Books
D'Aprile's Fools (Tellest Series)
Michael DeAngelo has spun yards of tales for over a decade (officially; unofficially it's been closer to two decades!) for the world he created—Tellest. In recent years, DeAngelo has injected more experimental storytelling into the universe. April Fools jokes are a staple on Tellest's website. He also features tales centered around Halloween and Christmas. The latter holiday is where DeAngelo gets a bit more personal with his stories, yet they still end up being pretty fantastical. However, when it comes to the first few months of every year, the author puts much of his resources into the latest April Fools gag(s) for Tellest. But, are they just gags? Not with his latest release, D'Aprile's Fools.
The very real novel started with a simple April Fools joke. Bixby Alladocious started off as an April Fools joke several years ago. From there, DeAngelo spun off a couple of short stories and used Bixby as inspiration for what would become D'Aprile's Fools. When all the heroes have been taken, fools will have to do. Frederic D’Aprile and Bixby set forth to put together Tellest's newest set of heroes. The only problem is, these heroes have some not so heroic powers. Can they turn fools into gold?

Lethal Keystrokes
Johnny May’s Biology degree, his years at IBM as a programmer analyst, and his three decades as a practicing Medical Doctor uniquely qualify him to write this book. He knows people, he knows science and he knows computer systems. He also has a boundless imagination.
As a singer-songwriter, he has written songs for well-known Canadian artists and has released two CDs and a recent single “This Way” which is popular on YouTube.
His time is divided between his rural farm property near Toronto and the south of France.
In Lethal Keystrokes, America’s vulnerability is its hidden fanatics, those individuals who harbor fury, grief, and a driving desire for revenge. While blending in with their neighbors, co-workers, and customers, they plot the demise of their country. They have a network. They have resources. And they have the courage to make it happen.

The Standoff Roleplaying System
The Standoff Roleplaying System is a new roleplaying game meant to cover many different genres and styles of play. Specifically created with its own emulator, the system is great for solo play. A fun and kinetic dice pool system resolves actions in moments and, as a result, combat and scenes of high tension feel create an interesting gravity that replaces tedium and rules-lawyering that can be inherent to some systems.
Created by C.E. Patrick, the Standoff Roleplaying System is just the first part of a much larger scale project. With the core mechanics, players can play and tell their own stories. Patrick has plans on releasing modules for both solo and group play; starting with a fantasy supplement.

Beneath the Mountain
Beneath the Mountain is a dwarven city-builder and real-time strategy game. Mine your way into the mountain, discover gold and silver, construct buildings, recruit an army, build traps, and defeat the vile creatures that lurk in the dark caves of the mountain. Most importantly, find the heart of the mountain before the orcs destroy your kingdom.
BTM is being developed by Max Arnheiter, who takes his love of games like Age of Empires, Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale, and more inspired his sense of fantasy storytelling. Realizing that most real-time strategy games all take an offensive mindset, he designed Beneath the Mountain with a defensive first strategy, using games like They are Billions as the basis for that mode. Not only has Arnheiter made what he feels is his most successful game to date, but he's built a community that has given more back to him than he ever expected.
