Wacky Wizard Games Imprint and Three New Games Announced by @wwizardgames

Image
Wise Wizard Games announced the launch of Wacky Wizard Games, a new brand imprint focused on family-friendly, lightweight games. Three games are planned for release in 2024 as part of this new brand imprint: Star Realms Academy, Caution Signs, and Pack the Essentials. If you are interested and attending PAX Unplugged they will have prototypes of Caution Signs and Pack the Essentials. "We are super excited to be adding this new family friendly product line to our catalog. We wanted to maintain the focus of Wise Wizard Games on strategy card and dice games with geeky themes, and have created Wacky Wizard Games as an umbrella for lightweight games with a more whimsical, cute vibe," shared Debbie Moynihan, COO of Wise Wizard Games. Star Realms Academy Forge your own star realms, overloaded with cuteness! A kid friendly but still fun for grown-ups version of the popular Star Realms deckbuilding game for 2 players. A little less math, no reading necessary, but still tons of fun!

Exclusive Interview with Creator @RobLevin for @TopCow's Bushido @ImageComics

Image
I was fortunate enough to ask Rob Levin (Mind the Gap, Witchblade, Darkness) , the Creator of the upcoming genre-blending samurai vs. vampires series Bushido a few questions about the comic industry, and his new book. Thanks to Top Cow I also have a 9-page preview of the first issue of the mini-series. You can read the interview by clicking Read More. "Written by Rob Levin and illustrated by Jessada Sutthi, Bushido: The Way of the Warrior , takes place in feudal Japan and tells the tale of Kichiro, a young shipwrecked boy who is raised by samurai and trained in the art of Bushido. As he grows, and a vampiric threat emerges, Kichiro will lead a small group of samurai as Japan’s only line of defense."
