Thanks for the kind words, Neil!

That's what my gut says. It's also possible that it's the first time Fabula Ultima has been available at Leisure Games, but I think it's the new publisher that likely ended up tagging it as new.

This has turned into nostalgia week. The very first song I heard by the B52s was Roam. It was during their 2nd comeback but I knew nothing about that at the time. I just knew my family was moving to a new town, there was a lot of driving, and this song kept popping up on the radio (it peaked at #3). I wouldn't even learn about their storied history until much later. Bouncing off the Satellites should have been their triumphant comeback, but tragedy hit the band. Well, here's a taste of that too.

Bruce, thanks very much for these regular announcements. I've been subscribed to them for years now and always look forward to what's coming up next. Kudos to you, sir!

Does anyone here know what this announcement "Fabula Ultima - Black Monk" is exactly? In a quick web search it doesn't appear to be a new product.

The core book and "Press Start" tutorial already exist. Is this simply an ownership change from Need Games to Black Monk?

The main thing for me is the hive mind's guesses so I can prepare for what I think I want.

Greetings Wayfarers!
We are excited to share the complete text-based ruleset for PERTS & NERTS RPG, a cooperative survival and community-building tabletop roleplaying game powered by our proprietary Ludo-Harmony engine.
This is not a dungeon crawler. In this game, players track local infrastructure utility, lineage milestones, and regional friction rather than individual health pools, gold, or armor classes. Your primary goal is macro-survival:

Can you ensure your culture and lineage survive time?

Core Architectural Features:

• The Twin Token Economies: Gameplay revolves Around two self-annihilating resource tracks. PeRTs (Positive Resource Tokens) represent human goodwill and environmental stabilization. NeRTs (Negative Resource Tokens) capture environmental decay, regional disasters, and social tension.
• Stratified Narrative Environments: Play drops traditional grid movement to navigate across layered ecological rings: Settlement safe havens (Layer-A), Wilderness travel corridors (Layer-B), and high-stakes Frontier Peaks (Layer-C).
• The 1-1-1 Wearable Frame Rule: Characters utilize a physical pack frame with a hard mechanical cap limiting them to carrying exactly three active, specialized tools at any given time.
• Generational Reset Mechanics: When characters reach the end of their lifecycle, they ceremonially retire into permanent village council NPCs, passing their custom-carved Wayfarer Frame and traits down to an unburdened descendant.

Open Commons Access

We firmly believe that "everything must have a reason for being." To support active play testing, our complete text-based core ruleset is completely free to print, distribute, and copy under our Open Commons initiative.

An item GeekList: 2026 Autumn/ Spring Mushroom Challenge has been added to the geeklist 2026 soggy challenges

I haven’t played many video games this year, but I set a personal goal to only play games I would thought I would really enjoy instead of games that I merely found interesting. Overall, it has worked pretty well. I’ve played some great games this year! Thanks everyone for your posts to help me sift through my library for the hidden gems.

Are we going to have a clue list for Nerdz Day October 2026?

I can throw a geek list together again but I’m not sure I’ll update it during the day of the sale since everything is going to revealed at once.

I can't draw for $#!&, but I recently purchased the tools to learn.
It's another way to approach gaming, which can add immersion and depth. Love, love, love it!

What level of player experience is expected? I have none but always wanted to learn any of the Traveller games. Are absolute newbies ok, or dobyou prefer players more familiar with the system?

Last call for some games I’m looking for if you really need to free up space.

Long Shot: The Dice Game $5
Pillars of Fate $20
Terraforming Mars: Ares Expedition (the one with the dual layered boards) $15 (low price, I know, but since it happened once already here)

Or take twice the value of games from my list.
