Hex Games Celebrates Zine Month!

Steve Johnson1 month ago1 month ago01 mins

For the last four years, Hex Games has enthusiastically participated in Zine Quest and Zine Month at Kickstarter. In 2020, Leighton produced Akashic Titan, a Dungeon Crawl Classics sourcebook of giant robots that fly through the cosmic void, and Steve created Tales from the Lusty Minotaur, a richly described tavern filled with colorful characters for…

The Hex Ficton on World Anvil

Steve Johnson2 years ago2 weeks ago01 mins

I’ve started a new World Anvil page for the Hex Ficton (where M-Force, Hobomancer, and many other Hex Games are set). It’s in the very early stages right now–just a few brief articles and some partial timelines with no real theming or branding–and not really ready to be shared publicly, but I wanted to give…

Hex Games Does Zine Quest 2

Steve Johnson3 years ago1 month ago04 mins

Three of Hex Games’ most prolific creators have launched Kickstarter campaigns as part of the Zine Quest 2 event. Given that some of the earliest Hex products were released in zine format (even though we didn’t call them zines), it’s kind of to be expected. We’ve helpfully provided the basic info, end dates, and Kickstarter…

Things Are Happening!

Steve Johnson3 years ago2 weeks ago06 mins

Sorry that I’ve sucked about posting lately. It’s been what we’ll call a “rebuilding” few months. I do have some news, but first the most important action item: Josh and Leighton have begun the Kickstarter for the Dungeon Crawl Classics edition of Leopard Women of Venus! The new version will feature art by Josh and…

10 Things You May Not Know About The Origins of Hex Games

Leighton Connor 4 years ago3 weeks ago01 mins

Last weekend the staff of Hex Games went to Collinsville for Archon, where we celebrated the 20th anniversary of the publication of QAGS. This occasion inspired lots of reminiscing about the early days of Hex, which in turn inspired this list. Facebook Twitter Reddit Tumblr Email

Hex Games Celebrates 20 Years of QAGS at Archon 42

Steve Johnson4 years ago1 month ago01 mins

I’ve mentioned a few times in the past year that it’s now been 20 years since we released the first edition of QAGS. Or at least since we printed it. “Released” is probably overstating the book’s availability, given that it was only available at cons we went to, at the store where I worked, and…

The World of 1998

Steve Johnson5 years ago1 month ago01 mins

As I mentioned last time, it recently kind of hit us that next year will be the 20th Anniversary of QAGs. The first edition of the game was printed in 1998 (Second Edition wasn’t released until 2003). Some of you may be too young to remember 1998. Others are old farts like us who still…

And Now For Something Completely Different

Steve Johnson7 years ago3 weeks ago013 mins

In a few recent posts, I’ve made references to a super secret project I’ve been working on. Today I’m going to tell you about that project. First, here’s a brief history of QAGS for those of you who aren’t familiar: sometime in the late 90s, I wanted to come up with a quick system that…
