Kingdom: Involvement

Or, “You’re Magic, You Are”
I have to admit something. I really love games that blur the lines a bit. If you’re of an age, you’ll remember Over the Edge. That game had a suggested scenario that involved the characters finding out that they were the protagonists in an imagined fictional world. It then had them [...]

Fan Expo – Whew!

Fan Expo this past weekend was a blast even though I didn’t get to do much gaming. I got to chat with Jonathan Lavallee, Peiter van Hiel, Jess Hartley, Adam Jury and former RPG guy turned Ganz developer Jesse Scoble, all thanks to the tireless efforts of Justin “The Bitter Guy” Mohareb.Oh — and Chris [...]

Aeternal Legends Free Offer Extended . . . Until When?

Mob United is a one and two person band. That means that some decisions happen not because of any particular strategy but because I don’t have the time to do them differently. So I’ll say it straight up: I’m extending the free Æternal Legends PDF (which includes a discount of 11 bucks on the print version [...]

Kingdom: Supplements

It’d be bad form for me not to mention that Æternal Legends is free in PDF and cheap in print right now, wouldn’t it? I will point out that both offers only run to the end of GenCon. That gives you until Monday to take advantage of a dirt cheap print copy. For those not [...]

The Aeternal Legends Pitch: Five Reasons to Play the Game

I wanted to publish Æternal Legends as my first major release because I wanted to produce a game people would play, not read. It’s got accessible themes and motifs – elves, the heroic journey, the hidden world.
Funny thing: Sometimes “accessible” is hard to sell. Why get another game with elves? Good question. I’m not big [...]

Preview: The World of Aeternal Legends

Hey! Here’s an excerpt that summarizes the world of the Æternal Legends Modern Fantasy RPG. I originally posted this back on Mob United Media’ old livejournal (which is now a feed of this blog), but now that we’re relaunching the game it’s worth looking at again.
What about that relaunch? We’re offering the Æternal Legends PDF [...]

Aeternal Legends: FREE (and Cheap in Print!) over Gen Con!

Sometimes the chaos of real life mutes a small press RPG release. This was the case in August 2007 when we completed Æternal Legends, Stew Wilson’s modern fantasy RPG. We were both pretty damn busy with life and other projects, so we  didn’t have a chance to boost it as much as we wanted. Now, [...]

BUDO: My stealth release

Mob United Media’s taking some big steps in the next few days, but there’s one thing I’ve been pretty quite about. It’s a bit of an experiment, really. It’s BUDO: Hard Style Wushu.
People have been pretty curious about this. What’s it all about? Why did I do it? First of all, Dan Bayn’s Wushu is [...]
