In an effort to further distract you from all the really important things in life,
we have added a link to the member's page on the Website (www.crucifictiongames.com) to a "Live Gaming Chat Room" that will allow anyone to set up and run a live game - preferably of "Horror Rules," since that's what the site is all about, but heck whatever you want is fine. We sponsor it, you run it (nice, eh?).

We've added a new Horror Rules T-shirt to our arsenal, but only for the bold.
The front reads "Everything was going GREAT until I peed my pants and passed
out," with the cool original HR logo in full color on the reverse. It's guaranteed to make your friends ask "What the heck does THAT mean?!?" and perhaps even shun and avoid you for awhile. Check it out at www.cafeshops.com/cfgames

CCG Workshop / Costikyan Team Up

Greg Costikyan has reached an agreement with CCG Workshop to adapt a multi-player online version of his board game The Creature that Ate Sheboygan.

In The Creature That Ate Sheboygan, one player designs a monster and then attempts to wreak as much havoc as possible, while the opponent controls the police, fire department, and Wisconsin National Guard in an effort to destroy the monster and save the city of Sheboygan. The game won the Origins Award for best science fiction/fantasy boardgame in its year of publication, and was selected by Games magazine as one of the best 100 games in print at that time.
