Brand New For GURPS Fourth Edition!
Just Released – GURPS Casey & Andy, new for GURPS Fourth Edition and now for sale on e23!
GURPS Casey & Andy is based on Andy Weir's hilarious webcomic Casey & Andy, found on the Web at www.galactanet.com/comic/index.htm. The title characters are 21st-century mad scientists dabbling in time and dimension travel, instantaneous cloning, and increasingly complex apocalyptic doomsday devices. Apart from that, they live in suburbia with their girlfriends, Mary and Satan. Yes, that Satan.
GURPS Casey & Andy is also a complete GURPS Fourth Edition sourcebook available only in PDF form, exclusively on e23 at e23.sjgames.com! Casey & Andy is written by David Morgan-Mar, who knows a thing or two about webcomics with his own Irregular Webcomic, and certainly knows about writing for e23. It also features tons of Casey & Andy art by webcomic creator Andy Weir, including an original four-page story just for this PDF!

Warehouse 23 News: Fang And Fur And Felt
Normally, the multi-headed, venom-spewing hydra is something to be afraid of. As are ravenous, bloodthirsty werewolves. Toy Vault pushes these stereotypes aside and presents the cuddly Plush Hydra and Plush Werewolf! The Plush Bag-O-Bones is also available, and it is marginally more cuddly than an actual skeleton.
Sony Electronics has recently been granted a patent for beaming sensory information directly into the brain. They hope to create video games which you can smell, taste, and touch.
You can read the Reuters story here, where a Sony spokeswoman admitted that they haven't had any successful experiments yet. The patent "was based on an inspiration that this may someday be the direction that technology will take us." In other words, their mind control lasers are still just smoke and mirrors, but they have a patent now. Fnord.
Dragons are often described as "ancient, lizard-like beings of unfathomable power." Men are often described as "dragon food." Yet, the occasional star-crossed coupling produces a half-dragon, a creature determined to shake the heavens. And the GM's sanity. Fear not, good GM, and have a look at The Complete Guide to Dragonkin.
Sten was one of the buyers in the Super Munchkin card auction. He made his payment on time . . . and dropped off the face of the earth. Neither e-mails nor an actual physical letter in the U.S. mail have gotten a response to the question "OK, what character do you want to be?"
John Kovalic has almost finished the illustrations. Sten, if we hear from you within the next week, we'll get you in. After that, it'll be too late, and we'll just have to work you into another set. Please phone our office at 512-447-7866.

Warehouse 23 News: It's A Sourcebook! It's A Magazine!
It's The Rifter #29, Palladium's periodical of potent play aids. Please, partake of this pleasant publication. Perplex your players with a plethora of perilous pitfalls pulled from this paperback.
I continue to have way too much fun with the Chaos Machine. For those who haven't heard, this is a large collection of the Chaos educational building set, which I take to conventions and, with the help of anybody who feels like helping, build a HUGE NOISY THING.
The Chaos Machine is at Penguicon this weekend . . . but I'm not. The designated Chaos wrangler there is none other than the Master of Schlock, Howard Tayler. Howard encountered Chaos at last year's Linucon and got hooked. He is now the only person, other than me, who is officially allowed to take this THING to conventions. (So, note: if you want a really cool guest who can discuss webcomics and modern computer technology with equal facility, AND who brings this Cool Noisy Thing along, talk to Howard.)
The next Chaos outing will be over Memorial Day. I will be at Marcon, in Columbus, with the Machine. Also with a lot of game stuff, including just-released copies of SPANC and a sneak preview of Super Munchkin. So come see me!
The trip after that will probably be across town to Austin, for the 2005 edition of Linucon. And with any luck, Howard will be there too!

Warehouse 23 News: In The Year 2060 . . .
Man is still alive, and he is very well armed. Magic has returned to the world. Technology spirals upward at an increasing rate. The corporations own everything. The wilderness has a mind of its own. Then there's you, a skilled mercenary just trying to make it to your next cup of soycaf. Welcome to The Sixth World, chummer. Welcome to Shadowrun.

