Get Gutshot at Noble Knight Games

We want to say a big "Howdy" to our newest retailer, Noble Knight Games. Aaron and the fine fellas over there are now carrying Gutshot and -- for the first time ever -- our Deadwood miniatures and our Lethal Ladies Gunfighters miniatures. In short, they are carrying all of our Gutshot and Gutshot: Night of the Living Deadwood material.

Noble Knight is one of the coolest online stores we know of. Not only do they carry the latest games, but they also stock hard-to-find games that have been out of print for ages. Heck, they even have more than one copy of TSR's original Boot Hill game available (I'd snatch it up in a second if I had an extra $150 burning a hole in my pocket).

To visit them, check 'em out on the Web: www.nobleknight.com

PS: We just shipped our stuff to Noble Knight, so it may take a few days to show up in their catalog.

Our Prayers Are With Them...

Arnica: Some Adobe buildings go on sale next week

Just thought I would give you guys a heads-up and let you know that 3-5 of the Arnica Real Estate Adobe buildings will be available for pre-sale next week.

We will definitely have:
- Casa Uno
- Casa Dos
- Cantina

We will probably have:
- Adobe Church
- Adobe Storefront

Not sure about the Belltower.

Here's a list of the buildings: http://arnicarealestate.com/cart_catHome.asp?ppcID=2

New photos will be added as they become available.

As I said, we just wanted to give fellow TMPers a heads-up on this cool upcoming release.

Blog Update: Making a few changes

Back in February, I made a decision to start a Hawgleg Blog and update it twice a week -- Tues & Thurs. My goal (and this is one of the few times I'm saying "I" instead of "we," because this was something I wanted to do, rather than doing it with my partners) was to give you guys more of a behind-the-scenes look at what we're doing and what's coming next from Hawgleg Publishing.

My commitment was to try blogging for three months and see if it helped accomplish those goals.

Well... time's up and I'm not 100% satisfied with the results. I think the simple truth is, I've accomplished the quantity but not the quality. Keeping this schedule isn't really giving me the time to create high-quality content. At least not and let me focus on the other projects we're working on.

So, for now, I'm going to cut back to making posts when I've got something important or interesting to say. I still might manage once a week, but I'm not committing to a specific schedule. For the next three months I'm going to focus on Quality, not Quantity. Other than that, my goals remain unchanged: I want to give you more behind-the-scenes info and post Work In Progress images and material.

In other words, I want to make this blog fun and factual.

Thanks for your support so far, and see ya back here soon.

Artwork Update

Today I took a break from a few things and decided to work on some artwork. I'm not really in love with the pose I selected, but that's not really the point. I was more interested in technique and working with the software today than in the final results.

Right now this is just a Work In Progress (WIP), but when I finish it this image will probably wind up in one of our books in the future.

Click to see full sized.

For this sample, I added the brown tint and the brown squares just to give it a sense of balance. The final artwork will -- of course -- be printed only in black & white.

See you here next week!

Arnica: Starting on the Adobe Buildings

Not much to report today, except to say that I'm starting work on the molds for the adobe collection. I think I'm going to start with the smaller buildings -- the Casas -- and then move up from there. If all goes well, I'll be posting some work-in-progress photos shortly.

Coming Soon!
