Ganesha Games has a new home on the net: www.ganeshagames.net

See you at Origins 2008!

Just a quick note to confirm that I'll be running demos of Song of Blades and Heroes and its post-apocalyptic cousin Mutants and Death Ray Guns at Origins Game Fair 2008 (June 25th-28th, Columbus, OH). Look for our demo table in the Miniature Hall. The demos will run every day.

Even if you don't have time to play (an average game is just 40 minutes), I'll have a few SBH bookmarks to give away (they are not just bookmarks, they are used as measuring sticks in the game). I'll also have a few copies of my other games including Familiars.
See you there!

welcome to Familiars

Familiars is a pen-and-paper role playing game by Ganesha Games. Participants play the role of familiars, magical spirits in animal bodies. Familiars are more than animals -- they have supernatural powers and human intelligence, and can converse with animals and spirits. Set in a quasi-medieval world where magic is illegal and familiars are magic-users' trusted spies, gophers and troubleshooters, Familiars lets you play a raven with psychometric powers, a cat that can walk through walls, a dove that can turn invisible or even a hard-kicking rabbit... or nearly any "little critter" you can imagine.
Familiars goes on sale in January 2008. Stay tuned!
