Polgarus Games is pleased to announce that we are taking part in the semi-traditional GM’s Day sale this year. From February 27 until March 6, all Polgarus Games products will be 25% off at YourGamesNow (quite a few other companies are having a sale on YourGamesNow – you can see the full list here).
In case you’re not familiar with GM’s Day, it is a day specifically set aside for players to say “thanks” to their group’s gamemaster for all the time they spend preparing and running adventures for the group. While RPG publishing companies place their products on sale in the hope you’ll buy them (either for your gamemaster or for yourself), even a simple “thank you” can go a long way to making a gamemaster feel appreciated.
The idea of GM’s Day dates back to 2002 – you can read the original thread where the idea came from on EnWorld here.

We’ve just sent out the February newsletter. This issue talked about the three upcoming products from Polgarus Games, had two discount coupons for “15 Space Opera Passengers” and “The Veggie Patch”, and a short article on a way I’ve found to get my players more involved in developing their characters in games.
If you have subscribed to the newsletter but didn’t receive your copy (either the full version or the short message giving you a URL where you can read it), make sure to check your spam filters and “junk” folder in your email program – spam filters are notorious for blocking newsletters. And if you’re interested in getting future copies of the newsletter, subscribing is really quick, simple and best of all free!

 No matter how good a gamemaster is, sooner or later they’re going to run into a blank when it comes to deciding an adventure for the next session. The great advantage, and sometime the greatest problem, with space opera settings is that the range of adventure possibilities is huge. The sky (indeed, the entire galaxy!) is the limit.
43 Space Opera Adventure Seeds offers just what its name suggests – forty-three different adventure ideas for you to use as a basis for your own scenario. These seeds can be used as-is, combined together with other seeds, or simply used as a springboard for your mind to come up with new and different adventures.
The seeds you will find include:
Raising an Army… New Laws… Insect Swarms… Disappearances… Cache of Goodies… Friendly Murder… Communications Blackout… Forgotten Journal… Techno-shock… Ripper’s Back… A New Home… Hargon’s Pirates… Language Barrier… Special Delivery… Short on Gravity… Prophecy of Doom… Like Looking in a Mirror… Assassination… Terrorist Attack… Do I know you?… Fountain of Immortality… Corporate Stalking… That Way Madness Lies… Salvation or Slavery?… Crime Spree… Toxic Sludge… Under the Hill… Hand Made… Sticky Space… Slave Trade… The Test… Fast Food Recipes… Test Flight… Fight Night… Discovering the World… Virtual World… Ship Graveyard… Hidden Messages… Vampires!?!… Studying Rocks… Ghost Ship… The One… Dead Ringer
43 Space Opera Adventure Seeds is available now from YourGamesNow and RPGNow. It will be available shortly on e23.
Special Note: For one week only, 43 Space Opera Adventure Seeds will be priced at 29% off it’s normal price at both YourGamesNow (not RPGNow or e23).

We’ve put together a new release designed to help busy gamemasters when their players ask unexpected questions! 101 City & Place Names is a collection of names that can easily be used for cities, places, planets or any other location name you might need at short notice in your game. While it is part of our Space Opera Support line, the names can be equally used in a fantasy setting.
You can grab 101 City & Place Names from our download page or from YourGamesNow.
