Wednesday, September 1st, 2010New Store Locator is Up!
Thursday, August 19th, 2010Having trouble locating a copy of Castle Panic? Well, in addition to being available at select Barnes & Noble stores, as well as Barnes & Noble online, Amazon and other online retailers, we’re also availble at many local hobby stores. Unfortunately, finding those hobby stores can sometimes be a bit tricky. That’s where the new Store Locator on our front page can help. (more…)
Once Upon A Time . . .
Friday, May 28th, 2010We all love a good story, and stories about ancient castles, brave knights and hideous monsters are usually really good ones right? Heck, those kind of stories helped inspire me to create Castle Panic after all.
I guess it only seems fair that after all this we’ve inspired a story. Even more fair in that it’s a really short story, since our game plays pretty quick as well. Writer and Artist Andi Newton has penned a 100 word story set in the world of Castle Panic and it tickles us to no end. The only bad part? I want to know what happens next.
We know we’ve got a lot of creative fans out there. If you’ve got a story you’ve written about our world of castles and monsters, let us know! You can submit your story to us through this link and we’ll post the ones we like the best in a special section of our website!
They say the pen is mightier than the sword, but I don’t know if that helps against giant boulders.

Protospiel South Starts Today!
Friday, May 28th, 2010Hey everyone. If you’re in the Austin area and love games, especially NEW games, I want to let you know about Protospiel South that’s happening this weekend. It’s the same idea as the classic Protospiel convention that’s held every year up in Michigan, except thanks to Austin’s own Jonathan Leistiko, we’re getting our own version of it here in Texas.
To quote their own website; “Protospiel South is a gathering for amateur and established game designers to test and promote nearly-finished game prototypes. The atmosphere is casual, yet everyone is serious about their goals and dreams of publishing games.”
It’s a great idea and a fun wayto see new game ideas that may eventually make it onto the shelves of your local game store. Today is mostly setup and registration, but tomorrow and Sunday will be where the gaming gets started. The convention takes place at the Best Western Atrium North, in Austin and admission is $20 at the door for a day pass, or $30 for the entire weekend.

Giving and Gaming
Monday, April 12th, 2010Last Saturday was the big day for the Give 2 Game charity event and it was a lot of fun. The turnout was much bigger than last year and it looks like the donations were more than twice what was made last time! It didn’t hurt that there were tons of games available and lots of people to play them with as well.
