Thursday marked the release of Steve Jackson Games’ 2008 annual Report to the Stakeholders. In it Steve Jackson reports on the state of the company as well as product plans for the upcoming year. Of particular note is the continued dedication to the Munchkin card game line (including the addition of the Munchkin Quest board game) and the release of GURPS RPG core books in electronic download form through the e23 web store. Another interesting tidbit from the report… Steve claims the Daily Illuminator section of their website as the first internet blog.

A couple of guys tried to break out of jail in Merced County, CA. They tried to conceal their escape using a fake vent with a Monopoly game box with melted dominoes for the black holes in the vent.

They were caught when they stuck their head out of the wall where the vent was supposed to be.
