No, it's not the most ill-advised crossover ever, just another roundup of Hex-related goodness to be found on the internet. First off, Berin Kinsman (aka Uncle Bear ) has posted a short review of Laser Pones at Drivethrurpg and a more in-depth review at Examiner.com .
In other news, even though it's currently out of print (though we are working on the 2nd edition), it's nice to hear that a few people remember M-Force. The All Games Considered folks gave it a brief mention in their November 17th podcast (episode #118). If you want more M-Force goodness, The Gutter Skypes have aired the first session of Blindgeek's M-Force Skype game (in which Hex artist and writer Joshua LH Burnett happens to be a player).
Tired of Eurocentric fantasy role-playing games? Broaden your horizons with Mountains of the Moon: Sindbad in East Africa, the first supplement to Hex Games’ The Adventures of Sindbad RPG.
Join Sindbad and his crew as they sail to the fabulous lands of East Africa. Mountains of the Moon gives you everything you need for swashbuckling adventure on the Dark Continent, including historical background, maps, new monsters, and the complete adventure “Sindbad and the Monkey King.”
Mountains of the Moon uses QAGS, the Quick Ass Game System. The QAGS Qik Start Rules are available online as a free PDF, and are also included in The Adventures of Sindbad. The Adventures of Sindbad and QAGS Second Edition are available in both print and PDF forms. Mountains of the Moon is currently available only as a PDF, and can be purchased at www.hexgames.com, as well as the finer PDF sales sites.
Mountains of the Moon is written by Hex’s in-house authority on all things Sindbadish, Ian Engle, and illustrated by the multi-talented Joshua LH Burnett.
Just finished uploading photos from Archon 2009, including several shots from the wildly popular Laser Ponies game (including a pic of the character sheets, complete with personalized ponies). We realize that Archon was a while ago (October), but we were holding off on the photos becasue we thought our old pal Gunther Oszloo was going to write a con report for the Death Cookie and we'd use the pictures there. Unfortunately, Gunther had to undergo surgery for complications resulting from an old kickboxing injury and was not able to write the report. We are happy to report, though, that Gunther is expected to make a complete recovery. Get well soon, Gunther!
The Quilt City Ogres have reviewed another Hex product, this time The Book of Dumb Tables. You can read the review here.
Also, we've spent the last couple of days fixing problems with the web site, including the forums, the Wiki, and some broken links. We think we go everything working correctly again, but if we missed anything let us know in the forums .
The folks over at The Ogre Lair Times (the blog of the Quilt City Ogres) have posted a mini-review of Laser Ponies . Check it out.
Laser Ponies also got some air time on Episode 14 of the Happy Jacks RPG Podcast. The discusion of Laser Ponies is about 20 minutes in. We're very happy that the "color your pony" part of the character sheet got a mention.
