We’ve been getting a ton of email from people in Poland in the last few days, due to an article in the Polish press. Piotrek Czarnieki, a reporter for Gazeta Krakowska, interviewed Jason about Grey Ranks, and we’re guessing that the results were positive. Anyone care to offer an English translation? If so, please drop us a line!
Drowning and Falling, the classic game of watery graves and bone-crunching tumbles, is now back in print through Lulu.com. In addition, Grey Ranks is now available (in both print and PDF formats) through Lulu as well. You can find both games at our Lulu storefront.
Jason was interviewed by Rob Bohl for his designer-focused podcast, The Independent Insurgency. It’s an hour long and covers lots of topics, from production and design to history, playtesting, and actual play. Check it out!
From Nemomeme:
” It was extremely cool, but I especially felt the “pang of the one-shot” with this game. By that I mean I’ve really begin to realize how much I prefer a game that goes for three or more sessions. There was so much more to explore in the amazing characters and situation the players and the game system afforded, but no time or opportunity to do it. The Polish child soldiers, Bear, Slaz, Mar, and the rest are lost portraits, frozen in time. This was my favorite session of the convention”
Seth Ben-Ezra and his crew have been playing Grey Ranks, and producing some remarkable actual play commentary.
Session One | Session Two | Session Three
This is very detailed, insightful observation. If you’re wondering what playing Grey Ranks is like, check this out.
