Mail Call From The 1940s
While watching an episode of Unsolved Mysteries circa 1988 (as one does), I came across a story about V-mail from World War II. Short for "Victory Mail," it was a process used by the United States in which mail was sorted, photographed, and turned into microfilm. The microfilm was shipped where...
A Great Tool For Groo Fans
Shortly after we shipped Groo: The Game, Irene Zielinski came up with a component that we really wished we had included. It's a quick-start guide that boils game setup down to one page. One LARGE-PRINT page. It turns an easy setup into an unspeakably quick and easy one. Alas, the time...
Tell Me What's In The Box . . . The 3D Printing De-Supporting Box
I've mentioned my 3D de-supporting kit before, and people have asked what's actually in it. Hopefully, this will answer some of the questions and serve as a good starting point for people just getting into 3D printing. My contents vary over time as I find better tools for the job,...
Oh, Is The Future Coming Again? [Sigh]

Each year, Steve Jackson Games celebrates you with epic savings on classic titles from our catalogue, like In Nomine, The Fantasy Trip, Dungeon Fantasy, and of...
You Must Acquire The Four Keys Of Plotdevicia . . .
I'm a casual fan of the LockPickingLawyer YouTube channel, in that I feel compelled to watch any video that crosses my path but I haven't exactly scoured the back catalog. Still, I just learned about a very cool lock conceptually, and – even though the video's 5 years old –...
Happy In Atlanta
I'm pretty well moved in. And it was a massive effort, but I'm glad I did it. I think this is a better city to retire in, when that day comes, and I know that I'm in a better spot for who I am right now. I will miss a...
