Z-Town, The Fabled Worlds Zombie Solo adventure has just been republished on Amazon.com! I've republished it here because I can make it available for less money than it was originally released at without losing any quality in the printed versions. Everybody wins!

Also, The Zombie Colring & Activity Book has been re-released on Amazon for the same reasons listed above. This new edition has had several pages added from the retro Year Of The Zombie Calendar cos you just can't be too prepared when the undead come scratchin' at your door!

November 2012

I've just released 'Mad' Roy Cram's The Tomb Of Tokirah GM Advure for BEAN! The D2 Role-Playing Game, available on-line at RPGNow. It's a fun little game easily playable in a single night. It's got LOTS of combat and other challenges, and dare I say probably the coolest map I've ever drawn. Be sure to check it out. Did I mention it's FREE?

The BEAN 2013 Calendar is now available! It's got new images, as well as some familiar images that have been colorized just for this project. What a great way to keep track of game nights and other noteworthy events!

Great news for all you BEANsters! We've just released East Of Fabassea by Sid Orpin. This is a great solo adventure that works as a stand-alone game, or as the exciting sequel to Cellars of Castle Cassoulet. This is a great adventure with lots of challenges and great replay value. It's also available in the Sea Of Ash & Dust BUNDLE! which incluses the World Of BEAN! Sourcebook, and The Cellars of Castle Cassoulet!

October 2012

After a long time in production, some recent controversy over the volume's title, and a whole lotta formatting trouble, the sourcebook for my game "BEAN! The D2 RPG" is finally available! WORLD OF BEAN! includes:

-the creation of Terrafavus and the Elder Beans
-Beanfolk physiology
-a discussion of Magic
-the new Shaman and Monk Archetypes
-some new Character races and monsters
-an extravagantly illustrated atlas of the lands
-maps and descriptions of Beanworld's largest city, Khamril-Dahl
-The Beanstiary (on other worlds this would be called a "bestiary")
-and bits of legends and lore tucked in for good measure

It's available at RPGNow.com

Thank you to everyone who generously contributed their time and skills to help polish this thing up and make it far better than I could have produced on my own =) I'm getting really great feedback from everyone who has seen it, especially regarding the maps. So far the book really seems to be doing it's job, namely to inspire others to create their own stories and adventures!

August 2012

Good news on the Transplant issue; I'm officially on the list! Now I've got to keep a phone handy at all times, and when the call comes I'll rush off to Seattle for the big operation. It's been a long time coming, and my wife and I have gone through quite a lot to get this far. This is a major step as we get closer and closer to the big day.

July 2012

Things have been quiet here at JeffWerx for awhile now. The struggle to stay off of dialysis was taking quite a toll on me, and after losing the ability to draw, walk, and think straight, I had to admit that it was time to move on. I spent a week in the hospital, and will now be dialyzing side by side with my wife. They expect my strength to come back in a few months, but I'm expecting it won't take that long -I've got a lot of things to do and these monsters aren't gonna draw themselves!

All personal business aside now, I can say that The Beanworld Sourcebook is in the final stages of editing and should be available soon! It's filled with lots of maps and lore about the world of Bean The D2 Role-Playing Game. I'm proud of this one and really looking forward to sharing it with you =)

MARCH 2012

After several long months I have finally taken what is hopefully the last test for the Transplant work-up. If all goes well I'll soon receive word that I'm offically on the call list! Fingers crossed. Thank you all for your encouragement and support on this venture.

FEBRUARY 2012

I created the cover for The Weekly Volcano's Best Of Olympia 2012 issue and was honored by being voted Olympia's Best Blind Cartoonist!

Click the link to read Jason's explanation, and be sure to check out their website. What a great bunch of people!