Roleplaying is a lot like being an actor, only without all the substance abuse, interpersonal drama, and money. Well, okay, without the money. Now Playing combines tabletop roleplaying with syndicated television. You can fight evil cyborgs in space, battle ancient Greek gods, or outrun the sheriff in your Dodge Charger.
April 22, 2005: Illuminated Site of the Week: This Sounds Like A Great Idea
Crank Dot Net offers itself up as a clearinghouse for strange and esoteric information. Want a weird website on Planet X or the Loch Ness Monster? Crank can hook you up. Of course, so could we. If you want. Not that we care. Go there if you like. We'll just sit here. In the dark. With our secrets.

Warehouse 23 News: Ancient Horror With Modern Sensibilities
The Internet. Microwave pizza. Unspeakable demons? Beyond the Supernatural is a game of modern horror, pitting the people of today against the terrors of millennia past. They're powerful, they're angry, and they don't care that your cell phone can take pictures.
Wednesday night I got to do something fun and interesting. I had the privilege of acting as a judge for the STS Game Court at the University of Texas. Four teams competed. The goals were:
Create a game concept that defies the violent and sexist themes that stereotype many popular digital games. The winning team will be the one that presents a digital game concept that incorporates blue-sky thinking, changes the rules of play, is fun, and yet, is socially redeeming (e.g. involves art, education, exercise, music, humor, relationships, etc.).
Your presentation should include the following: Introduction, Background, Description, Key Features, Genre, Platform(s), Concept Art, Market Analysis, Technical Analysis, Legal Analysis, Resource Analysis, Cost and Revenue Projections. But exclude gratuitous violence, sex, sexual stereotypes, nudity, and profanity."
I was somewhat cynical about the odds of anyone coming up with something that was playable, marketable, and sufficiently socially redeeming and politically correct. I was pleasantly surprised, and had a great time listening to the presentations and talking to the other judges, drawn from the Austin game community and the UT faculty.

