Happy Birthday to Me

I’ll be away this weekend for birthday celebrations. If you buy a Parsely hardcover from my online store, you'll have to wait until Tuesday Sept. 10th for the PDF. Don't want to wait? Purchase both and I'll refund the cost of the PDF when I return. Thanks and see ya soon!

I’ll be at Pax East in Boston March 29-30-31 with copies of Parsely, InSpectres and Lacuna; as well as Skully pins and patches. I may even have a new game for play testing (don’t hold your breath though). Look for me at the Burning Wheel booth with this crew…

PAGE 19

Howdy, folks.

Just a quick update to let you know that the free Parsely PDF that many have received is missing page 19 (!). The error has been fixed. Parsers who bought the digital version have the correct file. Let me know if you have any issues (er, that I’m equipped to deal with).

Thanks!

Happy 18th birthday to octaNe!

octaNe: premium uNleaded (PDF)
octaNe: premium uNleaded (PDF)
$10.00

octaNe is the psychotronic game of post-apocalyptic, trash-culture America!

What is "psychotronic?" Well, it's mutants, monkeys, masked wrestlers, loud cars, fast women and rock guitars. In short, everything good in life...and you can drive as fast as you want.

octaNe: premium uNleaded turned 18 years old this month, which is…crazy. Celebrate with a free download until February.

GenCon 2018: The Best Four Hours in Gaming!

Sign Up Now

I'm hosting two of my Parsely games at GenCon on Saturday from 3-5pm. SAVE the date, then RUN on down to the Union Station Grand Hall SE for a LOAD of fun.

Parsely games are inspired by the text-adventures of the 1980s—but no computer is required! We'll play Spooky Manor and explore a gothic mansion full of scary secrets. Then, we'll travel back in time to 1987 to take down a sinister crime boss in Dangertown Beatdown! 

I'll also be signing books at Burning Wheel (#2150) before the event and running the merch table for the D20 Burlesque Nerdlesque Extravaganza 2018!  Note: I will not be performing. Sorry.

Spooky Manor

The job was simple: deliver a package to the reclusive resident of a mysterious mansion. But all is not as it seems....

Dangertown Beatdown

It’s 1987. Detectives Jack Slade and Jetta Chang must take down a crime boss and restore law and order.

 

Parsely Coming Soon!

Parsely Hardcover and PDF: August 2018

Relive the glory days of floppy disks, dot-matrix printers and 128K RAM with this collection of party games inspired by the text-adventures of the 1980s. 

As the parser, you’ll take on the role of a computer game with a limited vocabulary. One by one, the players will give you commands like GO NORTH, LIGHT LAMP or GET SWORD, which you’ll follow to the best of your ability. There’s no limit to the number of people that can play and no limit to the fun you’ll have. So what are you waiting for? It’s time to unplug from your computer and plug into Parsely!

Written and designed by Jared A. Sorensen

Featuring art from: Jordan Worley, Rebekie Bennington, Manning L. Krull, Alice K. Hansmann, Ariel ZB, Lukas Wong-Achorn, Todd James, “Calamity” Jon Morris, Keith Senkowski, Alexey Andreyev, Sam Araya
