What's New? My not-so-complete list of site changes. Hardly a day goes by that I'm not tinkering with the site in some fashion. The vast majority of the changes don't get recorded here. Got a question? Contact Us ...and "Us" on this site refers to me -- Wayne -- and my family. No, I dont have multiple personalities. ;>) Anyhow... 4/8/08 Reorganized the Call of Cthulhu pages. Now Pagan Publishing and Unspeakable Oath have their own pages. 2/23/08 Holy Cow! Spent about 7 hours today working on a major facelift to the site, something I've wanted to do for a long time. By way of reference, here's an obsolete page to compare the style before today. Objectives: a) Clean up the "look." Remove all the WWB logos cluttering the background. Organize the site-wide links, move them up into the mast-head. Move the Google site search box to the masthead. b) Introduce the new WAYNE'S BOOKS logo with the subtitle "& Old School Games" which is about 80% of my business nowdays. Logo has a notation "RPG Reference" for the benefit of those visitors that seem to think I stock every single game shown on this site. Also added a prominent link in the masthead to my online store. 2/1/08 Created the Game of Thrones page, in support of D20 gaming in Westeros. 1/10/08 On a roll here. Created the Leading Edge Games root page. Aliens now has its own page. 1/8/08 Created the West End Games root page and split Chivalry & Sorcery from its former spot on the FGU page. 1/5/08 Created the Steve Jackson Games root page and split Car Wars from its former spot on the GURPS page. Split Tri Tac Games from it's former spot at the bottom of the Morrow Project page. It was time. 1/3/08 Split Powers & Perils and Dune from their former spot on the Avalon Hill page. 11/12/07 Chaosium gets its own page now. 11/6/07 Split off Harpoon game from the GDW page. Between the GDW and Clash of Arms releases, Harpoon deserved a page of its own. Ironic, actually, since the GDW page began its life as a Harpoon webpage. Harpoon was first, later joined by many other GDW products. I eventually renamed the page as GDW. Now Harpoon has come full circle. 10/26/07 Split the Babylon 5 page. Babylon 5 Wars is an enormous game line, and was consuming the B5 page... and I haven't even started on the minis! 10/18/07 Finally started a reorganization I've been eyeing for quite some time: Moving RPG companies to the end of the site map. I've had a couple of RPG companies mixed in with the game line links for a while, but now I'm adding, moving, and repurposing the company pages. The RPG company pages will be of course a central point for links to that company's games. The company pages will also be the "dustpan" for one-shot games that don't deserve their own web page. The Fantasy Games Unlimited (FGU) page is a good example. It was my first company page I believe, been around quite a while. But even then, I used it as a "catch-all" FGU page, adding any game which didn't have more than a few accessory books. (And FGU realeased a torrent of games in the '80s!) So I'm just expanding on that idea. Big time. My plan is to establish pages dedicated to each 1st and 2nd tier RPG company of the past in the next few weeks. This will clean out the Boardgames / Wargames dumping page, as well as Miscellanea page to a lesser extent. I've never liked those pages, and this will cut them back some. I split up the TSR/SPI page. I realized it was rude to pair SPI with the company that bought, then absorbed the gaming legend in the mid-'80s. The FASA page is brand new. Much more to come! 10/14/07 Added the Tribe 8 role playing game. 9/29/07 Added the Nightlife roleplaying game series. Been reorganizing pages, renamed a few. Trying to get the organization to make sense. 7/26/07 Added the 7th Sea page. 7/22/07 Been adding a lot of content spread out over many pages. Added a LOT of content to Spanish-language White Wolf page. Check it out! I added an embryonic Tekumel page; I'll add more items as I come across them. 12/11/03 The business is requiring more of my time during the holiday season, which is the primary reason for the lack of major updates. However, I'm constantly making minor changes that don't really require a note, and I always answer my email! I added a new game for Doctor Who fans: The way-out-of-print Doctor Who RPG by FASA. 11/10/03 Still re-doing the formatting of the pages, which doesn't really merit a "What's New" entry. I also added a game supplement series: Midkemia Press 10/23/03 I've been slowly re-doing the formatting of the pages into a cleaner, quicker-loading style. I also added a game I found, "Freedom Fighters," to the Delta Force page. 10/16/03 I heavily re-worked the main pages of two of my favorite games: Twilight: 2000 and 2300 AD. 10/10/03 Larry Elmore fans -- Check out: Sovereign Stone. 