The Bacchanalia is here!
posted by Meguey on December 16, 2012

Thanks to the combined work of Paul Czege, Michele Gelli, and Claudia Cangini, I have copies of Bacchanalia in English for sale in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. This is an astonishingly beautiful game, full of drama and sensuality. I am very pleased to be able to offer it to the North American market. If you want more info, check out the website: Bacchanalia

1001 Nights 2nd edition - Now for sale!
posted by Meguey on September 7, 2012

Hello folks! I went to PAX, it was delightful. I sold a lot of copies of 1001 Nights, but there are more to be had! And now you can have one, if you follow the links on the side.

Thanks for all the amazingly kind words and enthusiastic comments from folks who picked it up at PAX - you are excellent.

1001 Nights 2nd edition praise
posted by Meguey on August 26, 2012

From Filamena Young:
We have a million gaming books. A good percentage of them are little indie games we backed on KSer. My children are always interested in the books that come in. (Mail is exciting when you’re young.)

I have seen no love or affection so strong in their response to our game books than that to +Meguey Baker ‘s 1001 Nights.

They are fixated, the two-nearly-three year old especially. She will sit and look through the book, from illustration to illustration with the gold tones of the book bouncing off her skin and lightly illuminating her. She’ll look up at me, and I can see she’s not blue eyed like her sister, but more like olive, like me. She’ll look back down and study words she can’t possibly be reading. But she scans them like she is. My kids like books, but this one, I literally have to hide from her or she’ll steal it and hide somewhere just… staring at it.

I know the oldest is bitterly jealous she can’t play this game yet. (Though I think she still doesn’t entirely understand how games come from books.)

Meg, what have you done?! You’ve bewitched my daughters!

From Joe Beason:
I was thinking today that I should ease off on kickstarters/imdiegogos, then I opened my box o’ stuff from pledging +Meguey Baker’s 1001 Nights. I grow weak in the presence of beauty.

I’ve sent out very nearly all the books to backers of the IndieGoGo campaign - only 6 left to pack up out of 120-something. I’m starting to get lovely notes like the ones below:

1001 Nights 2nd edition - now in print!
posted by Meguey on August 17, 2012

I just got off the phone with my printer, and my books are ready! This means I’ll be packaging books this weekend, which is super-exciting to me.

Also, I’ll be at PAX Prime in 10 days, which is also super-exciting. I’m super-excited!

PSi*Run ERRATA!
posted by Meguey on June 7, 2012

Ok, it’s a couple small things, but worth noting. Both of them are on the Risk sheet.

Under Psi, for a 3-4, the other players have 1st say. This should also be in the body of the text.

Under Reveal, for a 1-3, the Runner has no memory triggered, and the GM describes the foggy confusion that persists.

Obviously the “GM” and “other payer” lines got swapped on these. Sorry about that, and I’ll get a corrected sheet up asap.

The new edition of 1001 Nights will be finished in 23 days. If you have ordered 1001 Nights in the last month, you will get the new edition, with the new art, additional rules, and various other spiffy changes.
