Q. Why do you spell magic incorrectly? A. Magic is for children and scam artists - magick is for pissed off wizards who want to (and just might) destroy the world. Clearly, there's a difference.

What Happened to Key20?
Key20, originally a small press game publisher, became a small press fulfillment house, shipping out great games to stores and customers. Unfortunately, the economy really hit Key20 hard, and they ceased operations. This means Eldritch Ass Kicking, for the foreseeable future, is back in my hands. Print copies are still available direct. I'll even the sign the game for you! You can also expect to see some new material posted here in the coming days. - Nathan
