Arrr you going to save the kingdom with your pencil? Four new books for the adventurous Poptropica reader!

Slanted Fish

Poptropica’s been hard at work, and 4 new books are expected to be released on November 8th, 2012. Of course… not to brag or anything… but the PHB had already been posting about it months before! (see here, here, or here) Anyway, now we’ve got some blurbs for the books, and you can click on the title to check it out on Amazon. 😛

Skullduggery Island: In this 160-page illustrated novel, a cruel pirate named Captain Crawfish has been raiding the small port of Fort Ridley. Our hero must embark on a journey to find a powerful ship and skilled crew to help him defeat Captain Crawfish and recover a map that will lead the islanders of Fort Ridley back to their treasure.

Astro-Knights Island: In this 160-page illustrated novel, the princess of the Kingdom of Arturus has been kidnapped by an evil inventor named Mordred who has taken her off into space. Our hero now must learn to build his own space craft and travel to the stars on an intergalactic quest to rescue the princess and save the kingdom of Arturus.

Pencil Warrior: Something sinister is erasing its way across Poptropica, and the only way to stop it is by re-drawing all the islands and re-creating the world before this new threat can erase every trace. This 64-page full-color doodle book is perfect for fans of Poptropica and anyone who loves to draw.

Poptropica Mad Libs: Poptropica Mad Libs features 21 hilarious and action-packed stories based on games and missions from the website. Fans of the site will love to bring the adventure to life by filling in the blanks of our brand new Mad Libs!

This makes 5 books, in addition to the first Poptropica book, Poptropica: The Official Guide, which was released last year. Do you own a copy of the guidebook? Which one of these new books do you plan to add to your bookshelf? 😀

PHB Sunday Special: Mid-Autumn Madness

Slanted Fish

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival from the PHB! Indulge in lanterns, lights, fruits, and of course, mooncakes! Or, just enjoy another regular Sunday. 😀

What would the super villains do to wreck this holiday? Black Widow might vandalize your beautiful Chinese paintings. Dr. Hare might steal the Moon Rabbit’s carrots and hide them away. You might have to even fly to the moon on your custom spaceship and rescue a princess, or Binary Bard wins. And Captain Crawfish would probably have to go in hiding because who knows, we might be hungry for crawfishy mooncakes.

How many other villain scenarios can you come up with? 😛

Don’t forget, if you’re in need of a Super Villain Guide, the PHB has one right here. 🙂

Super Villain Island resources, a new PHB slogan, and possibly other gaming devices!

The PHB’s written walkthrough for Super Villain Island (with pictures) is now available! Thanks goes to Samwow5 and Cool Bite for their help. You can access it quickly by clicking on the Super Villain Island icon in the sidebar.

We also have a video playlist for SV Island on our YouTube channel, and links to more resources such as a map on our discussion page. The island comes out for everyone on October 18 – only three weeks away. 🙂

In honor of Super Villain Island, the PHB has a new header… with a new slogan! “Poptropica Help Blog: We put the POP in Poptropica.” It’s got a ring to it. 😀 And, if anyone’s wondering, the “POP” is that explosion of excitement you get when you visit the PHB. Yes, don’t deny it. 😉

Wondering how Brave Flame and Young Clown from the top 10 finishers of the new island got those robes? Finishing the members-only bonus quest grants you a reward – in this case, the Dream Guardian costume!

Oh, and remember the DS game Poptropica’s going to be releasing? PHB reader Samwow5 found an article about it in French, and when translated, it mentions that besides the Nintendo DS, they might be considering “other portable gaming devices.” Hmm…

BINARY BARD

The binary says “thunderous applause”.

Congratulations to all the Poptropicans who were in the first ten list!  And congratulations to anyone who’s beaten Super Villain Island!  Especially if you’ve beaten the bonus quest.  That thing was really hard.

In case you didn’t already know, Super Villain Island comes out to everyone on October 18th, so mark your calenders!

Super Villain Island

Super Villain Island: Now in early access!

Slanted Fish

Haaaave you played Super Villain Island yet? It’s now out for members, so join the millions of other players all trying to log in at the same time and hope that maybe your screen won’t freeze from lag so that you can play Poptropica’s 30th island! 😀

Non-members get to play a demo version of the island for now. The Poptropica Help Blog will have a guide up as soon as possible now has a guide available! We also have a discussion page, with links to the tour page, island extras, and more. Feel free to post comments over there or on this post if you have any questions or if you want to provide some help to others also playing the new island quest. Another great place to do that would be the PHC, where you can get responses from others in real time.

So, what do you think of Super Villain Island? The Creators think it may just be the best one yet! Do you think it lives up to its hype? 🙂
