Greetings from Spiderweb Software! We just looked up from frantically
working on our newest game, and we realized that we have a birthday to
celebrate. We couldn't wait to let you know about it, since it gives us
a great excuse to sell games on the cheap for a month!

Plus, we have the first information about Geneforge 3, and great news
about Blades of Avernum.

* Spiderweb Software Tenth Anniversary Sale

Ten years ago, we at Spiderweb Software began our great work. We had
nothing but a new computer, a cockroach-infested apartment, lots of
coffee, and a dream: to bring the great fantasy rpgs of the eighties
back to life. With pretty much the same quality graphics.

Eleven games and tens of thousands of satisfied customers later, we're
still in business. The coffee is better, there are no more cockroaches,
and we're still putting out fun, cheap games for fantasy gamers.

So come join us in our celebration! For the month of November, all of
our products are ten percent off! Explore the alien, completely
open-ended epic story of Geneforge, or sample the many free adventures
made by the Blades of Avernum community. On the cheap!

And countless thanks to all of the people who have supported us over
the years, with your kind words and your hard-earned money. Thanks to
you, we hope to keep going strong for ten more years. Or until we
totally burn out.

Nice, big demos for all of our games can be found at

* First Geneforge 3 Screenshots

Our next game will be Geneforge 3. It's the sequel to the hit fantasy
adventures with a sci-fi twist, Geneforge and Geneforge 2. Soon, we
will be announcing the new title to the new world, but subscribers of
this newsletter get the very first look at the new screenshots.

To see how it looks, go to:

Geneforge 3 will be bigger and more exciting than the previous games.
And, as always, it will let you decide what side to fight on, and
follow your goals with your own army of deadly, custom-made monsters.
Watch our web site for more information. It should be ready in the
first half of 2005.

* Blades of Avernum Updated

Blades of Avernum, our new fantasy role-playing game for Windows and
Macintosh, is doing great. There is already a community of bright and
hard-working folks making new adventures for it, and many gamers
struggling to overcome those new challenges.

We have released new versions of Windows Blades of Avernum (v1.0.2) and
Macintosh Blades of Avernum (v1.1.1). These updates fix a number of
small but annoying bugs. The new demo can be found at

* New Blades of Avernum Adventures

We now have five quality adventures for Blades of Avernum. Finished the
quests that come with the game? Come by our web site for some more free
fun. The available adventures, A Perfect Forest, Emerald Mountain, The
Cave of No Return, Babysitting, and Roses of Reckoning, can be found at

By the way, there are still quite a few months in the Blades of Avernum
scenario contest, in which the best user-made adventures can win cash
prizes!

That is all for now. You'll hear from us again when Geneforge 3 is
ready. And, hopefully, we'll have some good news about Avernum 4 for
you soon. Have happy holidays, and be sure to stay indoors playing
computer games!
