Today members of the UK roleplaying community paid their last respects to Les Hedges. Les, who passed away on the 16th, was a stalwart of the UK convention and Living campaign scene. I first met Les when I was on the Sarbreenar committee and he immediately struck me as the sort of person who would lighten up anyone’s day. Something that proved to be the case in character as well with his Forgotten Realms priest of Lathander (the god of light in that campaign world). Many a convention heard the echo of Les praising, in character, Lathander and it always brought a smile to my face.
Tonight I raise a glass in Les’ memory. Rest in peace my friend.
Triple Ace Games (TAG) is pleased to announce All for One: Régime Diabolique, a swashbuckling action-horror-intrigue game set in the age of the Three Musketeers. Powered by the award winning Ubiquity role-playing system created by Exile Game Studio, All for One contains all the rules you need to play. The book is scheduled for a June release.

Cubicle 7 Entertainment Ltd is a British based publisher of Tabletop Roleplaying Games, Board and Card games. They currently have a very good team of freelance artists whom they use on a regular basis, but are looking at expanding the pool as they have a number of current and future projects which they could use some additional artists on.
Within the next few days two new releases for Traveller will be hitting the shelves of your local games stores – the long-awaited Spinward Marches Map Pack and the giant 1,001 Characters.
Department 7, Cubicle 7 Entertainment’s official demo team, is recruiting.
They’re looking to strengthen their demo teams with people interested in running, and teaching, our games at conventions, clubs and game stores in their local areas and at regional and national games conventions.
They, along with our publishing partners, now produce a wide variety of games and are adding more all the time. To date they’ve been exclusively publishing Roleplaying Games but they’re also complimenting these with card and board games in the future.
Mongoose have three new releases heading towards your local stores this week – for Judge Dredd, there is the first of the gorgeous looking Mega-City Archives (covering the Justice Department), for Strontium Dog, Bounties & Warrants, and for Paranoia the ever-useful Forms Pack.