Warehouse 23 News: The Last, Tiniest Hope For Peace
Hauling around a full size rulebook isn't always practical. Enter the Babylon 5 RPG Pocket Edition. All the rules in a size a Ranger could appreciate. Speaking of the Anla'shok, The Rangers has more info than you could pry from the mind of Ranger One. Speaking of psionics, The Psi Corps tells you all about the Earth Alliance's most dangerous organization.
A police department in Arizona is looking for a grant to train a capuchin monkey for their SWAT team. Capuchins are highly intelligent and sociable and are often trained to aid paraplegics. Tiny, with dextrous hands and good climbing skills, the theory is that the monkey would make an excellent scout and camera-carrier. See the CNN story.
Warehouse 23 News: Discover Your Past To Save Your Future
When the forces of darkness begin their shadowy descent on the world, the only thing between humanity and the abyss is you. The good news is that you are an ancient and rather powerful dragon. The bad news is that you don't remember you're a dragon. Unlock your mythical roots with Fireborn: The Fire Within.
April 19, 2005: Matt And Igor Should Move There
Yes, Virginia, there is a Dork Street. Read the CNN story, which advises us that ". . . residents believe it was named after someone called Dork."
Gee, you think?
Warehouse 23 News: Evil Is Afoot In Redwood Forest!
And not just feet, either. Evil has hands, too. Legs and arms are probably a safe assumption. Oh, and a gaping maw. These sorts of things always have a gaping maw. For the rest of the evil's anatomical details, check out Blackmoor: The Redwood Scar.
Steve Jackson Games announces for release in August, 2005:
GURPS Traveller: Interstellar Wars
The transition between the First Imperium, governed by the Vilani, and the
Rule of Man, led by the Terran Confederation, has always been a pivotal era in
Marc Miller's Traveller universe. Now,
for the first time in any game system,
Traveller players can explore the depths
of this rich setting.
GURPS Traveller: Interstellar Wars covers
the 200 years of war, peace, and
overwhelming change as the ancient Vilani Imperium falls to the upstart
Terrans. In this time of conflict, the opportunities for adventure are more
exciting
than ever before! Forge new trade routes within the Imperium itself. Defend the
homeworld from invaders during the Siege of Terra. Make first contact with
alien races.
Help guide the Terran Confederation in its expansion from a single planet to a
sector-spanning empire.
GURPS Traveller: Interstellar Wars is an
official GURPS Fourth Edition
sourcebook for the Traveller universe. It
includes a detailed timeline, along with
rules for tailoring characters to the last days of the First Imperium, starship
design,
interstellar trade, exploration, and ship-to-ship combat.
Warehouse 23 News: Take A Walk On The Wild Side
Living in the trees isn't just for elves any more! Learn the ways of the tough, forest-dwelling, animal-taming Haltan people with Exalted: Kingdom of Halta. The view is always great in Halta. Provided you can stand the smell, of course . . .
As reported last Saturday, some of us got to see a handy firefighting gadget in the hands of the guys from Truck 35. We described the gadget, which allows firefighters to see through smoke to the source of a fire, as "nifty."
Turns out, the U.S. Navy's version of the gadget goes by the title "Naval Firefighting Thermal Imager," or "NFTI" -- pronounced "nifty" -- for short.
Thanks to Mark "Geo" Gelinas, MTC/SS, U.S. Navy (Retired), for the heads-up!
Warehouse 23 News: Ditch The Tux And Grab The BDUs
Tired of sneaking into orbiting space stations? Looking to take your spies out of the secret labs and into the jungle? Spycraft: Battlegrounds drops your operatives in a number of different real world backdrops to fight the good fight. It also includes a slew of new rules for vehicles and equipment.
I got several interesting responses to the "no more red ink" story . . . Names withheld, of course. A couple of the best ones:
"My wife's school district refused to publish the names of honor roll students because it would make the non-honor roll students feel bad."
Or, for another approach, "The school has special awards, but every student has to receive a special award and they make up awards. [They] modified their honor roll rules: (1) Only students with a 3.3 GPA or higher are honor roll students. (2) All students with a 3.25-3.29 GPA will be rounded
up to 3.3."
And I was sent a link to this very interesting Scientific American article which systematically examines and dismisses a number of the claims of the cult of self-esteem, concluding ". . . we have found little to indicate that indiscriminately promoting self-esteem in today's children or adults, just for being themselves, offers society any compensatory benefits beyond the seductive pleasure it brings to those engaged in the exercise."

