Our friends over at Taverncraft are really on a roll these days... check out their new Warhammer Online Stien Collection. These things are tough! Here are some pics and pieces from their latest release announcement:

Announcing the official Fantasy Brewmasters guild on World of Warcraft!

Believe it or not, this has actually been part of our business plan from day one. Facebook, Twitter, forums, and comment walls… they're all great tools for online communication, but none of them can come close to bringing together a group like a good MMORPG. This guild is our way of taking the edge off the work environment connecting on more of a personal level.

We decided to go with a PVP server, figuring the main reason for not rolling PVP is fear of gankdom. Considering that we'll be rolling as one big group most the time, one would expect that we should be the gankors more often than the gankees.

Oh yea, one more thing… "For the Alliance!" Sorry Hordies, but with such a heavy dwarven theme going on, it just couldn't happen any other way. We hope you still join us… maybe you could consider yourselves ambassadors for the Horde, keeping the flow of sweet Dwarven beer to your homeland.

Game play starts around 9PM EST Friday night 2/26.

One of our goals for 2010 has been to branch out our web presence. We started this movement by announcing our Development Wave on Google back in January, but something that may have been overlooked, and is quite possibly more substantial, is our recent outreach into the deviantART community.

Deviants of Fantasy Brewmasters:

It has always been our goal to recruit from the deviantART community. Most of our site's artists are from dA, and the talent there is unbelievable! With their recent "introduction" of groups, it was a great opportunity for us to formalize our commitment to this community. #Fantasy-Brewmasters is our new home away from home for all things art and literature related. We have already connected with some incredible artists and writers within dA, and look forward to making further connections. As we move forward, you'll notice [deviantART] tags in the titles of many of our blog posts. These posts will consist of story submissions, label designs, and other announcements we are excited about that are related to the dA community.

Check out Fantasy Brewmasters in the April 2010 issue of Sci Fi Magazine! On shelves now!

The foundation for the development of our Dwarven Storyline has been set within Google Wave.

For the non techies out there, Google Wave is a new web application, developed from the ground up to combine many of the web elements we see today. With roots in instant messaging, wiki, and email it holds incredible potential for online collaboration. We've been excited about getting the chance to take advantage of this new technology since we first read about it in early 09.

The Wave is still beta, and has only recently been released for public preview. Account creation is by invitation only, and we have a few invitations we'd be happy to send out to anyone that wants to join our development efforts. If you would like an invite, just drop a comment below and we'll get on out to you.

Anyone tht already has an account can join the fun here:
