Games of Thrones Boardgame Updated

Coming in November

FFGVA65
A Game of Thrones: The Board Game 2E
$59.95 SRP

The updated second edition brings a host of enhancements to your A Game of Thrones experience. It includes elements from the A Clash of Kings and A Storm of Swords expansions, including ports, garrisons, Wildling cards, and Siege engines, while introducing welcome new innovations like player screens and Tides of Battle cards. This, along with updated graphics and a clarified ruleset, means the time has never been better to take control of Westeros.

Fantasy Flight has stated:

We expect the timing of this release to be similar to that of Civilization last year.  That means that aside for the first shipment there will be little chance for you to restock this game and zero chance for us to reprint this game before the holiday season has passed.

This means our initial print run and your initial order are critical to maximizing this games success at the holiday season.

D&D: Mordenkainens Magnificent Emporium
$29.95 SRP

Few wizards know more about magic than the mighty Mordenkainen, whose arcane achievements are without peer. He’s the Archmage of Adventure . . . and no stranger to unearthing hidden lore. Stand aside, Tenser! Back to the books, Otiluke! Few can match Mordenkainen’s collection of magic items. Still, he hardly seems the type to settle down and open a magic shop.

And yet . . . Welcome to Mordenkainen’s Magnificent Emporium, a wondrous collection of magic items—each one with a story to tell. This tome provides Dungeon Masters with a ready assortment of treasures to tempt greedy players, along with historical nuggets and alluring adventure hooks that set these items apart from your run-of-the-mill flaming sword or bag of holding.

This book adds rich flavor to the treasures and trinkets presented within, and a dash of inspiration for Dungeon Masters looking to liven up a monster’s trove. Hold on to your magic hats—everything must go!

WOC355930000
D&D: Madness at Gardmore Abbey
$39.99 SRP

A thrilling heroic-tier adventure for characters of levels 6–10. This deluxe adventure takes heroes into the ruins of Gardmore Abbey, a monastery that was once the base of a militant order of paladins devoted to Bahamut. According to legend, the paladins brought a dark artifact back from a far crusade and stored it in their abbey for safekeeping, and evil forces gathered to assault the abbey and take it back.

What the legends don’t tell is that this artifact was actually the Deck of Many Things, a force of pure Chaos. This adventure brings characters into the extensive dungeons beneath the ruins—dungeons that are warped and twisted with the raw forces of Chaos surrounding the cards of the deck.

Included:
  • Four 32-page books that present the adventure location of Gardmore Abbey, new monsters, enemies and allies, quests, and encounters
  • Two double-sided battle maps depicting dramatic locations in the adventure
  • A die-cut card stock sheet of monster tokens
  • A die-cut card stock sheet of dungeon tiles
  • A deck of 24 cards — 22 cards presenting the Deck of Many Things plus 2 Treasure Cards.

According to official Combine terminology, the members of your hard-bitten starship crew are known as Licensed Autonomous Zone Effectuators. You’re the seasoned freelancers local leaders call when a situation proves too tough, too baffling, or simply too weird to handle on their own. In the abandoned fringe of inhabited planets known as the Bleed, you’re as close to a higher authority as they come. In this gritty space opera game, the PCs are Lasers, freelance troubleshooters and law enforcers operating in a remote sector called the Bleed. They’re needed in the wake of a massive retreat by the Combine, the Utopian empire that colonized it. Amid the ashes of a devastating war, the lasers solve mysteries, fix thorny problems, and explore strange corners of space—all on a contract basis. They balance the immediate rewards of a quick buck against their need to maintain their reputation, so that they can continue to quickly secure lucrative contracts and pay the upkeep on their ship and their cyber- and viroware enhancements.

Featuring seven new and highly detailed playable species, Ashen Stars also contains extensive, streamlined rules for space combat, 14 different types of ship, a rogues gallery of NPC threats and hostile species’ and a short adventure to get you started in the Bleed.

