Best New RPG of 2006: [...] But the winner this year (which we'll get to in a full review just as soon as we can) combines all those things. Flavor, killer apps, excellent example and instruction, and sheer mood blend with the kind of heart, love, and optimism that quite frankly we need right about now, in gaming and everywhere else. For all these reasons, and for the sheer giddy delight of an Oz-Narnia mashup, Chad Underkoffler gets the ruby slipper for The Zorcerer of Zo, along with the 2006 Best New RPG Outie.

Huzzah!

In order to share the love, I'm offering the following coupon at RPGNow on the PDF version ONLY of ZoZ, from today until the end of February 2007, so you can check it out for only $10: $5 off the ZoZ PDF. (You must use this coupon to get the PDF for $10 at RPGNow).

(As always, the softcover is available at Indie Press Revolution and the PDF+PoD combo at RPGNow for $30.)

Congrats! Well deserved. I'm loving reading the book and the insights into your game, and will probably launch a campaign when my current game wraps.

Congratulations! It's a well deserved honor. I've just finished reading my copy, and when I realized I'd reached the end I felt that same bittersweet feeling I get when I reach the end of a much-loved work of fiction. The combination of rules, setting, and campaign history was perfect.

Congrats, Chad! This is awesome!

If only I had released Mortal Coil *last* year. ;) Seriously, so many great games came out this year that I am super pleased to be among them.

It's kind of a good thing isn't it?

(Tim has had time to calm down since this morning, but best not approach anyway - ed)

And a brilliant quote for you to use too. Kudos.