Knock! Knock! Who's there? Clocktowers. Clocktowers who? The Clocktowers that's sharing this news piece with Knock! Knock! Hmm. Maybe that joke needs some work . . .
April 15, 2005: Illuminated Site of the Week: The Last Web Page You'll Ever Need
Better men have tried, all have failed (unless the dolphins pulled a fast one and we didn't notice). Wiping out our planet (not "all life on it," mind you) isn't as easy as summer blockbusters would have you believe. It's a daunting task, but if you think you've got the Wrong Stuff, Sam's Archive will help you avoid common missteps as you learn How to destroy the Earth. -- From multiple submissions
Warehouse 23 News: It's A Kind Of Magic
In fact, it's every kind of magic. Hero System: Ultimate Mystic is the definitive guide to using the arcane arts in your Hero System campaigns. Scribble a few new spells in your wizard's scrolls or slap a few enchantments on that Colt .45 your detective carries. The choice is yours. Make the book yours, too.
Sometimes we think the Pentagon has a copy of GURPS Ultra-Tech and is mining it for ideas . . . Now they're asking for proposals on a remote battlefield "trauma center." Okay, it's not actually a true autodoc, but it's the first step. It is intended to be teleoperated . . . it acts as remote hands and tools for a surgeon who might be on the other side of the world. Read the Washington Times story.
Warehouse 23 News: Impress Your Friends!
Sure, you want to be like the rest of the Cool Kids and have row upon row of elegantly painted metal adorning your gaming table. The problem is, well, you're short on time or talent and . . . frankly, you don't even know where or how to start. That's a thing of the past with the Pro Paints: Non-Metallic Metal beginner's painting kit.
"People of the United States! We are Unitarian Jihad! We can strike without warning. Pockets of reasonableness and harmony will appear as if from nowhere!"
Jon Carroll, in the San Francisco Chronicle, has the whole story.
Warehouse 23 News: Light Up The Night With The Fires Of Rebellion
Eredane lays in ruin, conquered by the dark lord Izrador. Grab your sword, hero. Midnight: Steel and Shadow gives you the tools and tricks you need for the fight. Midnight: Forge of Shadow lays out the enemy's greatest vulnerability. There's never been a better time to strike back.
We are thrilled to announce that e23's first full-length original GURPS book, GURPS Mysteries, is now available.
Mysteries is the result of much perseverance and hard work on the part of author Lisa Steele, who also wrote GURPS Cops. We almost published this book last fall, but then we realized that by the time e23 was actually up and running, GURPS Fourth Edition would be out – so Lisa went back and updated the entire manuscript, and now Mysteries is also our first GURPS Fourth Edition supplement on e23! We hope you'll take a look at the free preview pages (pdf) and, if you like what you see, pick up a copy.
Warehouse 23 News: Putting the "Cheer" Back In Cheerlessness
Acquiring riches, having grand adventures, becoming powerful. . . none of these are goals in Gloom. In fact, quite the opposite is true: the only way to be a winner is to be a complete loser. Drive your family to the absolute edge of despair while simultaneously cheering up your enemies. What fun!
How'd you like to be handcuffed and dragged to jail because you made a payment in U.S. currency?
I don't think much of people who respond to casual annoyances by filing suit, but this is no casual annoyance. If the story is really as presented below, Mr. Bolesta should see both Best Buy and his local police department in court.
Though it truly is amazing how many adult U.S. citizens can't recognize a $2 bill as money. Years ago, I was at a convention in the Northwest, and my host had a pocket full of $2 bills with which he thought he was going to buy us dinner. It took three tries to find a restaurant that would accept them . . . but nobody tried to arrest us.
See the World Net Daily story.
-- Steve Jackson
Rules for space stations? Brand new scenarios? Stats for Captain John Sheridan? Or perhaps an entire Shadow fleet? All this and more is available in Babylon 5: A Call to Arms Rules Supplement 1 and Rules Supplement 2. And they can be yours. For a price . . .
April 10, 2005: GURPS Vehicle Builder Update 2 for Third Edition Now Available!
The long-awaited GURPS Vehicle Builder Update 2 for Third Edition is now available for download. Registered users can access this update from the Vehicle Builder Update Page. If you do not own a copy of the Vehicle Builder, you can order it on CDROM from Warehouse 23 or you can directly purchase a download from e23.
The big feature in this new update is the dynamic performance profiles. Instead of the fixed list of performance profiles, you can add as many as you would like to each vehicle. Now GVB can properly display performance profiles for a aircraft with a full weapons load, partial load, or empty, each with afterburners on or off. We've even opened the performance profiles so you can create your own.
In addition to the dynamic performance profiles, we've added a dozen other minor updates and bug fixes, made 50 fixes to the repositories, and added 65 new and updated example vehicles.
Warehouse 23 News: He Who Casts The First Stone Wins
You've tried talking. You've tried reasoning. You've tried cajoling. Now, it's time to try something that actually works. The Schlock Mercenary: Rule #27 Shirt serves as good reminder that senseless violence is the better part of valor.
Around noon on Friday, the guys in Production complained of smelling smoke. Sticking our heads outside, we indeed saw smoke -- and it was coming from our balcony!
A stray cigarette butt had ignited a plastic lawn chair, filling the area with noxious smoke. The fire department was called, but Jerry and Nathan had already fire extinguisher'ed the mini-blaze to death. Austin Fire Department's Truck 35 showed up in just minutes, and pronounced our offices safe.
One of the tools they used was a nifty infrared sensor (the red video camera-sized gadget seen here). It pinpoints any source of heat, allowing the user to target the center of a fire. And since it operates on infared, it ignores smoke entirely. Helmet-mounted models are available, and are especially useful for entering burning buildings. Both cost around $8,000, so we appreciated a chance to check out their toy!
Warehouse 23 News: Every Journey Begins With A Single Schlep
For the first time outside Dragon Magazine, the Nodwick Adventure Log Volume 1 collects the classic comic strips that would define everyone's favorite henchman: Nodwick. If you find your sides start splitting, don't worry. Piffany's got plenty of duct tape. Nodwick #27 is also available for the latest of the greatest.
April 8, 2005: Illuminated Site of the Week: You Can Just Call Him TJ
The Second Coming has arrived, and his name is Ted Jesus Christ GOD. He's got some great ideas for bunkers, should he ever become president, and he calls them Ted Jesus Christ GOD Deep Underground Eco Enclosed Cities. He'll tell you at great length about what he thinks is evil and wicked (unless you're a "child Human," in which case, no kidding, some of his photo albums aren't fit for viewing). His philosophy is similarly difficult to encapsulate, and his prophecies stretch a billion years into the future, if you think you'll be around for a Third or Fourth Coming. -- Suggested by Eric Newsom
Warehouse 23 News: Give In To Your Hate
Journey to the most hostile of environments and surround yourself with people who wish nothing more than to do you grievous harm. No, not high school. We're talking about EverQuest: Plane of Hate. With stats for every inhabitant of the realm, it's everything you never wanted to know about the place you never wanted to go.
GURPS Fourth Edition has over 150 advantages, over 200 disadvantages, and over 250 skills! How can a GM communicate which traits are vital to his campaign, and which will be just a waste of points?
Try our Trait Sorter. This free online feature creates customized lists of which advantages, disadvantages, and skills your players should take, and which ones aren't allowed at all. No more cavemen with Tenure, or astronauts who forgot to take Freefall! No more fantasy characters with high-tech skills! No more IOU characters with Common Sense!

