Over at http://www.fightingfantasy.com/, they're gearing up to celebrate the line's 30th anniversary in a big way. Fighting Fantasy co-founder Ian Livingstone is penning a new book, number 60 in the series (by the original numbering) called Blood of the Zombies.
The site released this description of the book:
In this adventure YOU are kidnapped and sold to a deranged megalomaniac who wants to build an army of undead to exact terrible revenge on those once mocked him. He hates everybody except for his scientists and servants. The scientists were instructed to develop a mutated gene in human blood which would be injected into innocent victims, turning them into Zombies. The madman's henchmen kidnapped hundreds of people who were locked up to await their fate. YOU are about to be injected with Zombie blood. The Zombie army is almost complete, ready to be unleashed upon the world in a frenzy of killing and wanton destruction. YOU have to avoid being transformed into a Zombie. YOU have to kill all the Zombies, dispose of the madman and escape from the castle. To do this you will need a lot of firepower to take down the hordes of Zombies. But don't kill everybody as there is one person who needs to be rescued...
The book should be available in August. You can also find out about progress on the first Fighting Fantasy movie, Book 10: House of Hell, which may also release as part of the anniversary celebrations.

A Kickstarter project has begun with the plan of reprinting the popular Order of the Stick series. Click the first link in this post to check it out, but if successful (and it likely will be), this project could potentially open the floodgates to limited reprints of other small press RPGs...
Thanks to Sol for the heads-up!

AEG announced two items of interest to RPGGeekers this week past that we'd like to share with you.
 Imperial Histories has been previewed here. The book will cover several different eras of play for Legend of the Five Rings (4th Edition), including one created by a fan as part of a contest AEG ran earlier in the year.
AEG Website wrote: The Imperial Histories recount the triumphs of the Emerald Empire and the most noble Emperors who have lead it in shining glory. Maintained by the dutiful Miya and the devoted Ikoma families, the Imperial Histories are a testament to the Emperor’s unfailing leadership and the never wavering loyalty of his servants. All samurai of the empire can look upon them and be assured of the imperial family’s unquestionable judgment and guidance of the Emerald Empire.
AEG's online store is also offering significant discounts on all of their stock for christmas. While the majority of the product on sale consists of boardgames, they also have a bundle of the four currently released books for Legend of the Five Rings (4th Edition) at only $100 - a huge saving if you're looking to break into the world of Rokugan. Take a look here for more details.
AEG Website wrote: The L5R RPG has been one of the best products for an RPG line, and 4th Edition continues to outshine itself continuously with new books filled with gorgeous art, interesting mechanics for both GMs and Players, and more background and information about the world of Rokugan than anyone could ever ask for. If you’re missing a book in your collection, this Big Christmas Bundle will help you fill out, and give you extra copies for friends and new players. If you’ve wanted to get into the L5R RPG, now is your chance to get EVERYTHING that is out for it, all at once.

A few of us have joined forces in order to keep you updated with the goings-on in the roleplaying world. Our hobby is so diverse and expansive that this job seems almost impossible to do comprehensively, but I'm hoping that when you meet the team, you'll be happy with our best effort.
Without further ado, the team consists of:

I'm a big fan of games like Legend of the Five Rings (4th Edition), Spycraft, HackMaster (5th Edition - Basic & Advanced) and anything else Science Fiction or Comedy-themed. I'm a multi-domain Geek and play a bit of everything, but RPGs are where my heart's at.

I'm a big fan of Savage Worlds and games in the Star Wars and Warhammer 40,000 universes. My gaming has typically been on various Play-by-Forum sites, but I've started to game with real pens and paper more in the past few years. I'm also a multi-domain Geek, but something about the dice always keeps me coming back to RPGs.

I'm mostly a fantasy gamer but I've dabbled a bit in a lot of older systems and a few newer ones. My favorites are Deadlands, Champions, and all things Dungeons & Dragons before 4th edition. I don't do much with video games, but I have a decent boardgame collection.

Hey you kids, get off my Avatar!
I've been a huge RPG ferret since I started in 1981. Most of my experience has been as a D&D player, but I do go behind the screen from time to time. My favorite RPG is Pendragon, but other candidates change year to year or even day to day. I also have a decent board game and video game collection, but RPGs are my true love.

I've been a D&D player since the early 90s, through AD&D 2nd Ed, 3rd Ed, and v.3.5. I've been a fan of Paizo since they started publishing Dragon and Dungeon magazines, and I now follow all things Pathfinder. This includes Pathfinder Society Organized Play, and to an increasing degree, third parties releasing Pathfinder Compatible products.
I grew up on red box D&D which I'm still very fond of. After years without roleplaying I've returned to the hobby, and now mostly play story games like InSpectres and Fiasco. I like single malt whisky, and my cat is called Olaf.

I cut my teeth on Advanced Dungeons & Dragons (2nd Edition) like many people. This started my voracious obssession with all things RPG which, until a couple of months ago, managed to hide away a bit. I played a lot of Middle-earth Role Playing (1st & 2nd Editions) and Star Wars (WEG 2nd Edition). These days, though, I've mostly been running my group through the latter and Mutants & Masterminds (2nd Edition). I'm the guy who'll be keeping an eye on Green Ronin Publishing, Wizards of the Coast, and Steve Jackson Games. Looking forward to getting news out to all you crazy cats on a regular basis!
So, that's the team. If you hear anything exciting and want to help us out, let one of us know about it. Otherwise, on with the news!
