I’ve spent 11 articles working through the first 5 years of Hex Games. Let’s see if I can condense the next 20 or so into a single article. Once Print on Demand became available and we got over our hang-ups about PDF, we were able to go back more or less to our original plan…
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…
Once Leighton and I had formed an real, legally recognized company and convinced some people to invest in it, our next step was to write the game that would be the company’s first release, QAGS. During the early stages of planning, Dale French was our third partner, but he was whisked away on a magical…
I posted a while back that I’ve started work on QAGS 3rd Edition. Since I’ve spent the last 10+ years writing, rewriting, and then completely reworking versions of a completely different game system (Cinemechanix), some of you might wonder why I’ve changed course again to work on a new version of QAGS. The short answer…
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…
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…
Most gaming sites have names like “Dungeon Monkeys” or “Narrative Pomposity,” so you may wonder where “Death Cookie” came from. Or maybe you don’t. You’re about to find out anyway. Although we didn’t buy the domain until around 2000, the name goes all the way back to the late 90s. Back then, both the Death…

As you can see, we’ve changed things around a bit here at the Death Cookie. Other than the look and the shiny new DriveThruRPG affiliate links (if you click those and buy something, we get a cut–so buy some stuff!), the biggest change is that we’ve gotten rid of the old forums in favor…
Gary Bedell needs no introduction to long-time Hex Games fans. His art has appeared in QAGS Second Edition, Colin Thomas Presents Rasslin’, and the first edition of M-Force, and he contributed the awesome cover picture for Weird Times at Charles Fort High. We haven’t had a chance to work with Gary as much as…
