\"spanc.jpg\"From the Mighty Studio Foglio e-bulletin:<\/p>\n

We often receive phone calls of this nature on the steam-powered studio telephone:<\/p>\n

Steve Jackson<\/u>: “Phil. Space Pirate Amazon Ninja Catgirls. Are you in?”<\/p>\n

Phil Foglio<\/u>: “Okay.”<\/p>\n

The result being a new game-in-production called “Spanc<\/a>” — by Steve Jackson Games, designed by Fade Manley, & illustrated by our own Phil Foglio! From the blurb:<\/p>\n

“Life is good when you’re a Space Pirate Amazon Ninja Catgirl. Enjoy a life of larceny and mayhem as you embark on one Caper after another. Defeat every challenge the galaxy throws at you, from the Friendly Guard Puppies all the way to the Fiendish Death Trap. Pick up Toys (and the occasional Poolboy), grab more Fame than anyone else, and watch your tail . . . because the other catgirls want what you’ve got!”<\/em><\/p>\n
