Biohazard Games will be at the Game Matrix in Lakewood, Washington Friday night 4.8 at 6p to run a demo of our new Upwind RPG. This was sort of an impromptu event so sorry for the late notice. If you would like to participate there is still room at the table so come on down and give the game a try.
You've probably noticed that Biohazard Games has shared publishing rights for Blue Planet with a number of licensees since it's original publication. Most notably Fantasy Flight Games - v2.0 which was shepherded at FFG by Biohazard's own Greg Benage - and most recently with several companies under the auspices of James Sutton, including RedBrick and FASA. Each has done great things with the game and left their own unique marks on the line. Without them, the game would likely have faded away long ago.
That said, as of this week, Blue Planet is now back home with Biohazard. I can't say what this might mean for the future of the line as we are currently up to our gills with producing Upwind, but it is fun to think about the possibilities.
If you have any gaps in your BP book collection, you can purchase any of the titles in PDF form from DriveThru RPG. And by way of celebration, I will send the first 5 people who send me an email to biohazardgamesemail@gmail.com containing the words "Welcome Home Blue Planet" a coupon for a free download of the BP title of their choice. Be sure to include the title of the book you would like to receive.
Welcome home,

Ross Payton and his Role Playing Public Radio crew are generous hosts and a great bunch of guys. During a visit last week we did an interview and I ran an Upwind demo - The Dread Pirate Margit. We had a fun time, the scenario showcased the primary setting and mechanical elements of the game and the coolest bit was that they recorded the session. RPPR will be posting the interview and the actual play in the near future and I will be sure to let you know when that happens so you can give them a listen. In the meantime, check out RPPR and support their show.

Role Playing Public Radio is a great podcast covering all things role playing from topical discussions and product reviews to game design and actual play recordings. Hosted by Ross Payton and crew, RPPR is a valuable, creative and often hilarious resource for role players.
Biohazard Games (well, me anyway) will be joining some of the RPPR crew next week to do some recording and play some games - including an Upwind playtest. If all goes according to plan, you should be able to listen in on some Upwind actual play in the near future.
Check out RPPR, give them a listen and support its good work!
