Hey gang!

Wow, another new podcast already!

Tonight’s episode of the Vigilance Press Podcast gives Jon Leitheusser and Professor Christopher McGlothlin time to talk about some upcoming Mutants and Masterminds projects. We talk about the Gadget Guides PDF series, the DC Adventures Universe book, the Emerald City slipcase collection, the 10th Anniversary Edition of the Hero’s Handbook, and the upcoming Cosmic Handbook! Brace yourselves for over an hour of “Good Times” with two of the best-known Green Ronin as they dish out some never-before-heard details from the upcoming books! We also ramble on about comic books and movies, but with the Professor on board, you can’t fault us for doing so. 🙂

Happy Chinese New Year! It’s the Year of the Snake, and Vigilance Press is back on the air! Click the picture to the left to go to our podcast site. 🙂

This podcast covers our upcoming SixGun release (In final layout now) in detail, and we also talk about gaming at conventions and writing short-form adventures as compared to longer form adventures. Rick Jones and Yad-Ming Mui are my gusts. We also outline the publishing schedule for upcoming Vigilance Press releases. A new podcast should follow soon! Happy 2013 everyone!

Greetings, True Believers! Vigilance Press publisher James Dawsey (me) will be at this weekend’s Ohayo-Con in Columbus, Ohio! You can find me in the Anime Artist’s Alley sitting next to the incomparable Denise Jones (of Tianxia and Arthur Lives! fame). Come on out, get pictures drawn, or pick up a physical copy of one of our RPG products! I’m also hoping to run some demo games in the Gaming Room, if things work out. I’ll also be happy to answer questions about upcoming products from Vigilance Press (as far as those which have been announced) and to talk gaming and art.

We hope to see you there!

If you’re trying to reach us or leave comments on the website this week/ weekend, keep in mind we’ll be away at the convention. 🙂

Greetings, Internet Neighbors, my name is James Dawsey and I am the owner and Publisher at Vigilance Press. The New Year is finally upon us, and I can’t wait to get started with it, but I didn’t want to let this opportunity go by without recognizing everything that we’ve done in 2012. This blog may be a bit longer than my normal posts, and it’s going to be a bit more of a personal letter from me to you, but I hope there is something in here for everyone. I’ll be making some announcements in this letter too, so if you’ll indulge me, I’ll get around to those in a bit.

I’m very excited to welcome yet another new artist to the list of incredible talents I’ve had a chance to work with this year!

Otis has shared the final artwork, but he’s also given me permission to share with you how he tackled each step of the production in picture form!

Tonight’s podcast brings together Jason Tondro, Jack Norris, Rick Jones, and Aaron Sullivan for a powerhouse discussion on upcoming Vigilance Press products! We also answer some fan questions and discuss some finer points of GM’ing a campaign- NPC Character concepts, adventure design, and more!

Check it out for previews of several projects, including METAs; Rogues, Rivals, and Renegades, and More!

Also check our our latest Print on Demand offering from Create Space here: Black Chapter! (Also available on Amazon.com- search for “Due Vigilance” and it’ll pop up)

Sign up for our 4-hour Demo game at next week’s Infrno.net here! 

(Unfortunately, I mis-spoke in describing the METAs project, it is in layout but the first issue will only contain the first collection of the original 30 slots that people bought. Sorry for the confusion! The other characters will appear in the coming issues, and anyone who bought into the project will receive the first three PDFs free!)

To celebrate the release of the Black Chapter PDF, and upcoming Print on Demand release, we’ve dropped the print on demand price for the original Due Vigilance: The Oktobermen by 4 dollars! That’s right, you can get Due Vigilance Issue 1: The Oktobermen in Print for $9.99 from CreateSpace or RPGNow and Drive-Thru RPG as of now! Check out the special combo deal at RPGNow to get the bundle with the PDF and Hero Lab files for only 4 dollars more than the book!

I’m very pleased to announce the launch of Due Vigilance: Black Chapter! The latest in our series of building-block books for your superhero setting!
