The tileset is now available as part of the cluebook package, available via the GET STUFF! tab above. If you’ve already ordered the cluebook package and would like to download the tile version, please contact us.

Next up is Gen*Con Indy, which runs in Indianapolis from Aug. 5 to 8 and promises to be an even bigger event than Origins. We’ll be in booth #2543 so if you missed us in June drop by and hang out as we peddle our wares and chat about upcoming games and experimental fiction projects we’ve gotten cooking.

Here’s a shot of the booth, with Rabelais holding up the cards and Dr. Zaius holding down the books:

Here’s a shot of Legerdemain’s confused author. I think this was Barley’s, right across the street from Origins.

The fair will be held from Wednesday, June 23rd to Sunday, June 26th. For more details visit http://originsgamefair.com.

You can find out more at the Facebook page for this event, available here: http://bit.ly/c1qMBP

Also a big thanks to all those who responded to our request for an artist. Stay tuned for more updates about this in the near future.

But to widen Legerdemain’s appeal we are looking to add an alternative representation that would render the world in a graphical manner, and for this we need an artist to furnish tiles. If this is something you’d be interested in, please send us an email with your rates and your vision. Precedence will be afforded to candidates with prior gaming credits and/or a deep familiarity with Legerdemain itself. 

In the meantime, you can support us if you haven’t already by purchasing Legerdemain’s official cluebook and Phenomedom world map. Our first edition has almost sold out so grab yourself an original while you can!

Be sure to check out the rest of Brass Lantern while you’re there, as they offer a lot of thought-provoking articles as well as tutorials and reviews of literate adventure games.

We’re looking to tabulate these reports as they come in, so send your winning save game files to legerdemain@bellsouth.net. We’re hoping to build something along the lines of a high score table, indexable by philosophy, number of game turns, date reported, and so on. To our knowledge there are no Logos or Chronos manipulators who have succeeded yet; perhaps you can be the first? Visit the forums if you have ideas or enhancements you’d like to see implemented in this area.

A big thank you, too, for those who’ve been chiming in on the forums recently. There have been a lot of good suggestions raised in recent weeks and we have efforts underway to get these implemented in future versions.

I’d also like to express my sincere thanks to Dr. Ed and Hegemoth this month for their feedback and support. It’s folks like these that ensure indie-game development will have a healthy and exciting future.
