Never let it be said that the guys from Wandering Men Studios dislike giving away free stuff! Nothing could be further from the truth, in fact. We LOVE giving stuff away so much that our accountant wants to kill us - seriously.

But, we do it anyways...

So, to continue this proud tradition of self-inflicted degradation, we'd like to give you last month's newsletter today for free! Sure, it's about a month behind and you may have seen some of this already, but hey - if you want to see it when it's "hot off the presses", then simply subscribe to our newsletter today! The new issue will be out very soon and it's at least one hundred point three times (100.3x) as awesome as this one!

(honest!)

We've been waiting to show you folks this for some time!! While we were at Gencon, we were approached by a very nice lady, Aimee Stanton, who was impressed by Untold. At first we thought she wanted a demo, but we were surprised to discover that she wanted to feature us on her Youtube Show! So, we sat down for a few minutes and talked a bit about Untold. Please excuse Ashy's voice in the video - he had nearly lost it by this point in the convention, he'd been talking so much!

One of our Untold Artists, Christabel Sevilla, surprised me earlier this week when I discovered that she'd created this cool video of her coloring process as she worked on one of our new creatures, the Storm Dancer. The Storm Dancer is a L'na originally inked by John Gonzalez and I am so geeking out on this video. In fact, I'm hoping that Christabel will do some more of them for us!!

We know that not everyone gets to go to Gencon, and believe me, we sympathize in a MAJOR way... So, to help an ease those "I didn't make it to Gencon" blues, the guys from Wandering Men Studios want to give our fans a little something - basically the same thing we were giving everyone we saw at Gencon!

At Gencon, we were giving out new, fully functional Race Cards to everyone we saw - lots of folks were stunned by the beautiful cards and many of them asked about the game as well. Of course, we can give you fully functional cards online, but we are running a CONTEST TO WIN SOME!!! Check out the sample cards below - this is only 12 of the 36 different kinds of cards we were giving away. If you'd like to win some of these groovy cards, check out the contest details below!

Rich Perkins sat in on one of our Saturday Untold demos at Gencon 2009; he was more than happy to tell us EXACTLY what he thought of our game!

Dustin played in our first Untold Demo at Gencon 2009. As I say in the podcast, his enthusiasm about the game speaks for itself...

We've talked about them a few times in the past and in truth, I think that our Men: the Wandering cards, in a strange way, set the stage for Untold. Way back in the day, the guys from Wandering Men Studios (even before there *WAS* a Wandering Men Studios, in fact) were going to conventions selling our first fantasy novel, Skein of Shadows, published by Dark Quest Games and we wanted a way to give back to the Con-goer, something that they would like and yet would make an impact for our product.

A few weeks ago, we were contacted by the folks from Livingdice.com, an awesome RPG blogging and review website. They asked if we'd be interested in doing an interview with them about Wandering Men Studios and Untold, and of course, we were happy to do so! Here's the result of that fated exchange:

Hello faithful gamers, Cap here, fresh from the play-test of the new and improved Untold! Now, before you get your undies in a wad, this is not a 4e-ism, but rather a streamlining improvement of the core Untold rule set.

We’ll get to that, let’s begin at the beginning…

Beginning of last week I received a call from a breathless Brannon “Ashy” Hollingsworth, begging me to come down to Alabama because my expertise was desperately needed to help guide this pivotal play-test. It came out more like: “If you ain’t got nothing going on, we’re playing Untold this weekend.” With such an invitation I set out Friday morning for an odyssey of Homeric proportions. I.E. I took a wrong turn at Albuquerque and drove the ENTIRE interior of Alabama!
