June 17, 2019 – Griffon Publishing Studios officially released Peter Schweighofer’s <i>OpenD6</i> solitaire adventure gamebook, <i><a href="https://griffonpubstudio.blogspot.com/p/trapped-in-museum.html">Trapped in the Museum</a></i>, in a 20th anniversary edition. “I first developed and released this solo adventure in the year after West End Games declared bankruptcy and laid off its staff,” Schweighofer said. “<i>Trapped in the Museum</i> was part of an effort to keep my name and game design reputation in the public eye in the hopes it might attract some freelance writing work. It was the unintentional launch of a 20-year independent publishing career.” Schweighofer talks more about his experiences with and inspirations for <i>Trapped in the Museum</i> in a <a href="https://hobbygamesrecce.blogspot.com/2019/06/trapped-in-museum-20-years-later.html">Hobby Games Recce blog post</a>.<br />
