... and this time it's for real!
Grimoire, the most anticipated RPG for the last few decades, will most likely be shipped very soon. Vaporware developer legend Cleveland Mark Blakemore seems to think so, thus he relaunched his Golden Era Games website.
After five years of having little more than a placeholder, the Golden Era Games web site is back! Looks like we may actually be getting some games released soon so we’re going to need it!
We’re grateful to all our frequent visitors over the years who have been wondering what happened to us. We’ re back!
They're back! Will Grimoire put an end to the misery of nextgen RPG offerings and lead the RPG genre to a new golden age?
Look at these screenshots while you're pondering this question.

In a shocking and unexpected update to the Grimoire homepage we are now informed that indie game and over-long in development - much like Duke Nukem Forever and possibly also like Duke Nukem Forever being a game which doesn't exist in any real tangible state - Grimoire, whose appearance was only a few days ago promised as "Coming July 2009", has now been knocked back until "Fall 2009".
When asked for comment on this turn of events, Cleveland Mark Blakemore had this to say:
We will bring you more news as it happens on this highly anticipated title.

Cleve Blakemore Foams At The Mouth ( Site news )

In response to yesterday's news posts, Cleve has posted a 'rebuttal', which consists of very little substance, and a whole lot of bullshit and fabrications that further reveal Cleve Blakemore, antisocial racist and self-proclaimed ubermensch, as the pathological bullshitter that he is. Here's his news post. Try to spot the bullshit he's made up (colored in red):
I went over to RPGCodex to see if they had taken the link down to the product backend and I read some news posts by some idiot over there that made me laugh so hard I had tears coming to my eyes.
The guy was claiming I was a known supporter of neonazi organizations, that I was close personal friends with Jeffrey Dahmer and that I may have been implicated in the Hindenburg disaster. He was just posting one wild accusation after another, each more incredible than the previous one - to back up his claims he posted some quotes from me saying Aussies were lazy, Brits were socialists and Canadians were losers.
Take note to how he doesn't deny the last part. It isn't in him to refute all the things he's said throughout the years, I suppose. I'm sure that in his insignificant little mind, he still believes those words to be true.
Technically, there is some awesomely libelous print over there on RPGCodex. At different points this little twit connected me with "Stormfront," (I think I've heard of it) and the "Aryan Alliance," (what the hell is that?) or some such madness. I couldn't believe the stuff this guy was making up. He suggested I may have actually been photographed in a group portrait with Dr. Evil and Mini-Me at the International Super-Villain convention in San Francisco last summer. It was wild stuff.
I banned this guy from the forum about a year ago because frankly, he was one creepy dude. He creeped out everybody he came into contact with, cursed, poured text onto the board from his cut'n'paste buffer, six pages at a time. You'll notice his signature on RPGCODEX is actually instructions to teenagers on how to properly commit suicide with a razor blade. These are the kinds of people your parents warned you about on the Internet. RPGCODEX seems to draw these people the way a cow paddock draws flies. They're all over there.
1) You've confused me with Fez, but in your defense I suppose we subhumans are all the same to you.
2) Neither of us posted on your forum, ever.
There isn't anything ever said or written by me that could support the whacky claims made about me by the nuts over there. RPGCodex is for people who will never make more than $12,000 a year, collect Pez dispensers, spend hours learning to speak Klingon and are likely to die unwept in a government subsidized flophouse somewhere from Type A diabetes and rickets. Mentally we're talking people with an average intellectual age of around seven.*
*Libelous remarks.
Cleve, we're not the ones living in a bunker due to fear of the upcoming global race war. We're not the ones who've been developing a fantasy game for the past 11 years with little to show of our efforts. We're not the one of the most poorly regarded game developers in existence, by co-workers, associates and almost anyone whom we've ever come into contact with. In short, we're not like you, Cleve Blakemore. We're better than you, and you better show us some respect.
The last political organization I gave money to was Greenpeace, about twenty years ago. I have been non-political since that time and have not actually voted in an election in any Western nation in more than twenty five years.
Besides the obvious bullshit, this begs the question as to which Eastern nation allowed you to take the vote.
About four years ago, AmericanPatrol.com asked me if they could reprint one of my forum posts about the effects that Mexicans were having on health care in California. I told them no because I never like any of my stuff used by political people, ever. I'm so far past any of that stuff I can't tell you.
You can't tell us because you're a bullshitter. Need I remind you that you referred to Mexicans as "burrito primates"?
