Anyone else notice that FGU is cranking out new Villains & Vigilantes stuff like mad lately? There's a bunch of bundled reprints as well, and some stuff for Aftermath and the Daredevils pulp RPG, but most of it's V&V, including a book of solo adventures: link Nice to see them going strong again – they've been pretty much in torpor a long time. Ah, poking around further I see they're even offering pdf versions of some old classics, including Bunnies & Burrows and Royal Armies of the Hyborian Age: link Pretty cool indeed. |

Thanks – will pick up Royal Armies. They have an odd mix of hardcopies still available too – would have prefered Down Styphon! as a pdf too, but will go for paper. |

May I suggest that anyone with $3 USD burning a hole in their pocket should pick up a copy of FGU's Citadel. Great little "dungeon exploring" game. |

This is cool. Thanks for posting about it. John |

You can thank mrwigglesworth – his Tunnels & Trolls thread got me to thinking about games I haven't played in years, and that got me noodling around FGU's site. Used to love Bushido and V&V and Space Opera and Daredevils. Sadly, neither Metagaming nor SPI have magically returned from the dead, but at least FGU is up and moving again. :) |

Played many a game of Citadel. I'm sure time has been kinder to the past than my memory deserves. Best game you can fit in a manilla envelope. |

Still waiting for them to re release Bunnies and Burrows Ooh I just noticed the second link…wonderful
Anybody do bunny rabbits in 25mm?
|
| Chief Lackey Rich | 08 Jan 2013 6:13 a.m. PST |
They'd be kind of small in 28mm, don't you think? MegaMinis has some rather cartoony giant rabbits in a pack that might be useful, even if they are way off from scale. Reaper makes a magician doing the rabbit in a hat trick, and I think a familiar as well, but I doubt either of those would be much help. Although a B&B campaign supplement where all the rabbits are domesticated might be interesting. Magician's props, pet bunnies, escaped lab testing victims, etc. :) |

Still got my copy of Privateers and Gentlemen: A cracking game (with good naval wargames rules included). |

my group played AFTERMATH for years. great game. i'd love to find a RPG group. |

Ever since Jeff Dee and Jack Herman started up Monkey House Games and have claimed ownership of V&V FGU has significantly increased their production. I don't know how the legal battles will resolve, but it's good for consumers as both companies are putting out product. |
