Little Fears Nightmare Edition is in the news!

Local Madison arts and entertainment magazine, Isthmus, has an article about me, Little Fears Nightmare Edition, and Madison Games Day 2 in the latest issue (Vol. 34, Issue 39). Madisonians can pick up a copy on the stands today! If you’re not local, or are local but hate touching paper, you can read it online as well!

If you’re coming to this website because of the article, welcome! Feel free to use the Contact form if you’d like to get in touch with me. I’d love to hear from you!

A big thanks to Josh Wimmer, the writer of the article. He did a great job.

Pre-orders have been live for a week now and the response has been amazing! I am humbled and awed by the response to the new edition. My sincerest thanks to everyone who has pre-ordered the book.

For those who haven’t pre-ordered a copy of Little Fears Nightmare Edition yet, let me sweeten the deal. Originally, the first 25 people to place direct pre-orders (Book and/or PDF) would receive the first PDF supplement, Campfire Tales #1, for free through DriveThruRPG. Well, that’s changed.

Response to the new edition has been so strong, I’ve decided to extend the free PDF supplement to everyone who places a direct pre-order by October 12th, 2009. This $5 PDF supplement contains three spine-tingling episodes for Little Fears Nightmare Edition and is scheduled for release in mid-November. But you can get it free with your pre-order (on top of the free shipping and/or discounted corebook PDF price). Let me put this in a way that allows me to use the bold tag.

I’ve also changed how the book will be shipped in the United States. Originally, I was going to ship all pre-orders using USPS Priority Mail. I have switched this to USPS First Class. All books should be received in the same time frame so nothing changes on your end. This does allow me to ship the books faster and cheaper and allow me to offer cheaper shipping after the pre-order period.

The latest of the 13 DOORS has opened to reveal an excerpt from Little Fears Nightmare Edition.

Open Door #10: Show Me Something to read part of the introductory chapter, exclusively at Flames Rising.

Little Fears Nightmare Edition is now available for pre-order in PRINT and PDF!

The cover has been revealed but that’s not the only big announcement for the game this week. I am very happy to announce that Little Fears Nightmare Edition will be released in Print and PDF on Monday, October 19th 2009!

Pre-orders are scheduled to start next Wednesday, September 16th. Information on pricing and pre-order bundles will be announced then as well.

More information next week. Stay tuned!

The latest installment of 13 DOORS – A Little Fears Nightmare Edition Preview is up at Flames Rising. This week, I talk about the process of putting the cover together with Door #8: Cover Me, exclusively at Flames Rising.

Telegraph.co.uk recently ran an article about how folklore and fairy tales may have roots that go back further than previous thought. Dr. Jamie Tehrani, a cultural anthropologist at Durham University studied 35 versions of “Little Red Riding Hood” from around the world, one dating to BC. The same story, repeated through the ages and across the globe, shows the roots of a shared culture, a universality to the human experience that I think fits very well with the concept of collective fear creating a place like Closetland. Very interesting stuff.

Dr. Jamie Tehrani will be presenting his work tomorrow at the British Science Festival. I’d love to hear this talk!

For those like me, you’ll have to settle for this small article until someone posts a video.