A guy who builds a 400 square meter underground blast shelter is way, way past politics, kids. When you're a grownup you'll understand. Somebody like that would be so far past the point of believing they could change anything for the better they would have withdrawn completely from the marketplace of ideas altogether. They would have opted completely out of the monkeys-in-manpants exchanges once and for all.
Oh yes, I'm sure all of those active militiamen in North America and the counterinsurgents in South America are "way, way past politics". Don't forget Osama bin Laden, either. Right, I'm sure he's "way, way past politics", bearing that he lives in a bunker, he must be. It's only logical because the Blakemore says so. Instead of hiding like a coward in your bunker and whining about the state of mankind, you should try doing something about it.
Occasionally sitting on a fencepost on a forum somewhere and throwing barbs at all the tender naive rubes going by has never failed to amuse me. I do it sometimes not because I think I can change anything, but perhaps for the same reasons that farmers sometimes sit out in lawn chairs and watch the lemming stampedes headed for the cliff. It's funny. Laughing is important.* I never failed to find the humor in anything, ever, because I really enjoy taking the wind out of bogus things. If you asked me, if I think I know something that others don't, would I have a responsibility to tell them? I'd ask you, would I have this responsibility if I knew in advance they would not listen? That's why I am an absolutely apolitical human being.
*Cleve Blakemore found the destruction of the World Trade Center on 9/11/2001 "funny", because laughing is important. If it can't be helped, why cry about it, right? No. Only in the minds of fucked up people could anything like that ever be funny.
When I was in Sydney a couple of years back, I was at the survivalist convention down there looking for good deals on gas masks in quantity to resell up this way in Brisbane. There was a guy running a nazi militaria table who told me Hitler was a "great man." I asked him if he was such a great man, how come he was never able to get and hold down a day job in his entire adult life? How come he had never kissed a girl? I asked him if he was so great, why did the German Army have to send two soldiers to Britain to pull him off his brother Aleph's couch where he went to hide from the draft in WWI? If he was such a great man, why did his fellow bums at the Mannheim Men's shelter pay money to purchase bunks far enough away from Adolph that they didn't have to smell him?
Anyway, I had a crowd of those really funny nazi militaria guys gathered around me a few minutes later, they were all screaming I was a "bolshevist" and probably a "pinko communist bastard." They wanted to know who "put me up to it," if I was a "crypto-zionist" sent over to wreck their little booth of gay Nazi militaria.
Do you smell something? Well what do you know, it's the smell of fresh bullshit. If you'll bother to look up Cleve Blakemore's posts on USENET and QuarterToThree, which made him quite popular, I'll remind you, you'll take note that Cleve Blakemore was usually the only person spouting such wonderful terms as the ones he put in quotes. Need I remind Blakemore that the last time he postponed Grimoire* it was due to some imagined oppression by the "ZOG controlled media", or Zionists.
*Grimoire is an 11 year old piece of bullshit.
Listen to what I'm going to tell you. When you're as bright as I am, you have to appreciate - seriously, I'm not kidding - nearly ANYTHING that COMES OUT OF YOUR MOUTH can send ordinary humans into a raging, frothing mad frenzy, honestly. I can walk out of my front porch, shield my eyes from the morning sun and say it looks like rain. In less than thirty seconds, an angry mob with a roll of rope will have gathered, calling for my death as a service to the nation. No, I'm not kidding.
I hate to break it to you, but there's nothing libelous about the truth of Cleve Blakemore. You're about as bright as a burnt out light bulb. There are 244 comments on this article. Click here to comment.
Cleve Blakemore accuses the RPG Codex of bandwidth leeching ( Site news )
posted by Sol Invictus on Tue 05 July 2005, 07:07:45
More info on Grimoire
On his website, Grimoire Systems (aka golden era games), Cleve Blakemore, the infamous paranoiac and delusional racist (On Usenet, QuarterToThree and other Internet fora), and also the webmaster and owner of the aforementioned site has publicly accused the RPG Codex of leeching images from his pitiful little website. He had the following words to say to us, as posted on the site:
Some of the people who live with their parents and have never kissed a girl over at RPGCodex figured out how to link to the backend of the product database so they could hotlink the Grimoire screenshot into their forum page. For this reason I had to take products offline until I know how to keep that from happening.
Not only has he falsely accused us and impugned the RPG Codex reputable website (personal opinions of our writer staff are regarded as personal opinions, and do not reflect the website as a whole), but he also seeks to mock us in an utterly childish and reprehensible manner, as if to intimidate us.
These lies and fabrications are yet another degree of the spectrum which is Cleve Blakemore.There are 225 comments on this article. Click here to comment.
Support Nazism by Supporting Grimoire ( Game news )