New Dystopian War Products and New Nation!

Coming in August

New Nation! Covenant of Antarctica!

SGCDWCA01
DW: Covenant of Antarctica Naval Group
$54.99 SRP

The enigmatic Covenant of Antarctica (CoA) is the world’s youngest and most unorthodox nation. Officially established in 1857 by its founder, the eccentric Britannian scientist-aristocrat Lord Barnabas Draynes Sturgeon, the Covenant has caused seismic shifts in global politics and scientific advancement in the few short years of its existence.

The Covenent’s military forces are small, but thanks to their extraordinary grasp of technology, they command offensive power out of all proportion to their numbers. The divisions of their military, known as War Fleets, contain land, naval and air elements which work in concert like a well-oiled machine. There are currently thought to be some fifteen War Fleets in operational state, although several more are thought to be maintained as reserves.

Antarctican war machines are not radically different in function to any other nations’. Their differences lie in their quality. With superior materials technology and artificial crewmen, they are simply capable of operating at a much greater degree of efficiency than the equivalent machinery of other nations.

The CoA brings a new dimension to Dystopian Wars. Still steeped in the world of steampunk, this small but perfectly formed fighting nation brings state of the art technologies to the conflict. As a new nation to enter the world war with or as an additional fleet to add to your collection, the CoA is huge fun for all players of Dystopian Wars.

SGCDWCA21
DW: Covenant of Antarctica Armoured Group
$49.99 SRP


SGCDWCA05
DW: Covenant of Antarctica Carrier/Token
$23.49 SRP

This massive machine is one of the more advanced vessels in the CoA’s fleets. The relatively small number of troops of the CoA, coupled with the discovery of technology that allows aircraft to be remotely piloted, makes the Pericles Class Drone Carrier an essential asset for commanders to deploy.

The Carrier deploys 6 ‘drones’ and operates by watching its drone fly around the gaming table, eventually running out of fuel and ditching. A massive crane in the center section of the Carrier collects the drones and remounts them on to the six launch racks on the sides of the vessel.


SGCDWBS12
DW: Empire of the Blazing Sun Ika Squid
$15.99 SRP

The Empire of the Blazing Sun has gone for a death from below option with this mechanical horror. The heavily armored body of this beast allows it to absorb punishment as it approaches and slam into the target. Weapons mounted to the tentacles allow it to engage enemy models.

SGCDWFS12
DW: Federated States John Henry Robot
$24.99 SRP

This 5 part all-pewter model adds some heavy flying metal to any FSA force. The John Henry Flying Robot comes in a blister of two models along with two acrylic flight stands. So if you want some awesome aerial intimidation for your FSA force, stock up on John Henry - he’s eager for battle!

SGCDWKB12
DW: Kingdom of Britannia Vanguard Submarine

Britannia truly rules the waves with this hull-wrecking beast of a machine of war. The all-resin model comes in a blister that contains two of the naval brutes. There are four high quality resin parts: two representing Vanguard above the waves in all of its glory and two submerged, its razor sharp teeth ready to rip the keel out of any ship that is foolish enough not to get out of its way!

SGCDWPE12
DW: Prussian Empire Metzger Class Robot
$24.99 SRP

One of the largest models in the Dystopian Wars game, Metzger is a killing machine that can prowl the battlefield looking for targets to destroy.

Metzger comes in two options: walking on land (2mm acrylic base provided) or wading through the water ready to engage any enemy shipping.

Fantasty Flight Producing Novels

Starting in August
FFGNAD01
Android: Free Fall
$8.99 SRP

It is the future, and while the world has changed, crime has not. When an influential lawyer is brutally murdered at the top of the Beanstalk, a towering exoatmospheric elevator serving as Earth’s hub of interplanetary trade, Captain Rick Harrison reluctantly accepts the case. Harrison’s investigation soon leads him from the sprawling megapolis of New Angeles to the distant moon base of Heinlein, where he must search for clues amongst an uncooperative assortment of bioroids, clones, and disgruntled human laborers.

