BPG Sales Numbers: Q3 2011

Posted by Steve on November 14th, 2011 — in Square Deal

This post is about the Quarter Three sales numbers for Bully Pulpit Games. This is something I’ve been meaning to pull together for some time, inspired by Fred Hicks and his ongoing efforts at transparency. As I’ve said elsewhere, I think sharing experience is what makes our indie/small publishing community great, so this is our effort to give back a little.

If you have questions or would like to know the details, feel free to drop me a line or leave a comment.

November Playset of the Month – DC73

Posted by Steve on November 1st, 2011 — in News

The November Playset of the Month is the Dr. Strangelove-inspired DC73 from Logan Bonner!

With a war in Southeast Asia, unrest at home, and the evidence in the Watergate scandal reaching closer and closer to the goddamn President of the United States, the political landscape in Washington D.C. buckles and shifts daily. It’s a good time to be young and hungry. It’s a good time to be ruthless. And it’s a good time to know some secrets.

Deals are made on both sides of the Iron Curtain, and Capitol Hill insiders are willing to risk anything–from public disgrace to nuclear Armageddon–for a big payout or a State Department gig. So in the name of Nixon or Brezhnev or Abbie Hoffman or John Wayne, make the system work for you or tear it the hell down.

This is our second playset from Logan, following on the very popular Dragon Slayers.
