One Hundred Posts and We are MIGHTY! (plus free stuff)
Written by Jeff Carlsen on 2010/03/12 – 00:00 -Some men can break bricks with their hands. Wimps.
Some men have stared down lions. Cowards.
For we have achieved the impossible: one hundred posts without missing a day. We take Zero Compromise very seriously here, and this is just some small evidence of it.
What have we done with these posts? We’ve brought you all the Savage Worlds news you can eat, and then written a primer to teach you how to digest it. We’ve taught you how to build a character by lashing him to a wheel. We’ve given you a massive nine post guide to introducing a new player to your game. We’ve even confided in you our deepest, darkest secrets.
A clever reader, and our readers are the smartest in the industry, will notice that I’ve only linked to posts I’ve written. Tyson J. Hayes has his own pile of fantastic posts. In fact, he’s been spearheading this blog for weeks now while we work in the background on our secret and profound roleplaying products. The work he does is phenomenal, but that doesn’t mean he gets a free ride. He is currently being crushed under the weight of his own grand experiment–writing about the cruel subjects that you have foisted upon him.
What’s in it for you?
The next one hundred posts must be better than the last. Thus far, we have explicitly avoided discussing the games we’re currently playing in or writing any sort of fiction, because we don’t believe you care. But at the same time, while we’ve provided thoughts and advice, we have yet to give you any game content. Nothing you can use today. That will change. Right now.
Apathy Games Savage Worlds Character Sheet 1.0 (.pdf)
This seven page, black and white, and very printer friendly character sheet is for those of you who put serious detail into your characters. Print as much of it as you need. If you’re not playing Savage Worlds, everything but the first page is system agnostic.
I hope you enjoy this sheet. If you have any comments or criticisms, let me know in the comments.
In the meantime, here’s to the next twenty-seven posts! Tonight, we celebrate with BEER! (we swear, they’re not paying us, we just love this beer. If you love beer too, check out Tyson J. Hayes’s side project, The Snooty Drunks).

Zero Compromise Beer
Written by Paul von Meerscheidt on 2010/01/14 – 00:08 -
Zero Compromise Roleplaying requires a Zero Compromise beer.
We here at Apathy Games find that there is only one beer that truly satisfies our requirements, and that beer is Arrogant Bastard Ale . A beer designed to offend and insult, it comes with a rambling tirade against the evils of wimpy yellow beer across the entire back of its 22.5 oz bottle, and a cap which proudly proclaims “You’re not worthy”; this is truly “one lacerative mother of a beer”.
Carrying a healthy 7.2% alcohol by volume and a rating on the International Bitterness scale so high it is classified, Arrogant Bastard Ale is truly the beer for people who know what they want, and will accept nothing less. For those of us at Apathy Games, this is a perfect match. Other beers flirt with our attentions, and may captivate our interest for short periods of time, but inevitably have words such as “blend”, “compromise”, or “balance” on their label. These terms indicate that the brewers were unwilling to really put themselves or their product out there. They were willing to settle for second best.
The people at Stone Brewing are unwilling to make similar compromises, and so are we.

Ringing in the New Year with drinks and games
Written by Tyson J. Hayes on 2009/12/31 – 08:00 -As the year winds to a close and our second month of blogging comes to an end we here at Apathy Games find ourselves a little celebratory. So when you hunker down to game find yourself a worthy drink to go with it.
Dirty Martini – The perfect adult beverage, it has class poise and says that you are awesome. Combine with a prop pistol, a Savage variation of a Bond game, and then shake to taste.
Arrogant Bastard – You are not worthy of this drink, it’ll come right for you kick you in the balls and shag your mother before you have a chance to get back up. Take a tankard of this, the Super Powers Companion and punch it right back.
Captain Jack Sparrow– With this drink in hand you’ll be swashbuckling across the Spanish Main. Once everyone is liquored up you’ll be plundering and ravaging the nearby neighborhood. Just remember, your car is not armored to ram other cars, please don’t try it.
The Six Shooter – Start exploring the weird west with this drink. While it’ll get you some funny looks in Deadlands you’ll be able to gun them down before they get to ask why your drinking such a sissy drink.
Blue Champagne Cocktail – This alien looking drink will blend in perfectly with a Slipstream
How do you plan on celebrating the new year? Did we miss a drink that should be on the list?
