RedBrick nominated for an Ennie!
Hey all. I know, I know. More silence from me. But when I have something to say, it's cool.

RedBrick Ltd has been nominated for an Ennie! The Ennies are an award given out at GenCon every year, and this year RedBrick Ltd has been nominated in the prestigious Publisher of the Year category, nominated by fans and (we hope) voted on by fans!

Want to vote for us? Head over to the Ennie Voting Booth and put RedBrick Limited in as your top pick for publisher of the year! (That particular category is the last on the page.)

Voting is restricted to one vote per IP address, so if you share a computer (or four) on a home network, you can only vote once. Still, we appreciate the support, and would like to make a good showing of it.

More posts coming in the future.

Whedony goodness! Limited time only!


You must check this out. Joss Whedon (co-)writes and directs, Neil Patrick Harris, Nathan Fillion and Felicia Day star... in a 3-act musical focusing on a supervillain's (the eponymous Dr. Horrible, played by Harris) efforts to join the Evil League of Evil, and win the girl of his dreams, Penny (Day).

Of course, like all good supervillains, Dr. Horrible has a nemesis: Captain Hammer (Fillion). When Hammer meets Penny, and they hit it off... well, to say hijinks ensue would be sufficient.

The episodes are available for free at www.drhorrible.com (or click the pic) -- but only until July 20 (Episode 3 goes live on Saturday)! If you miss the free (streaming) versions, you can purchase them from iTunes, or wait for the DVD (which Joss promises will include extras).

Support this project and spread the word! It was an outgrowth of the writer's strike at the end of last year, and I would like to see this sort of thing succeed, if only because it means we might see more of this kind of thing from such talented people.

Drying paint...
I know I said (nearly a month ago) to watch this space. For those of you that have, thank you. I apologize for not actually giving you anything to watch.

The big news, I suppose, is:

REDBRICK LICENSES D&D 4E UNDER GSL

(AUCKLAND, New Zealand) June 20, 2008—RedBrick Limited are pleased to announce they have successfully concluded the signing and acceptance of the first Game System License for Wizards of the Coast’s DUNGEONS & DRAGONS® 4th Edition Roleplaying Game.

James Flowers, RedBrick’s Managing Director, said "This is an exciting opportunity for us. We have been looking forward to working with Wizards of the Coast for some time. Now that Wizards have accepted RedBrick’s application for a Game System License, we can move forward with our plans for publishing DUNGEONS & DRAGONS® 4th Edition compatible products. Once details of our forthcoming product releases have been finalized, we will make a separate announcement."

RedBrick Limited are headquartered in New Zealand, and also publish the popular Earthdawn®, Fading Suns™, and Blue Planet™ roleplaying games under license from FASA Corporation, Holistic Design Inc., and Biohazard Games, respectively. RedBrick's company web site is http://www.redbrick.co.nz. DUNGEONS & DRAGONS® is a trademark of Wizards of the Coast in the U.S.A. and other countries.


I think this is pretty cool. Not really sure exactly where we're going to run with this (and at this stage I can't talk about it even if I did), but what I've seen of D&D4 has intrigued me, and I can't wait to actually get my hands on the books so I can get into it in a bit more depth.

I've been remiss
So, it has been a long time since I posted anything to this blog. There has been a lot of stuff going on in my life the last couple of months, and this site has suffered because of it.

Something that a number of notable podcasters and bloggers have been doing lately is a "post a day" challenge -- where they try to post or update something on their blog/feed/website every day.

I don't know that I'll be doing that, exactly, but I do want to try and post a bit more often than I have been. Please, watch this space for further developments.
