So why are we doing this? This is best put by this Letter from The Wayne Foundation.

Hello, my name is Jamie Walton – founder and president of The Wayne Foundation.

According to the U.S. Department of Justice, child prostitution has become an epidemic crime with victim estimates ranging between 300,000 and 800,000 children internationally.

Human trafficking, domestic trafficking, and child prostitution are crimes that can befall any child, anywhere, and at any time. I was once one of these children.  Like so many other victims my abusers were never arrested for their crimes.  I felt as if no one loved me or cared about what happened to me.

It has taken me many years to come to terms with the horrendous abuse I experienced as a child. Now, I am breaking my silence in the hope that I can give a voice to children who are today’s victims.

Every day, thousands of children in the United States are bought and sold for the purposes of sex.

With your help, we can give them a way out and a chance to start a new life.

The Wayne Foundation’s vision is for a world without child slavery. Our mission is to provide young women who have fallen victim to commercial sexual exploitation and domestic trafficking with a means of leaving the sex industry for good. The Wayne Foundation is committed to fighting human trafficking, child prostitution & child sex exploitation one victim at a time by providing individuals with a safe home environment that will empower them with the tools they will need to stop the cycle of abuse.

It is our intent to stop commercial sex exploitation within the United States through direct victim assistance, public outreach, and by directly working with those who shape the policies and statutes which impact victims and their abusers.

Where you come in

Every cent of profit made from this bundle will go directly to The Wayne Foundation to help them accomplish this mission. Not only will you get some great RPG and board game products, but you’ll be helping Jamie and her foundation get off the ground and into action.

You can listen to an amazing interview with Jamie Walton, hosted by Kevin Smith which will give you a much more detailed idea of what Jamie went through as a child, and why she, with Kevin’s help, decided to start the Wayne Foundation. Here’s part one and part two.

Flagons and Dragons Interview

June 27, 2011 Leave a comment

Recently, I was interviewed by the folks at Flagons and Dragons. It was a real pleasure talking to Carl Bussler and I hope to game with the whole crew someday (since they’re like an hour away from me). After listening to the interview, give their other episodes a listen if you have not already. I hope you will find them as entertaining and I do.

Enjoy. And thank you again Carl for interviewing me.

What’s Going On With JBE And Traveller

June 22, 2011 3 comments

Hey everyone,

If you follow me on Twitter and Facebook, you’ll know I have been talking alot about Pathfinder quite a bit lately and not much Traveller. You are probably asking yourself, “So has JBE dropped Traveller altogether? Is there any Traveller in your future?” The short answer is, we have not dropped Traveller, but we are in a hold at the moment.

Our strategy for a while now has been: one Traveller book, one Pathfinder book, repeat. With the launch of the Book of the River Nations: Complete Player’s Reference to Kingdom Building, I was getting ready to work on my next Traveller book. We settled on it being a book of Warp Ships (with a working title of Mech Tech ‘n’ bot: Warp Speed). Early artwork has been purchased and I started laying out some deck plans. We were considering making some changes to the warp engine rules and were were even considering releasing the rules as an open playtest.

Then Mongoose announced Star Trek will be coming to the Traveller system.

While we’re thrilled about this, it is also a bit of a problem for us. You see if we did anything other than what Mongoose does, our ships will largely be viewed as “wrong.” We simply do not know if Mongoose will be going with the warp engine rules in the core book or not. While they may, they may customize them some. Plus there are other design choices that will going into that book that we would like to wait and see on. So after much discussion, we are taking a wait and see approach on our next Traveller book. Then we need to evaluate how much jives with existing OGL material and what we definitely cannot use. I don’t know precisely how long we will be waiting so we just ask for patience.

Our d66 line has been on hiatus for a while. Sales of the lists have slowed in recent months so we decided to give it a break for a few months and start it back in up in the fall. We’re guessing everyone has enough names for the time being and we’ll release more after we’ve given everyone a chance to use the names they already have.

So we will be quiet on the Traveller front for a while but we’re not gone. We’ll be back boldly going where no 3rd party publisher has gone before.

Traveller: Your Life of Crime in a d66 List

April 11, 2011 Leave a comment

You do the Crime, You do the Time. That’s the way it goes isn’t it. Once you’re out of jail you, have a story to tell and a history. Enrich that story with the latest d66 lists. First up is d66 Criminal Ship Names. Every good crime story has a ship in it somewhere. Whether it is the getaway cruiser, a blockade runner or a yacht designed to scam suckers out of credits, there is always a ship and that ship has to have a name. Get the best with d66 Criminal Ship Names.

As the next part of the story goes, you were caught and ordered to spend time in a detention center. Come up with the name on the spot with d66 Prison Facility Names. These names keep your story fresh and interesting as you just rattle off how you were sent from prison to prison because you were too dangerous.

While doing time in lockup, you earned yourself a nickname. d66 Prison Inmate Nicknames. Gives you your character’s nickname as well as the nicknames of everyone else you knew there. These nicknames make excellent allies, contacts and enemies from your former life.

And for those that have no interest in crime, we bring you d66 Vilani Names. The race that populates most of the Third Imperium need lots of and lots of names. This triple list special gives you a full list of Male Vilani Names, Female Vilani Names and Vilani Last Names for the price of two lists. A total of 108 names to mix and match in any order you want and to keep your players in NPCs for a long, long time.

Download these and other d66 lists today.

Traveller: An Ocean of d66 Lists

March 18, 2011 1 comment

Just in time for your weekend Traveller game, Jon Brazer Enterprises brings you four new d66 lists for your game.

The first one is for players as much as Referees. d66 Gambling Games. Every gambler needs their preferred way to potentially make a fortune and every world needs its own way unique way to lose big to your bookie. d66 Gambling Games can give you inspiration for your game and for your character. Can your character pick the winner in every game from Asteroid Orbiting to a Zero-G Joust.

Next we have d66 Large Bodies of Water. Many worlds have oceans and every last one has a name. Bodies of water are important for life as well as transportation. Give those bodies of water names a name with significance like Zhodani People’s Ocean or a characteristic like the Hundred Island Sea.

As always we bring you more ship names. This month we have d66 Research Ship Names 2. Name that science vessel something a scientist would be proud to make his big discovery in. Perhaps genetic research is done in the Helix or protection of endangered species is done in the Space Shepherd.

Finally we bring you the next installment in our alien name series. Written by Albert “GamerDude” Beddow, Jr., we present d66 K’kree Names. These two lists are for the price of one. It presents both male and female K’kree names for your game in an easy to pronounce format. Get the best names in space with the d66 lists. Look for Sword World Names as the release of the alien book gets closer.
