The Egg Has Hatched!

One Bad Egg, LLC is a new venture from the folks at Evil Hat Productions and Blue Devil Games to rock your Dungeons & Dragons Fourth Edition experience. Over the next few years, you’ll see One Bad Egg produce a series of quality PDF products (including our Worldseeds™ line) with an eye on giving you lots of fun new options for your game. We’ll also be turning those PDFs into printed books when we achieve critical mass, whether by popular demand or quantity of ideas.

So what might you get from a One Bad Egg product?

For one, you won’t see us churning out laundry lists of magic items and endless hordes of feats. At One Bad Egg, we’re committed to supercharging your game with non-stop story ideas. We are the company that looks at a Ring of Invisibility and is unsatisfied until that ring gains a story and becomes the One Ring. That’s the kind of thing we’re talking about here.

You’ll also see us rebooting the idea of what game supplements have to be about. We’re looking to collaborate with you as brother and sister gamers, not constrain you. As you’ll see with our Worldseeds™ line, we’re going for something highly modular here- a drag-and-drop setting material experience. Buy what you like, discard the rest. We won’t weigh you down with massive metaplots and huge settings that tell DMs “be careful: your story might diverge from ours.” We’re here to tell you, “Here is high octane fuel for the engine of your own story. Now go driving.

And whenever possible, we’ll invite you “behind the curtain” to see what we’re doing. There’s no old-school paranoia going on here. We welcome the public, and want to collaborate with you. Because at the end of the day, we game because we love it, and we know you do too. Join us!

    Awesome. I’m stoked to hear that you guys will be creating products for 4th. I’m sure they will rock!

    This is my “Dammit, I shoulda put money on this one” face.

    I’m terribly glad to see you guys putting together a band, even if the jam’s not really targeted to my ears (as I’m not a D&D guy by any means). Still, you good folk have earned a lot of trust and egoboo and I’m interested in seeing how you spend it.

    Ah, so that’s what all the cagey references were about over the past few weeks…

    Looks like fun, guys. You’ve got my attention.

    Oh, and if there’s no old-school Paranoia, does that mean we’re playing XP?

    This sounds like a great idea - and i’m saying that as someone who has been playing D&D for 10 years without ever buying or playing a pre-packaged adventure!

    This egg may get me to chow down on some 4e once and for all. Congrats and good luck.

    Nice! Someone needed to do this, badly, and you’re just the crew.

  8. Jack Colby, October 2, 2008:

    Well, congrats on trying something different. I don’t particularly want someone giving me story elements (that’s the job of me and my players to create) but I’m sure someone out there wants just this.

    Feed me, Seymour. What can I say? I’ve just started a new campaign, and I can’t believe how sweet this game is playing. Having been a long-time listener of your podcast(s), I’m equally excited to see where you’ll go with this great new engine. Good Gaming!