10/09/03 Introducing my first "Super Hero" RPG: Marvel Super Heroes. 10/07/03 A new game possibility: Willow. Make a game using background from the fantasy movie by George Lucas. 09/30/03 A new game genre: Atlantis. 09/29/03 Two new games: Amazing Engine and Amber Diceless. I'm also developing a GURPS section, but it will take a while before it amounts to anything. 09/25/03 For quite some time, I've had a stack of random RPG accessories. I finally listed them on Amazon, and dedicated a page to them here: Miscellanea - Oddball & Curious RPGs. I've also conducted various site tweaks, too numerous to mention here. 09/16/03 I added new games: Fading Suns, GURPS World War II, and GURPS Historical games. I also did some work on the Krakow RPGs page. 09/10/03 I added a new FRPG Palladium Fantasy. Revamped The Babylon Project page as well. 09/06/03 The layout of my home page has been bothering me for months. I kept playing with the elements, but was never quite satisfied. This morning, I had an eureka! moment, and everything fell into place. I created a new RPG page, Robotech. It's a game based on the popular Japanese animated series. Out-of-print, but easily available at modest prices. 09/03/03 I added much new material to the Morrow Project page. 08/21/03 I added a science fiction RPG: Space Master. 08/14/03 I added a fine para-military RPG: Millennium's End. Also cleaned-up the look of my home page. 08/09/03 Here's a fantasy RPG that had pretty much escaped my notice until recently: Earthdawn. 08/06/03 Ready to do some terrorist-busting? Check out my latest RPG addition: Delta Force. 07/31/03 Added the classic Dungeons & Dragons game line. Whew! Check out: 07/17/03 Added a game line to the "World of Darkness" setting: Hunter: The Reckoning. 07/13/03 Introducing a whole new department: Wayne's Other Worlds. I envision it as a place to devote space to some of my favorite interests. Right now, that involves Babylon 5, the epic science fiction series. In the future, many more subjects will make their appearance here, so keep checking back! 07/10/03 Revamped the Twilight: 2000 & Traveller pages. I'd been ignoring them since I introduced the pages. 07/05/03 Added the Talislanta game. "NO ELVES!!" 07/03/03 Did some minor tinkering around with the site, including a face-lift to the Forgotten Realms page. Check out Druwēzza! 06/27/03 For Horror fans I added another RPG, Bram Stoker's Dracula. 06/17/03 Added another classic RPG, Lords of Creation. 06/16/03 Added Twilight: 2000 & 2300AD pages of downloads. This is material I've used in my own campaigns over the years. I have more, but I need to find it first. 06/10/03 Added Middle Earth Role Playing, an out-of-print product line by Iron Crown Enterprises (ICE). They had the Tolkien license during the Eighties and Nineties... some very impressive work. 06/04/03 Added 2 game lines to the "World of Darkness" setting: Wraith: The Oblivion & Changeling: The Dreaming. 06/03/03 Completed the AD&D listings by adding Al-Qadim & Lankhmar game settings. 06/01/03 Got a little Post-Apocalyptic Fever and added Aftermath! & The Morrow Project games. 05/17/03 Added the first of many games in the World of Darkness series by White Wolf ... Vampire: The Masquerade. Also revamped the Finding RPG's FAQ page. 05/14/03 Redesigned the Krakow RPG's main page. The selection of games is only getting larger, making a general list at left unwieldly. So I indexed the titles by genre. Some games will be in more than one genre. 05/09/03 Added Mythus - Dangerous Journeys & Space Opera / Other Suns to Krakow RPG's. Also added a Russian section to Wayne's eTower of Babel 05/01/03 Added Ars Magica Mythic Europe Role Playing in Krakow RPG's. 04/26/03 Added the Dark Sun Campaign Setting for AD&D. 04/24/03 Added a new game to Krakow RPG's, Call of Cthulhu, the premier Horror Role Playing Game. Also added Star Frontiers and GangBusters 04/19/03 Added a new department, Wayne's eTower of Babel, a Foreign Language information source, as well as connections to my foreign language editions for sale at Amazon. 04/09/03 Site Roll-Out -- Finally!! | Return Home | What's New | Contact WaynesBooks.com | |
