Gen Con is over, and we’re catching our breath after our biggest event of the year. We had a great Gen Con 50, and a big shout-out to the team involved in pulling together such a cracking anniversary event.

We had a super productive Pelgranista get-together in Indianapolis in advance, and have big plans for the rest of the year. Other highlights were winning the Indie Game Developer Network’s Indie Groundbreaker Award for Game of the Year for Seven Wonders, our story game anthology (get 15% off with this month’s bookshelf offer), and two runner-up awards for Best Art and Game of the Year for #Feminism. We had a bit of a rest during this year’s ENnie Awards, and were happy to sit and watch Ken and Robin pick up their fourth win for KARTAS, Bubblegumshoe picking up Best Family Game, and of course, Chaosium’s well-deserved ten awards. Congratulations to all the winners in both awards!

New this month, we have the pre-order draft of The Persephone Extraction, a five-adventure collection for Night’s Black Agents. We’ve also got the first Vivian Sinclair adventure for Cthulhu Confidential; called The Howling Fog, it sees our tenacious reporter go undercover in the sleazy clip joints of New York City, investigating some mysterious mob deaths. We’ve also got Cthulhu City and Out of the Woods