Warehouse 23 News: The Saga Continues
Packed with all the usual humor of Dork Tower (plus a few sweet extras), The Dork Side of the Goon is cover to cover laughs for gamers, geeks, nerds, and muskrats. This book contains issues 25-29 of Dork Tower. It does not, however, sync up with The Wizard of Oz. Hey, nothing's perfect.
April 6, 2005: Political Correctness In The Classroom
Teachers are being pressured to give up red ink because it intimidates the students. Green and purple are friendlier. But basically, we just need to recognize that criticism, regardless of the color, hurts their feelings and upsets their parents. No kidding. Read the CNN story.

Warehouse 23 News: Horrify The One You Love
Few things say "love" quite like the pink, fleshy, malleable lump of feline known as Choo-Choo Bear. The Something Positive: Choo-Choo Heart Shirts aren't just a way to show your affection, they can also be used to frighten off your enemies.
Steve Jackson Games announces for release in July, 2005:
Super Munchkin
Fly through the city. Smash the villains. Backstab your teammates and grab their gadgets.

and the creatures of the night. Now, it’s the superheroes’ turn!
Be a Mutant, an Exotic, a Mystic, or a Techno. The higher your Level,
the more Powers you can have. Battle dastardly masterminds, devastating
monsters, and invading aliens from the next dimension – from the wimpy

and TAKE THEIR STUFF! With the Aura Helmet, the Telezapinator, and the
(jet-powered) Pogo Stick, no foe can stand before you.
Super Munchkin is a stand-alone game, which (of course) can be combined

Warehouse 23 News: GM, What Is Good In Life?
To crush your players, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of the dice! To do this, however, you're gonna need more than just a core book. The Road of Kings lays out the world of Conan for all to see, while Shadizar - City of Wickedness delves into the most famous hive of scum and villainy in Conan's world.
At 10am Sunday, our provider, Birch Telecom, suffered a beaut of an outage, affecting Austin, Houston, and other parts of Texas. We didn't get our service restored until almost 6pm. We had similar problems for about an hour very early Saturday morning. But we seem to be fine now. Apologies to those who tried to reach us and couldn't!
Warehouse 23 News: You Will Enjoy These Fine Supplements

Looking to make your superhero game a little . . . darker? It doesn't get much grittier than black and white, and Mutants & Masterminds: Noir is as monochromatic as they come. Trenchcoat heroes and super femme fatales duke it out with the forces of darkness in the back alleys of the 1930s.
