Z-WARD and Z-WARD-X have arrived safe and sound at Skull Mountain. They’re available for order now on the MMT site and *all* orders will start shipping when I return from Maine on Monday.
I have the shirts and other goodies (!) but I’m still awaiting the buttons and patches. Here’s how I’ll do the shipping: the $10-$20 orders will go out first (because I have all the materials here) followed by the $25+ orders in January. Cool?
Print copies of Z-WARD-X (the expansion) may be available in print once the kickstarter orders are sent out. Thanks for your support!
Wired.com did an excellent piece on humans pretending to be video games and Action Castle got a mention!
I’m offering a Skully t-shirt to all $50+ pledge backers once I reach my new stretch goal of $5000.
Check it out here!
Help Kickstart Z-Ward here.
I’m kinda floored. Less than a day into the kickstarter for Z-Ward and I’ve raised 50% of my goal. I’m already thinking of writing another Parsely game during the winter months. Maybe a micro-green for the holiday season? Anyway, thanks to everyone for their support!

After many, many requests, I decided to make Lacuna Part I. (second attempt) available at RPGnow.com.
And as an aside to those that would like this particular information to “be free” —
I’d like to remind you that I made this thing and I rely on sales to, you know, pay rent and eat. For reals. This is my job. So if you happen across a pirated copy or opt to torrent the game for a little look-see, please PayPal me (jared at memento-mori.com) a donation and I’ll dedicate my next cup of coffee to you. I appreciate it.
The lovely and talented Jen of Jennisodes wanted to interview me for some reason.

If you’re new to the Parsely games series from Memento Mori Theatricks, here’s a great way to get started! I’m offering two of the most popular games together for $10 and throwing in a little extra for your treat bag—the high school-themed Blackboard Jungle. Parsely games are perfect for parties, classrooms and even haunted hayrides. Spooky Manor takes the players inside a mysterious mansion and offers several different endings. Pumpkin Town is a kid-friendly exploration game set in a land of witches, ghosts and giant squids. Order now to get them in time for Halloween!
The French edition includes :
• A new, blue cover design that makes it something of a collector’s item
• Brand new artwork commissioned especially for the French edition, and more pictures than the original
The publishers are also offering some exclusive goodies:
• Your name into the book (until october 10th only)
• Lacuna badges
• An A3-sized poster
• A large vinyl banner
• Your photo in the book (as a Mystery Agent)
Cool, I hope I get some of these!
