Yesterday evening, the Dangerous Games Kickstarter crossed the $13,276 mark set by the Brave New World trilogy, which officially makes this the best-funded of the three 12 for ’12 drives! We’re still a little shy of the number of backers the Shotguns & Sorcery trilogy had, but if we can add another 24 people in the next five days, we’ll snap that tape too. …
Dangerous Games Stretch Goal #1 Unlocked!
Yesterday, the Dangerous Games Kickstarter drive smashed through the $12,000 barrier, which unlocks the first Respect the Streak stretch goal!

Dangerous Games Is On!
I just launched my latest Kickstarter for my third trilogy in the 12 for ’12 series: Dangerous Games. The pitch goes something like this: Once a year, the greatest tabletop gamers in the world descend upon Indianapolis for Gen Con, the Best Four Days in Gaming, to play games, see friends, and have fun.

The Next Kickstarter: Dangerous Games
