Precis Intermedia is pleased to announce that it has acquired the intellectual property rights to Machineguns & Magic. This roleplaying game was designed by William L. McCord Jr, who sadly passed away in 2020. His fun writing style and quirky artwork contributes to a unique experience. Machineguns & Magic focuses on a group of soldiers somehow transported from Earth to a fantasy world, who must now deal with hordes of orcs, barbarians, and wizards. This game was also featured in part 5 of my Forgotten RPGs series of blog entries. A classic reprint is currently in the works, which will be available in both PDF and softcover formats.
I had the good fortune to talk to William several years ago. I was enthralled by his ideas and thoroughly enjoyed our conversation. I regret missing out on more fascinating dialog with him. After hearing of his passing and learning more about the man, I decided that I did not want to see Machineguns & Magic continue to fade away into obscurity. With work commencing on the classic reprint, I am honored to keep part of his legacy alive.
