“Christina and I have worked together before,” says SGG Lead Developer Owen K.C. Stephens. “We’ve both been freelance writers for the same book published by another company, and we’ve bounced ideas off each other when working on our own products. She has a good grasp of game mechanics and a sensibility that matches our style. When the possibility of her becoming a developer for us came up, it seemed like a good fit.”

“I’m very excited to be working with Stan!, Hyrum Savage, and Owen K.C. Stephens,” Christina said. “I LOVE SGG’s books, and I look forward to adding more material to their impressive catalog. With my CSP product line, I’m particularly looking forward to working with some new writers, helping them build their freelancing careers and mentoring them in the process. Paying it forward is of great importance to me.”

Christina will work with SGG Lead Developer Owen K.C. Stephens to build a stable of authors from both well-established and new freelance writers. Individuals interested in writing for the “Christina Stiles Presents” line can contact her at christinalstiles@gmail.com.

Super Genius Games, critically-acclaimed publisher of supplemental material for the Pathfinder, Savage Worlds, and Call of Cthulhu role-playing game systems, has acquired the rights to the Pathfinder-compatible WARLORDS OF THE APOCALYPSE game setting from original developer Adamant Entertainment.

WARLORDS OF THE APOCALYPSE, first announced in 2010,  brings the gonzo, over-the-top world of classic post-apocalypse science-fantasy to the Pathfinder rules system, featuring mutants, psychic powers, radioactive beasts and warriors of the wasteland.

“The game ran into some major snags during development,” says Gareth-Michael Skarka, director of Adamant Entertainment. “We soldiered on, trying to pull it together, but it became apparent that the property would be far better in the hands of Pathfinder experts like the crew at Super Genius.  We’re very glad they expressed an interest and that we were able to come to an agreement that honors not only WOTA, but the existing pre-order customers, who were our primary concern.”

Customers who had pre-ordered WARLORDS OF THE APOCALYPSE will see those orders fulfilled by Super Genius Games. “We are well aware folks have already been waiting a very long time, and shown amazing patience,” says Owen K.C. Stephens, the Line Developer for WOTA at Super Genius. “We’ll be outlining our full plans soon, and setting up a forum for open discussions. We know we’ll eventually put the book in the hands of the pre–order customers, and we’re working out how the general public can get involved. Since we want the biggest, best release possible for Warlords of the Apocalypse, we’re even considering a Kickstarter campaign.”

Stephens and Skarka both expressed enthusiasm for the project and it’s future in the hands of Super Genius Games. “It’s such a fun genre, and Super Genius has strongly established themselves as seriously excellent developers,” said Skarka. “I look forward to seeing WARLORDS OF THE APOCALYPSE in its final form.   I’m sure it will be brilliant!”

We’ve just kicked off a new Kickstarter campaign with a goal of raising the funds necessary to bring The Littlest Shoggoth back into print, this time in an edition substantial enough so that everyone who wants a copy can get one. The details can all be found on the project’s Kickstarter page.

If this interests you at all, there’s one thing above all others we ask: Tell people about it!

Yes, ideally we’d like you to spend some of your hard-earned cash on the project, but we’re realistic . . . times are tough, it’s the holiday season, not everyone can. But if this sounds like a worthy project, you can make a real impact by helping us get the word out as far and wide as possible!

The Littlest Shoggoth Kickstarter will run through the middle of December, and then we’ll (hopefully) get right to work printing the copies and shipping them out to our patrons.

Join us as we aim to put a little bit of the Mythos into the holidays!

Double, Double, Toil and Trouble

From the Norns of Norse myth to Hansel and Gretel’s tormentor—from Baba Yaga in her flying mortar to the Blair Witch—the hideous (and hideously dangerous) crone features prominently in folklore and legend. Powerful, ugly, and able to band together to increase their power, hags are an iconic—but often underutilized—foe.

Mythic Menagerie: Covens of Chaos provide an assortment of new hags from CR 3 to CR 15, along with insight into the motivations of these terrible creatures, expanded powers for hag covens, and a range of items, feats, and spells used by hags individually and as covens. Send your players into the wilderness at their peril!

Each volume in the Mythic Menagerie series presents a small set of monsters tied to a single theme, but spread over a range of CRs.

Drawn from the Might of the Heavens Themselves

From the heroes of Greek myth to the annals of fantasy fiction, the god-touched have fired our imagination. Where The Genius Guide to the Godling introduced this archetype to gaming, and The Genius Guide to Mystic Godlings expanded it,The Genius Guide to the Godling Ascendant now builds further upon the popular character type. This meaty title expands the classes even further, with rules for using godling abilities to create exemplar monsters, new ways for characters with non-godling classes to represent scions of immortal power, and new divine traits, ascendancies, scion talents, and feats for the four godling classes. All of that, along with new ways to introduce the concept of godlings into your campaign.

The Genius Guide series of products introduces new possibilities to your Pathfinder or OGL campaign and gives everyone at the table a chance to expand the horizons of the game and create adventures that are truly fantastic.

1 idea, 1 page, 1 dollar

Sidekicks and secondary characters are a staple not just of fantasy, but of virtually every fictional genre—but does the Leadership feat really enable the sort of secondary characters your group needs? #1 with a Bullet Point: 2 Options for the Leadership Feat gives you two new ways to benefit from Leadership, eschewing the unbalancing cohort and annoying legion of low-level followers in favor of characters that add real mechanical and flavor benefits to the game. If you haven’t checked out our #1 with a Bullet Point items yet, why not give this one a try? Seriously, what do you have to lose? (Just a dollar!)

Each title in the #1 with a Bullet Point series brings you a short, sharp batch of mechanics on a single, focused topic. The concept is simple: Strip away the fluff and the extras to bring you one idea, in one page, for one dollar. #1 with a Bullet Point products are usually released in addition to SGG’s normal weekly product.
