8/29/10: The Kingdom Builder II is now released! Generate kingdoms full of hooks, plus laws, armies, fashions, and more. Also, thanks to everyone who sent in suggestions for the Suggestion Contest - you'll be seeing more than a few of them in upcoming products and generators.

8/5/10: I'm hard at work perfecting the Kingdom Builder II, with a bunch of brand new gens, including some suggested by fans of the original Kingdom Builder.
And speaking of suggestions, that's the theme of my new contest: the Suggestion Contest. Email me a suggestion for Chaotic Shiny Productions - anything from a product you'd like to see, someone you think I should collaborate with, a new newsletter feature, even another contest - and get entered to win a free copy of the Kingdom Builder II, plus any other prizes I feel like giving out. Every separate suggestion counts as a separate entry - but only if you number them; I don't want to try and figure out how many suggestions are in a paragraph of ideas. I'll draw one winner randomly, and pick another one out of my favourites. And if there's enough cool suggestions, who knows what you could win? Maybe a custom generator pack made just for you. Contest runs through 8/20/10.

6/26/10: The Martial Cultures series has almost wrapped up now with the release of MC: The Daikort Pack.

In other happy news, Newbie DM posted a favorable mini-review of the Treasure Hoard pack late last week.

1/1/10: Happy New Year! Chaotic Shiny Productions isn't yet a year old, but in the time it's been around, I've learned a lot. One of the things I've learned is that my orignal business plan is not going to work. Reviewers and fans have spoken, and they've all said the same thing: lower your prices. So I am.

As part of the New Year, New Plan initiative, I am drastically lowering prices - Martial Flavor is now only $14.95, and the Martial Cultures books will each be only $4.95. That's an entire culture for less than five dollars, or five cultures for less than three dollars each!

So what are you waiting for? It's a new year; help make this new plan a success. And by the way, if you've already bought one of our products, check your email; there's a discount coupon waiting there for the price difference.
