About this blog

Sycarion Diversions hopes to be a different type of game company. Our mission isn’t unique, we want people to be entertained by playing games. What’s different is that we aren’t completely about selling games. The rules of all our games are free.


That’s right, the rules are free. In addition to that, any ideas on our blog are available with a few rights reserved. Basically, just say you got it here.


So how do we make money? Since we are in the business of selling entertainment, any money we make comes from providing conveniences to our customers, time with game creators, merchandise, and patronage. Basically, we sell dice, pre-made game boards, pre-printed rules (like a hard-cover edition or paperback), t-shirts, etc.
