Polgarus Games

We’re Not Dead

Ok, so for various reasons Polgarus Games has been on a long hiatus for the past 18 months or so (with the exception of the free product we did a year ago). Hopefully that will start to change from now, and we will be able to move forward again with new products.

As part of that process, I’m taking part in the WoAdWriMo (World Adventure Writing Month) challenge that’s on in the month of July. The adventure is for a new setting I’m working on for Polgarus Games. The adventure will be free, and if all goes well in the challenge it will be done by the end of the month. The actual setting book with take a while longer - no guesses on that front

If you’re interested, I’m posting about the writing process for the adventure on my RPG Ramblings blog. I’ll also be writing about the progress of other Polgarus Games work, and other roleplay-related items (my home campaigns, comments on news in the RPG world, etc).

Polgarus Games is participating the the Christmas in July promotion that RPGNow has started. For the next couple of days you can grab our products from YourGamesNow, our online store and RPGNow for 25% off the usual price.

This sale only runs for two days, so you’d better be quick!

To get the ball rolling again we’ve just released a new free download in our 101 series. 101 Starship Cargos offers a quick and easy table for you to use whenever the question of cargo comes up. Like most products, explaining the how and why of the selected cargo is up to the gamemaster

You can grab 101 Starship Cargos from our online store, or from YourGamesNow.

It’s been very delayed due to “real life” (as has all of Polgarus Games), but the June newsletter has just been sent out to all subscribers. This issue talked about upcoming products, had a discount coupon for “15 Starport Encounters”, and a short article on getting your players enthused and involved in your sessions.

If you’re interested in getting future copies of the newsletter, subscribing is quick, simple and best of all free!

March Fourth for GM’s Day

Jason — Tue, 27 Feb 2007 06:23:44 +0000

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 our store and 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.
