Featuring..."The Demon Hunters Orientation Video" - Chapter 1

Report from GAMA

Vancil vs. Silent Jim

We were off on a speedy road trip to Las Vegas to promote our new Demon Hunters Role Playing Game, published by Margaret Weis Productions. Our many thanks again to Jamie, Margaret, Digger and the rest of the gang for giving us a chance and making such a kickass and hilarious book. Current news on the book is that it’s left the printers and is in transit to the warehouses for distribution! Look for it on the shelves of your local gaming store by Memorial Day.

The response seems to be really great. The DVD packaged with the game was a big hit. We handed out a bunch of them to the retailers, so there might be an weird bad History Channel style program going on when you walk into your gaming store, but stick around, it’s hilarious. But then again, we made the movie so I guess we’re biased.

Speaking of making movies, there’s some great stuff coming out this year from our friends in the gaming industry. Fantasy Flight is releasing their Midnight Chronicles film this year, which looks AWESOME I might add. And my personal long awaited delight is getting close to being finished, Midnight Syndicate’s movie, Dead Matter. Much love and praises go out to you fellow filmmakers!

And speaking about movies coming out this year, I’d like to address the issue of The Gamers: Dorkness Rising. We’ve heard a lot of rumors going around and I’d like to clear a little bit of the air on this subject. The official news is this:

We have more than 3 offers on the table from distributors for Dorkness Rising. I’m not at liberty to say who they are yet. One in particular looks very promising, and they are excited and willing to release the film quicker than most.

The details are being ironed out and we are hoping to sign a deal in days to weeks, as opposed to longer.

I know it’s vague, but it’s more news than we’ve ever had on the subject.

On a different note, we also heard a rumor that apparently we are remaking The Gamers. You’d think we’d have heard of that before. We did create an improv sketch based on The Gamers. Someone wrote a stage version of The Gamers (and it wasn’t even us. They tried to make a musical but couldn’t make it work. WOW! Our fans are awesome!) We definitely have more The Gamers content kicking around, but nothing official to report on a remake.

And now I’m done with rumors. On to blatant LIES! Demon Hunters 3 commences filming on April 1st, 2009!!! Muahhahhahahahahaaaaggggg

PWNED!

*COUGH* I am so done with casino smoke.

Join the War on Horror

Ladies and Gentlemen, the game has arrived.

The Demon Hunters RPG

The Demon Hunters RPG was sent to press last night, and the hardcover version, bundled with a DVD containing the brand new Brotherhood Orientation Video, will be available soon at your gaming retailer of choice. However, for those of you who just can’t wait, the PDF version is available right this very minute from DriveThru RPG. You are seconds away from savoring the fruit of our past year’s labor! What are you waiting for!?

For those looking to try before you buy, you can take a gander at a sampling from Chapter One. This snippet is particularly awesome, not only because it gives you a feel for the newly expanded world of the Demon Hunters, but because it’s from one of the sections that I wrote! Bask in its Glory!

We have had an awesome time working on the Demon Hunters RPG. It’s been seven years since we last saw the Brotherhood in action, and revisiting, revising, and revamping their world has just been a blast. A big thanks to everyone at Margaret Weis Productions, and an especially huge thanks to all of our fans. Those college students with the camcorder back in 1999 had no idea that this was even possible. You folks made it possible. Thanks for sticking with us through the years. We promise to give you Dorkness Rising someday!

Listen Up, Recruits…

We’re putting the finishing touches on the Demon Hunters RPG, and it is AWESOME if I do say so myself. No need to take my word for it though, have a look at some sample pages courtesy of Margaret Weis Productions. Up this week, Gabe and R.M.’s character sheets.

It’s a new year for DG, and it promises to be a big one, so it’s time to set some New Year’s Resolutions.

  • Land a kickass distribution deal for “The Gamers: Dorkness Rising” that satisfies our loyal and wonderfully patient fans.
  • Completely redesign the DG website to clear out the last lingering vestiges of 1998.
  • Launch the DG Group Blog in a desperate attempt at more frequent site updates.
  • Cause rioting as hordes of gamers step over each other in a mad rush to be the first to own “Demon Hunters: The Role Playing Game.”
  • Film something. Anything, really. We’re not picky. Personally, I’ve got a stack of Syphillitic Ninja Vampires sketches that I’d like to see get made.*hint hint*
  • Continue to work on and maybe even finish some awesome secret projects that you people don’t even know about yet. Seriously. They’re awesome. Secretly awesome!

So Happy New Year folks! And stick around, 2008 is looking like a good year for us. Except for the riots. Those poor, pasty white bastards!

Happy Halloween!

Don’t get too excited, there’s nothing new to report on the DG front. The Demon Hunters RPG has been pushed back again, so it’s looking like 2008 will be a big year for us. I just wanted to wish everyone a Happy Halloween, and encourage anyone awesome enough to dress up as a DG character this year to take way too many pictures and share them with us.

In the spirit of the holiday, I share with you now a macabre tale of eldritch horror. The worlds of H.P. Lovecraft and C.M. Schulz collide in the perennial holiday classic, The Great Old Pumpkin.
