Nuke the entire site from orbit – it’s the only way to be sure
Posted by Rampant Coyote on April 28, 2014
I feel like a guy who decided he had been pushing his luck for too many years without having a fire extinguisher in his kitchen, and goes out to buy one… only to have his kitchen burn down while he’s off at the store buying the fire extinguisher. Or something. I finally got to my […]

Rampant Coyote’s Best Posts of 2013
Posted by Rampant Coyote on December 31, 2013
So here it is, the last day of 2013. Time for me to start accidentally back-date forms and checks to the previous year again. I thought I’d visit my stats and see what posts actually resonated with people and grabbed the most visitors. Interestingly, my most popular blog post from twelve months ago was actually […]

Rampant Games’ Official Stance on “Let’s Play” Videos
Posted by Rampant Coyote on December 13, 2013
I thought I’d done something official about this already, but if I did, consider this a reiteration of my stance on Let’s Play videos: I love ’em. Please go ahead and make a Let’s Play video of Frayed Knights – or my ancient game Void War, if you really want to… Just make sure appropriate […]

Why I don’t review games – but I do want to talk about them
Posted by Rampant Coyote on November 4, 2013
I haven’t said it in a while, so I guess it needs to be mentioned again: I don’t really do game reviews here. I will do quick takes – little thoughts on a game as I play. And if something really grabs my fancy, or pisses me off, I may discuss it. Sometimes if something […]

Reminder: Guest Posts Wanted
Posted by Rampant Coyote on September 16, 2013
Hey folks – I’m heading out of the country this weekend (Friday), and can probably use all the help I can get as far as blog posts are concerned. I’m queuing up what I can, but as my community often seems more knowledgeable and skilled as I am anyway, I will appreciate any further submissions […]

Nuking BlueSnap
Posted by Rampant Coyote on June 14, 2013
I’m going to be officially canceling my account with BlueSnap (formerly Plimus) in the next few days. They’ve got some new policies that make them a very poor partner for low-volume indies (and courtesy of The Long Tail, since I quit using them as a primary distribution partner a long time ago, I’m permanently low-volume). […]

Downtime and Time in France
Posted by Rampant Coyote on May 14, 2013
Hey folks, Due to some problems with my hosting provider and a failure on my part to schedule today’s post in advance, today’s post will post tomorrow. I guess it kinda balances out with a bonus post on Sunday. I apologize for the downtime today, but apparently my provider was under external attack. Ugly. I’ll […]

A Very Special Frayed Knights 2 Gift…
Posted by Rampant Coyote on April 12, 2013
Okay, guys, we’re entering into the final stretch on the sale for Frayed Knights: The Skull of S’makh-Daon, here and on Desura. I’m worried not everybody that would be interested in about it have heard about it. Actually, that’s not a worry, that’s an overwhelming element of reality. So for this weekend, I’m gonna make […]

From Whom Much Is Given, Much Is Demanded
Posted by Rampant Coyote on April 11, 2013
The ideas people have come up with for completely useless psychic powers yesterday was a source of amusement all day long. Thank you!

Tactical Telepathicness … Telepathicity? Telepathitude?
Posted by Rampant Coyote on April 10, 2013
So my birthday was just over a week ago. And I’m still doing stuff about it. Yeah, that’s pretty much how I roll when it comes to schedules and deadlines. The sale continues, and the give-away continues. Yesterday we had three people win copies of the outstanding RPG / TD hybrid, Defender’s Quest. Apparently, the […]

Defender’s Quest! You Got Your Tower Defense in my RPG!
Posted by Rampant Coyote on April 9, 2013
I’m a sucker for Tower Defense games. It’s sort of a subgenre of Real Time Strategy games (which I’m also a fan of, but I don’t have the devotion to play very competitively). In fact, I have heard that they got their start as user-created mods / levels for Warcraft III and other RTS games. […]

Is it an Original Sin, or Simply Forsaken Virtue?
Posted by Rampant Coyote on April 8, 2013
The sale on Frayed Knights: The Skull of S’makh-Daon continues this week, for 50% off here and on Desura. Just in case you were wondering, unlike Sim City or Diablo III or the rumored next-gen XBox, Frayed Knights never requires you to be online in order to play. I’m getting to the point where I’m […]

Posted by Rampant Coyote on April 4, 2013
My birthday is over, but the party continues! Frayed Knights: The Skull of S’makh-Daon is on sale for 50% off right now via this site, and also Desura. Even though I’ve been at the indie thing for a long time and know how it works, I’m still surprised at how many people I’d expect to […]

Wow! First off, I want to thank everybody who sent me birthday well-wishes yesterday through all kinds of different methods. You guys rock. I appreciate it. For the record – in spite of it being a workday at Ye Olde Day Job (I need to sell a LOT more games to leave that one behind), […]
