Without a voice through which to communicate with the crowd, Sorensen exercised his only option: break out a word processor and a projector. This led to one of the more magical moments of PAX East

Ladies and Gents,

My Parsely events schedule for PAX East April 6-8:

Saturday 10-11am: SPOOKY MANOR

Sunday 2-3pm: JUNGLE ADVENTURE

Sunday 4-5pm: Z-WARD

I’ll also be demoing games with the Burning Wheel crew. So stop by, say hello and don’t forget your lamp.

Just added Z-Ward and Z-Ward-X to the online store, as well as the skully patch (available for a limited time only!).

Happy New Year and see you at PAX-EAST April (and possibly at MAGfest in January).

- Jared

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!

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!
