Brokaw mentions Geek Fight on National Public Radio!!
16 November 2008, Voslyn
 Geek Fight was mentioned yesterday on National Public Radio! By Tom Brokaw!
National Public Radio has a weekly radio show called "Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!" where celebrities and popular news icons come on the show to answer trivia questions and quizzes. The goal is to see if you the listener can guess what is real news and what is made up (methinks the real goal of the show is general silliness!). On this weeks show (Host: Peter Sagal, Judge: Carl Kasell, Guest: BROKAW) Tom Brokaw was a guest on the segment called "Not My Job," and about nine minutes into the quiz the following question came up.
Just this year, 2008, a game was released which brought a kindof realism to the collectible card game genre, it is...
A. High School (in which players take on the personas of actually popular kids)
B. Geek Fight (in which players take on the roll of players attending a game convention)
C. Cubicle Drone (in which players vie for minor promotions for corner offices in an office environment)
Tom Brokaw confidently and correctly answered B Geek Fight! You can listen to the show here on the "Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me" website (click listen to the show near the top of the page, we're mentioned about nine minutes into the "Not My Job" segment).
Little known Brokaw fact (according to the host, Peter Sagal) Brokaw and Chris Matthews pass the time playing Geek Fight whenever they aren't anchoring a newscast! It's possible he could have been kidding, but we here at DDG games prefer to think of Tom Brokaw as one of us... Click Here to read more about Geek Fight, or Click here to do some Geek Fighting!
Get in on some Geek Fight!
7 November 2008, Voslyn
 Greetings and beatings to the Geek Fight faithful and the newcomers alike. It has been a little while since our last update, but I just wanted to assure you that we have been tirelessly working to crank out our second set. Unfortunately the name of set 2 must remain strictly confidential as we are not yet ready to release the name of the super-famous geek that we are partnering with! But I will say this, he’s $%&#ING HILARIOUS!
But there is no need to wait for the release of “SET 2” (insert suspenseful music here), we have plenty to keep you entertained for hours on end right here in our debut set “the Convention!”
Remember, each pack is only ONE DOLLAR (about a buck fifty with shipping)! That’s right, a single george washington (the original G.W.) can get you a pack of your very own Geek Fight cards. And with our seven-card-hand version of the game it only takes a single pack for you and a single pack for whichever unlucky friend of yours you decide to destroy for both of you to get a taste of Geek Fight glory!
So Click Here to enter our shop and be one of the first to get in on the gloriously nerdy Geek Fight Action!!
Dragon Shield Promo Card Officially Released
3 November 2008, Surfeit
Diving Dragon Games is pleased to announce, in association with Arcane Tinmen, the newest Geek Fight promo card: Dragon Shield! You'll soon be able to buy one with credits earned by participating on our forum, so register an account and get to posting!
Production for Set 2 of Geek Fight is currently underway. We'll make a more detailed announcement when we're ready to reveal the particulars of this set, but rest assured it'll be a shocker!
New Forum
19 September 2008, Surfeit
For those who haven't noticed yet, we've put up a shiny new forum. Since we'll be at Anime Weekend Atlanta tomorrow and Sunday, we haven't yet had time to make the forum visually attractive, but the main point is it works better than that old clunker forum we were using before. We'll pretty it up after the convention--I promise!
For those of you who plan to attend AWA this weekend, do make sure to stop by our table in the gaming room. We'll have Geek Fight signs up near the table, so we shouldn't be hard to spot.
Geek Fight Deck Rules and the Newest Promo
11 September 2008, Surfeit
The delay was longer than we hoped, but we've finally added the 20-card deck rules to the end of the 7-card hand version we posted last week. We've also clarified some of the rules about combatant deployment and stat bonus modifiers for anyone who was confused.
Also, I'd like to announce that I've just sponsored a promo card based on a character from my upcoming novel, entitled The Dream of Eden. You can view the card here. Serendipity will be one of the most useful combatants for tactics-based combat, but she's going to be really hard to get. If you can find me at Anime Weekend Atlanta in the gaming room, ask me about the card, and you just might get one!
Lastly, we'll be making a big announcement soon--probably within the month--so keep checking back. It'll be huge!
Anime Weekend Atlanta

Hey guys, Just wanted to let everyone know that if you missed us at Dragon*Con, you can catch us at AWA, Anime Weekend Atlanta on September 20th, and 21st! Look for us there to get your hands on some free packs of Geek Fight Cards!
The Shop Goes Live

For those of you who've requested DDG T-Shirts, we've set up a CafePress store where those can be purchased.
Thanks for your interest in Geek Fight, and happy battling!
Geek Fight at Dragon*Con!
31 August 2008, Surfeit
 Greetings and beatings, Geek Fighters! Well, we just got back from an awesome and exhausting Saturday at Dragon*Con in Atlanta, GA. Though we're all pretty tired and a bit disoriented from all the craziness, we wanted to give a quick update for the gamers we met at the convention.
Dragon*Con went better than expected; we got a lot of interest in Geek Fight from a lot of people--and only a few looks of terror from girls who probably thought we were trying to hit on them. (If you didn't know, the phrase "Would you like a free pack of cards?" has sexual connotations in the geek world.) For those of you who got away from us without a copy of the 7-card hand rules, we've uploaded a printable PDF. We'll have the 20-card deck rules posted as soon as our busy schedules allow!
 If you want to be notified of the latest developments in the Geek Fight saga, send Charon an e-mail with the subject line "DDG: Mailing List" to be added to the mailing list. We'll have a store and a better forum up sometime soon. In the meantime, keep visiting the site for updates. Hell, make it your browser's default home page and obsessively refresh it every hour.
Last but not least, if you have a Facebook account, feel free to join our group and become a part of the ever-growing Geek Fight Legion.
