ScreenPlay Video Journal #1: ScreenPlay, Ironbound & Kickstarting It All

If a picture’s worth a thousand words, then a video must be like a million, right? As ScreenPlay moves closer and closer to its Kickstarter launch, The Warden has decided to start a regular series of video journals updating everyone from existing fans to curious onlookers what it’s all about and what to expect.

In this first entry, learn what makes ScreenPlay unique, how Ironbound will introduce everyone to how it works, and the Kickstarter campaign’s goal.

A Final Update & A Look To The Future

As the public playtest for ScreenPlay winds to a close, the latest version of the Rehearsal Edition has been posted on our ScreenPlayers Guild G+ community. If this game has kept you up late at night or you’ve been itching to read through and give it a try with your group but don’t know if you’ll be able to do so before January 29th, join the community today. (Version 1.5 of the rules will NOT be provided through DriveThruRPG/RPGNow.)

Now work progresses on taking ScreenPlay to the next level and after careful consideration, we’re turning to the public once more to make its official launch bigger than ever. Yep, we’re crowdfunding it! (Either Kickstarter or Indiegogo are on the table and a final decision has not yet been made.) The response from playtesters has been fantastic and it feels right to try and give this game a fighting chance to rocket out of the gate with more than our original plans. Expectations are to launch the campaign in Spring of this year and we’re working on building up some stretch goals to make the offer even sweeter than ever. If this sounds like your cup of tea (or coffee), stay up to date right here on brokenrulergames.net or through the ScreenPlayers Guild.

Tick, Tock, Playtesters

The ScreenPlay public playtest wraps up January 29th and this amazing ride is about to close. If you’ve already downloaded any of the existing versions of the game from DriveThruRPG or RPGNow and haven’t completed a Playtest Survey to collect your points, do it now for a chance to win free copies of the final product. Plus if you’re curious to see where ScreenPlay is headed next, be sure to join our G+ community and get an exclusive sneak peak at Version 1.5 (not available anywhere else!).

Like the headline say, tick, tock, tick, tock.

2015 In Review

If there’s one thing I’m a sucker for, it’s end-of-year reviews. 2015 has been a very uplifting year for the Ruler and the next one’s looking to be an explosion of awesome sauce. Once 2016 is underway, I’ll be doing a sales review and share it here, but for now WordPress has provided a breakdown of this site’s first year in operation.

Enjoy and Happy New Year to all of you! Keep your dice rolling.

Here’s an excerpt:

A San Francisco cable car holds 60 people. This blog was viewed about 1,600 times in 2015. If it were a cable car, it would take about 27 trips to carry that many people.
