November 19, 2009: The Little Book That Could
The Vorkosigan Saga Sourcebook and Roleplaying Game has been in development for just slightly longer than it takes to say its title. But, from tragedy comes triumph. Which is exactly how Miles rolls anyway.
If you're a fan of the series, or if you've already picked up the PDF version from e23, then you know the score here. For the rest of you, here's the nut-shaped version: Empires that span the stars jockey for position with one another via subterfuge, diplomacy, and the occasional blowing up of stuff. At the center of much of this is the plucky Miles Vorkosigan. Now here's a guy that's had a tough time of it. He fended off his first assassination attempt before he was even born! Of course, it left him stunted, hunchbacked, and fragile. And yet, despite every unwinnable game The Universe sets in front of him, he still comes out on top. (Sure, he often changes the rules of the game when he starts losing, but that's basically the same as winning, right?)
Not that you have to play Miles, of course. This is your saga to write. Ours, at long last, is finally over.

Castle Panic
The forest is filled with all sorts of Monsters. They watched and waited as you built your Castle and trained your soldiers, but now they've gathered their army and are marching out of the woods.
Can you work with your friends to defend your Castle against the horde, or will the Monsters tear down your Walls and destroy the precious Castle Towers? You will all win or lose together, but in the end only one player will be declared the Master Slayer!
Castle Panic is a unique, cooperative strategy game for 1 to 6 players ages 10 and up.
Players must work together to defend their castle, in the center of the board, from monsters that attack out of the forest, at the edges of the board. Players trade cards, hit and slay monsters, and plan strategies together to keep their castle towers intact. The players either win or lose together, but only the player with the most victory points is declared the Master Slayer.
Players must balance the survival of the group with their own desire to win.