SEPTEMBER 2011

I'm very fortunate to be working on some drawings for a fundraiser for The Olympia Film Society (more on this as the project progresses). While doing field work for this project my partner and I received an unexpected gift while walking to the theatre. While we were outside and she was describing some of the colors to me, a guy walked up and asked her if she could describe to me the beautiful picture he had created, and held up a length of broken mirror positioned so that it showed my wife and I. I've no idea who the stranger was, and will likely never see him again, but what a wonderful gift! I just had to share our good fortune with you here =)

AUGUST 2011

GenCon (Aug 16-19, Indianaposis, Indiana) is an annual convention and host for all things gaming, with hundreds of world-class exhibitors and over 11,000 events!

Great News! I'm now on the official candidates list for a Kidney Transplant! Just a few more hoops to jump and then I'll be waiting for "The Call"! Thanks to everyone who's helping to keep me going during these trying times =)

FEBRUARY 2011

(from RPGNow.com)"A powerful earthquake struck New Zealand's already-bruised city of Christchurch on Tuesday, collapsing buildings, burying vehicles under debris and sending rescuers scrambling to help trapped people amid reports of multiple deaths. RPGNow.com and several publishers have teamed up to raise funds to aid those affected by this earthquake." I've donated my Lucha Libre game to this bundle to help raise money for this cause, as have many other game designers. For a $25 donation you'll recieve over $300 worth of games. It's a great deal and all of the money raised goes to a very important cause, but the offer is for a limited time!

BEAN! has made its first Con appearance at Con of the North. Our very own Mike Holcomb (creator of the fun BEAN! adventures 'Princely Ransom' and 'Gone To The Dogs') ran two games of BEAN! on Saturday night, and then gave his copy of the rules to the youngest player. Great way to bring 'em to the fold, Mike! Kudos! (By Paul Ingrassia)

There's a Free Errata for BEAN! With just a few simple additions you can now customize your characters to play in any genre with the same quick and easy rules that have made BEAN so popular. And just so you know, the Revised Edition with these rules plus a few other surprises will be out very soon! You heard it here first!

JANUARY 2011

I've just added a page of my computer games for free download! Check them out on the Computer Games Gaming page.

I'm starting the year out with a cool new FREEBIE for BEAN! The D2 RPG. My friend Ken St. Andre (esteemed game designer and creator of one of the greatest RPGs, Tunnels & Trolls) has generously written a mini-solo for my game! It's called Death Phrogg Attack and it's available for FREE HERE!

Troll Hammer Press has published a series of interviews focused on the Fabled Worlds Games, and we've launched the Fabled Worlds Group at Yahoo as a place to share ideas and discuss the different FW games!

In an effort to streamline my various projects and make it easier for everyone (myself included) to keep track of things, I'm in the process of rebuilding my old site here as www.JeffWerx.com while www.JFreels.com is gradually phased out. I'll try to keep this transition as smooth as possible for everyone, and I really think the end results will be worth it!

"Death Phrogg Attack" the new Mini-Solo Adventure by Ken St. Andre is now up on the BEANpage

The BEANpage is offically open! Find freebies here for BEAN! The D2 RPG and see Beans from other artists!

The latest news on The Zombie Coloring & Activity Book is that it was recently featured as an auction item at The Evergreen State College to benefit our local food bank. Zombies aren't usually associated with healthy eating, but I'm glad my little book could help just a bit =)

I received an email from a librarian in Rawlins, WY asking if I might be able to donate copies of my Zombie Coloring & Activity Book as prizes for her Zombie Reading Program. As I was trying to figure out how I might buy the books, my friends at Trollhalla jumped in and donated enough money to buy the requested books, plus several extra! Huzzah for the heroes of Trollhalla, and for this amazing and innovative reading program!

GAMERS HELPING HAITI! RPGNow.com has put together a special bundle of Gaming PDFs worth about $1500, that you can have for a $20 donation, and All the money earned goes to the Haiti Relief effort. I'm happy to say that GRUMLAHK'S TROLL TALES is one of the products in the bundle! This bundle will be available thru the end of January.
