Sorry for the delay in getting this installment of the series out. Part of it is because I went on vacation and came right back into Spooktober, so time has been a factor. Another factor is that this is a part of the Hex history that we’ve retold to our friends and families thousands of…
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…
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
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…
I didn’t post last week because I spent the early part of the week getting ready for Archon and Thursday night loading up the booth and driving to St. Louis. What was I working on for Archon? Mostly boring stuff: reprinting missing character sheets from the games I’d already run at other cons, counting and…
Continuing with #RPGaDay2015… 22. Favorite Gaming Environment Since the games I play usually don’t have a lot of moving parts, I’m not really picky about where I play.

I just got back last night from another fun but exhausting Archon weekend, so I’m going to post something I’ve already written today. As some of you know, we’ve been working on a new version of M-Force, our monster hunting game, for quite a while now. M-force takes place in the same world (which we…
An Interview with Sharktoberfest Writer Steve Johnson, Conducted by Dale Ryan Just in time for October, Hex Games has released Sharktoberfest, written by Steve Johnson and illustrated by James and Lindsay Hornsby. I’d never really given much thought to shark movies before, but reading the book I was struck by how much time Steve has…
An interview with Steve Johnson and Leighton Connor, conducted by Jeffrey Johnson I remember back in the olden times when if you wanted behind the scenes information about movies or games you had to settle for the little snippets in Starlog, or on E! entertainment TV and piece the whole story together bit by bit….
In less than a week, the Hex crew will be converging on Indianapolis for GenCon, the biggest gaming convention of them all. The first time I went to GenCon, I dreaded it–I was afraid it would be a perfect storm of all the things that annoyed me about Origins and Dragon*Con. These days, it’s my…
