Superpowered by M&M and Sorcerer Bloodlines.

As most of my readers know Purple Duck Games is not my day job so sometimes things can be slow to get moving. However, this week I'm on holidays so naturally that means I have lots of time to work on Purple Duck Games projects. So far, it has been a very productive week with one of the larger 4 Winds Fantasy Gaming  products getting some movement and at least on Purple Duck Games release as well.

Danni Cipher, Time Travelling
Archaeologist
by Talon Dunning
First up, we have release a subscription for the Deus ex Historica line. The complete Deus ex Historicai book will likely be over 300 hundred pages when finished, so in order to tackle this one easier and get content out to our kickstarters quicker we have decided on doing series releases. Each of the heroes and villains will be available independently of the subscription if you only have interest in certain characters as well.

The first of the serial releases is out now and details the time-travelling archaeologist, Danni Cipher, who acts as the guide and narrator to the rest of the character profiles. This is the first 4 Winds Fantasy Gaming and Purple Duck Games product developed for the 3rd Edition of Mutants and Masterminds. The entire project was written by James Stubbs and Don Walsh.

Stirge bloodline fully manifested

Meanwhile, Perry Fehr (author of 5-star rated Purple Mountain III: The Feasting) has been hard at work on a number of other projects including Monstrous Bloodlines for Sorcerers which was released earlier today. This tightly focused PDF add seven new sorcerer bloodlines for player characters (cyclopean, inevitable, medusan, otyugh, sphinx, stirge, and unicorn... we couldn't get a flumph one we were happy with yet). If you are looking for new ways to differentiate your sorcerer, Perry has you covered. This product was inspired by the art Gary Dupuis created for us to the left.

Now I need to get a bit of work done on Paths of Power II and finish the Heroes of the Fenian Triarchy.

Review: Help Me Fly for iPhone and iPad

Image
Help Me Fly by Funtomic is a casual puzzle game whose difficulty level pleasantly surprised me. The primary goal of the game is to rearrange the position of the red pieces, forming a continuous path from the battery to the plane. The secondary goal is to also connect the path to the stars (the number of stars changes from puzzle to puzzle). When you solve a puzzle, you get a nice animation of the plane flying away in circles. Normally the pieces can only be dragged around; the pieces with an arrow on them can also be rotated. Finding a route to the plane is easy enough, but also connecting all the stars required me several attempts in many cases. The solutions are elusive, possibly also for psychological reasons. For example in the puzzle pictured above, laying down a path to either the star or the plane is trivial, but to connect both of them you always seem to be one cell short, until you figure out that you are approaching the puzzle from the wrong direction. The game currently con

SoulJar Meeting 9/20/13

Just got off the phone with the SoulJar Team (Team SoulJar?!) for our weekly conference call. Previously, we'd only done these things bi-weekly, mostly because we don't really like talking to each other. But as things have begun to progress, we've had to move them to weekly. We discussed a lot of things. 1) We finalized our GenCon '14 plans. We already have rooms, and we're working to secure booth space. We decided on a plan of action and allocated a budget for a booth. I still have one last meeting before I can say categorically that we're going in an official capacity (as opposed to just wandering around). But we're one step closer to attending the con. I hope Indianapolis lays in a sufficient supply of gin. 2) We're working on a plan for the re-release of the Cairn Bicycle-brand Playing Card Kickstarter. It's going to be dialed up to 11, because that's why they put an 11 on the dial. Alyssa is working on that, and we have a meeting scheduled f

A Peek Behind the Curtain

I have two consecutive days off from the "day job," which is pretty rare. So, in honor of the event, I'm going to start the day with a blog. I lead an exciting life, no? Yesterday was also the 25th anniversary of the release of "A Little Respect," so I may be rocking out to Erasure today. It's hard not to be happy when you're listening to Erasure.... I can see by a quick scan of the blog that I've promised to write a bit about SoulJar Games as a group, an endeavor, and (shall I say it?) a movement . Okay. That was a little pretentious. SoulJar Games grew organically out of our work processes for the past year. I "met" Alyssa Faden while working as the line editor for Nystul's Infinite Dungeon (yes, that book is coming out via D3 Adventures). Alyssa drew the maps, so I ended up working closely with her on the design. Eventually, she asked me to line edit her miniature boardgame, Torn Armor. In the meantime, I'd reconnected with jim