More info on Grimoire
If you're not already looking forward to Cleve Blakemore's magnum opus, here's a good reason to get you interested, especially if you're English:
I don't know what the little brit subhumans are complaining about anyway, all they are doing is wailing inside their stables and waking up the other animals inside the barn because they are grieving about their masters making human jigsaw puzzles out of the dead remains of their children. All the countries involved in the european union have been moving towards this chop-n-shop-by-default for the bodies of their domesticated livestock for some time. After surrendering their arms, their freedom of speech and every right they have in the name of "security," a brit subhuman has long since lost any right to even grieve over his own children. He has surrendered his rights in the interest of "more security," and like the Renaissance genius Ben Franklin pointed out, any anal savaging that follows is exactly what the pitiful little BBC watching sunken-chested girly-boy Brits had coming. You're a stupid people, doomed to learn lessons from the past history of mankind the hard way and your tortured screams of unspeakable horror are like music to my ears because at least you are learning something however useless it may be to you at this point.
Remember, in the New World Order, nobody will sell you a permit to scream.
Stop your bleating, go back to your dingy little flats and plop down in your narrow tiny living rooms on rented government space and watch your interesting and engaging BBC shows on various aspects of multicultural progress in your society. Like the main character in "Brazil," the only place you can truly escape to is inside your own mind, so strive for insanity every waking moment and a flight into a pleasant fantasy world where Harry Tuttle descends on his rappelling wire with his freedom fighters (in the fantasy, Harry didn't surrender his guns like you did) and rescues you from the hideously evil all-powerful government. But forget about your kids because in Britain they were destined for dogfood the second they lost a pulse. Being an American I tend to regard those who approve of arms confiscation as mere animals and far less than human so I can't really sympathize with you.
What were you thinking of trying to reproduce yourselves, anyway? Children are for humans with a future and you have none. Please stop carrying out these dry natural rituals with no significance to barnyard property like yourself. "No sex please, we're British!" I don't think I could even GET an erection for a British girl, the shriveled-up little socialist slaves put me off that much. Liz Hurley makes me feel ill to look at, a dried-up pencil-thin socialist photo op? Yuck, she is disgusting like all British women. They're horrid lanky, stringy horses (dole diets) with atypical bad British teeth. How about you go and have a nice thick vanilla milkshake you friggin' commie hags.

