July: Cursed King off to pre-print!
Well it LOOKS like the final “see p. XX” has been turned into a “see p.54”, and the final bit of art that looked frustratingly pixellated on-screen has been test-printed on the home printer and looks fine there… so we have hit the button and sent the files to DriveThruRPG for their pre-print process. As…

The Legend of Artos the Warlord
(This is a guest post by new-ish Serpent King Games staff member Brunnhilde Przibram Sturrock; a close reading of “Warrior Kings”, a classic Dave Morris videogame) I began my time with Warrior Kings, an overlooked Medieval-fantasy Real-Time Strategy game from the 2000s inspired by Arthurian legend, while playing a whole different overlooked Medieval-fantasy Real-time Strategy…

The much-delayed June update
First up, apologies, again! I kept waiting in hopes of having the truly positive news that we had Cursed King ready to release any day now. We do not, quite, still have Cursed King ready to release any day now. It’s super, super close… What’s happened since the last update is, Rowan has gotten the…

March update: Cursed King etc.
Well we didn’t hit the planned February release. Should have taken a leaf out of the software industry and said Q1… Feb is always a tough one in the North of England, what with low energy, at least some hints of S.A.D. no matter how many Vitamin D supplements you down, and only 28 days…

February update: Cursed King and Summoner’s Tale
We are, clearly, slightly behind schedule (again!) on Cursed King. Remind me never to sign off on a book with “cursed” in the name, again. It’s so close! Rowan has been working hard on the layout and we’re very nearly ready to sign off on the whole project… There’s two slight hitches at this point:…

End of year update, 2024
As usual we were a little over-optimistic, but here’s how things stand: Cursed KingOh, gosh, why did we ever agree a project with “Cursed” as part of the title! Heh. We have made significant progress but as you might gather this is no longer getting released in October 2024. It is absolutely on the cusp…

September 2024 update!
First up — sorry for the delay. This has always been a less-than-part-time, squeezing the work in around our full-time jobs, kind of job. Secondly, we are starting to change that. With yet more staff changes! Chris Robins Kennish has left due to other projects — thanks for all your hard work Chris K. Rowan…

Dragonmeet today!
We have a stall at Dragonmeet in London right now, shared with the lovely Red Ruin, publishers of the Casket of Fays zine. I won’t be there (it’s too far to travel in term time really) but SKG artist Chris Catterall will, showing off the art for The Cursed King. Come say hi. The Cursed…

SKG update, July 2021
(EDIT: looks like WordPress messes with the proportions of pictures; please click on each to get the correct appearance!) “How are things going, Ian?”“Aaaargh!” It’s not as bad as all that. Been a busy and tough year though. I don’t need to tell you that, do I. As I write this, I’m self-isolating for the…

Brymstone
“Making for Brymstone are you?” the innkeeper asked. “They’re a sly lot there – have the silver out of your purse and the boots off your feet as soon as look at you. Give themselves airs too – though they’re no better nor I.” He looked anxiously at the already darkening sky. “Just stay on…
