#penguin king games

[prokopetz]

If anybody's been waiting to pick up one of my non-PWYW games (or if, like an inexplicably large number of this blog's followers, this post is the first time you're learning that I write tabletop RPGs in the first place), they're all 50% off from now through January 5th.

This sale also includes Zach Welhouse's Cerebos: The Crystal City, a surrealist travelogue RPG about death and trains which I didn't write, but which is published under my imprint, so if you're in the mood for something a little more serious than my usual fare, that's definitely one to check out as well.

(Also, not strictly related to the sale, but there have been some review-bombing incidents recently involving certain parties systematically one-starring every single game on itch.io with my name on it – even ones I didn't write, apparently simply because I'm listed as an editor or consultant – and itch.io doesn't seem inclined to take any corrective action, so if you've been meaning to leave a positive rating on a Penguin King Games title that you'd previously picked up and just haven't gotten around to it yet, there's no time like the present!)

Hey, folks. Starting today and continuing through November 28th, all of Penguin King Games' non-PWYW titles are 50% off. In addition, today (November 24th) only, 100% of all sales will go toward the creator as part of itch.io's Creator Day program. If there's something in our catalogue you've been meaning to pick up – or if you want to support our games currently in development, including Eat God, Space Gerbils and Tiny Frog Wizards – now's the perfect chance!

Note that the preceding link leads to a bundle containing all discounted titles; however, you can also claim the discount on individual games by clicking through to their respective pages.

Dedede's model in Return to Dreamland Deluxe is probably the most clump penguin he's ever looked

"That should do it! It’s got everything you could ask for: simple to remove, easy to clean, comfortable, slip-free, snow-friendly, waterproof, and best of all…. well, just give that foot a little stomp and watch the magic!" Something I drew regarding @jell-o101's current comic, in which King Penguin is in desperate need of a new foot. Did Luigi use a toddler's light-up shoe for the base materials? Maybe. But it's the result that matters.

Anyways have this drawing that started as a little cute doodle and slowly tumbled into a whole rendered scene because I love these lads way too much, likely more to come.

NHL Outdoor Game Jersey Tier List

I originally had this idea back during the Stadium Series weekend when I was looking at the jerseys and comparing them to jerseys of outdoor games past. So I decided to put all the different jerseys NHL teams have worn for every outdoor game since 2003 onto a tier list (excluding the 4 jerseys that were worn in the 2 games at Tahoe, since each team just wore their reverse retro jersey and they weren't special jerseys for the event).

Some of these are absolutely gorgeous, and some are flops. I've organized them into tiers of how good they are, and an important factor in my rankings is creativity - whether or not something was original and distinct for the event or a copy of a current/former jersey had a significant impact on what tier it went in. And a note that I am only rating based on the jerseys themselves, and I'm not judging any accompanying pants, helmets, gloves, socks, etc. All of these ratings are scientific and 100% correct.

All of these pictures were taken from the NHL Uniform Database website. This is also where I looked at each team's jersey history to see which outdoor game jerseys were just a copy of another jersey.

And a note that the Coyotes, Blue Jackets, and Panthers do not have any entries on this list since none of them have ever participated in an outdoor game. (Though this will soon change! Looking forward to seeing what the Jackets do for their Stadium Series jerseys next year. And tbh they really need to give the Yotes and Panthers an outdoor game 'cause I think those teams would make some pretty nice jerseys.)

Detailed list of which exact jerseys these are (team and event) are included under the cut for reference.

Jerseys listed from left to right as seen in the image above.

All For The Game - Penguin Classics

[prokopetz]

I think this weekend I'm going to start working on getting my games in playtesting up on itch.io. I'd been avoiding that up until now out of concern for complicating matters if someone decides to drop a PWYW tip on the playtest draft of a game which later goes to crowdfunding and they end up feeling cheated, but there's a non-zero chance that continuing to rely on Tumblr for discoverability isn't going to be in the cards for too much longer!

(If you're mostly following this blog for tabletop RPG stuff, I'd suggest registering an account on itch.io if you don't already have one and following penguinking.itch.io. I'll try to make sure all of my future work goes up there as soon as it's in vaguely presentable form.)