Here's even more reason to buy Grimoire if you're Australian:
I said it before, now I'm saying it again - the Australian is weak. He's bad stock. His mind is weak, he is feeble emotionally, he lacks conviction or passion ... everything about him reads EXACTLY like those court decisions handed down from Britain centuries ago describing the reasons a man should be deported to Australia. He has trouble thinking clearly. His mind doesn't function very quickly or very accurately. Aside from drunken brawls with his mates, he would never think to challenge authority or assert himself, he is passive by nature. He's a broken man, like a penal convict. He's broken spirited with all that implies.
They've been socialist (like all intellectually inferior peoples) for a century - Australia's status as a "Free" country was always a token label, they were included in the lists of democratic nations more out of pity than respect. This has all been coming for a long time. They were destined for totalitarianism, it has just taken a couple of years to warm up. These men were never strong or hardy enough after the ravages of WWII to front any opposition to a parental government. They just don't have enough spunk or fight in them. They barely even have a military of their own to speak of, they generally rely on the graces of nations with nuclear weapons to protect themselves, like drunken bums who panhandle the international community for security handouts.
They gave up their guns without so much as a whimper, they bent over like bitches the second the government said so. They have had serious censorship and government controls for a decade or so without a complaint of any real magnitude. They just aren't Chuck Yeager - they don't have the "right" stuff anymore.
Before WWII, you still had plenty of pioneers and freemen ... most of the good ones died in the war, leaving the ratfaced finks and quasi- commie labor scum behind. There just aren't enough good ones left to mount a defense against the complacent and cowardly mob who are desperate to sacrifice all their freedoms for the government's "protection." The vicious cycle of dependency right down the socialist toilet has been swirling for a long time in Oz.
I was at the protest on Friday ... it was pathetic. A couple of greenies, some students who would turn out to protest a change in the weather and a bunch of hippie herbal dope smokers and grunge bands. The Australians had a chance to show their true colors on May 28th and they showed them alright - YELLOW.
The truth is, they are a bunch of mental defectives - give 'em a footy match and some peanuts, they'd let bureaucrats fuck their daughters for a sports jersey and see them sold off into white slavery, they wouldn't care one way or another. Sitting on their pub stools drinking their Foster's and yanking pokey machine handles to waste their pension checks from their all powerful mother and father, the State ... they're really fugging pathetic creatures. I'm not sure Australians actually qualify as human beings."

Renowned racist/conspiracy theorist/failed game developer Cleve Blakemore has announced today at RPGDot that the development of his near-vaporware RPG Grimoire is nearing its final beta test, which begins this Friday. Several of RPGDot's staff members are ridiculously hyped by the notorious RPG that's been in development longer than Duke Nukem Forever and Team Fortress 2.

Since several prominent members of the RPGDot community are involved with this beta, you can be assured of continuing coverage. Finally, the day many said would NEVER arrive is almost upon us.

Grimoire preview at RPGDot ( Preview )
posted by Spazmo on Thu 09 September 2004, 23:18:38
More info on Grimoire
RPGDot have played around with a beta build of the infamous Grimoire, which is apparently nearing completion and will be released as a shareware game. They've collected their impressions into a preview.
I have been playing and testing a Beta copy of the game for the past few weeks, and having a blast. Yes there are still bugs and areas that are not working properly, or which need the addition of a few more encounters, but this is going to be a great game when all the problems are resolved. With a few more months of scheduled testing and balancing before its release, the final product should please (and silence) all of those who said the game would never be released.
I don't really know enough about this game to say anything snide about it, but I'm sure our forum users will provide.There are 30 comments on this article. Click here to comment.
Grimoire preview like thingy at RPGDot ( Preview )
posted by Saint_Proverbius on Mon 26 July 2004, 13:52:06
More info on Grimoire
There's a preview like thingy on RPGDot based on a visit with Cleve Blakemore about Grimoire. Yeah, you heard right, Grimoire, a CRPG that's been considered vapourware before anyone ever muttered the words, Duke Nukem Forever. Anyway, here's a clip:
Cleve left LA for Australia in 1991, where together with Michael Shamgar, they began work on Grimoire a few years later. Now, after many stops, starts and re-starts, the game is nearly finished. That�s why, on an overcast, but otherwise pleasant morning, I found myself following Cleve down a hole in the ground to chat with him in the confines of the underground bomb shelter he�s building on the Australian Gold Coast. If nothing else, it�s providing research for his next big game, but more on that later.
Welp, let's hope for Cleve's sake, this game is good after all these years of waiting.
Thanks, Dhruin!