But Harrison quickly finds himself at the center of an ever-deepening conspiracy. Why did the killer apparently use a mining laser, an unwieldy weapon? What is the true connection between the victim and a powerful anti-android lobby? And on the hunt for a killer, a hardened cop is faced with the one question he never expected: What is the true definition of humanity?

Free Fall is the first novel based on Fantasy Flight Games’s Android, conveying a dystopian world of technology and corruption. This rich universe is masterfully brought to life by New York Times Bestselling author William H. Keith, winner of the H.G. Wells Award and multiple Origins awards, and the celebrated author of over 150 novels, short stories, and other published works.

Embers of Atlantis
$8.99 SRP

Powerful scions walk the streets of modern London, oblivious to their true nature. Unknowingly, they carry within them the spirits of reincarnated dragons from an age of high fantasy. As magic begins to emerge once more in the 21st century, long-dormant memories begin to flood the minds of these scions, reminding them of their mystical heritage.

Welcome to the world of Fireborn. Ethan Gallows knows things about his world. He knows there is magic, and he knows he wants nothing to do with it. Yet when he is sent on the seemingly menial job of filming a museum curator’s antique art collection in London, Ethan discovers that he has much more to learn. After witnessing a violent display of sorcery, ancient memories come rushing back to Ethan - memories seen through the eyes of a dragon. With minions of the Taint now seeking him for their own twisted purposes, Ethan must put his trust in Sojourner - a woman claiming to be a draconic scion. Could he really be a dragon of old, or is this some sort of fanatic conspiracy? There’s only one way for Ethan to find out.

Embers of Atlantis is the first novel based on the acclaimed Fireborn roleplaying game setting. Written by New York Times bestselling author Tracy Hickman (Dragonlance), Embers of Atlantis introduces readers to a modern world faced with the sudden emergence of magic.

Arkham Horror: Ghouls of the Miskatonic
$8.99 SRP

It is the roaring twenties – a time of jazz and gin... but a shocking murder has upset the tranquility of the small town of Arkham, Massachusetts. When the mutilated body of a student is found on the grounds of Miskatonic University, the baffled authorities struggle to determine who – or what – is responsible. When two more students go missing, is it the work of the same killer, or something much darker? While a Miskatonic professor seeks answers in the ramblings of an insane former colleague, nightmares of a terrifying sunken city plague his most gifted student.

Meanwhile, a down-on-his-luck reporter trawls the dark underbelly of the town for clues, and a bootlegger escapes a deal gone horribly wrong in possession of a strange, otherworldly device. Now, these unlikely investigators must come together to face horrors beyond comprehension as they seek answers to a mystery that threatens to destroy all they hold dear.

Ghouls of the Miskatonic is the first novel in The Dark Waters trilogy by New York Times Bestselling author Graham McNeill. Fans of Lovecraftian horror will be devoured by its gripping mystery, and Arkham’s dark legends will continue to haunt the imagination long after the final page is turned.

New Dungeon Crawler Boardgame

Coming in August
CMNBG01
Super Dungeon Explore
$89.99 SRP

2-6 Players
Ages 10+
90 Minutes

Super Dungeon Explore is an expandable strategy board game for 2 or more players, combining the fun of traditional dungeon crawls, with a unique retro arcade/video game feel, featuring authentic CHIBI anime heroes battling hordes of minions and huge monsters in a dungeon full of traps and treasure.
One to five players take the role of classic fantasy heroes like the human paladin, a dwarf fighter or an elf ranger. One player is the "Dark Consul" to control the monsters of the dungeon.
Every hero/monster has a character card which informs you about the stats for movement, attack, armor, willpower, dexterity, actions points and hearts (= life points). Additional information may include special abilities / actions / attacks and potions.
The game is played on modular dungeonboards. In a round of play the game passes back and forth between single heroes and the monsters, but the exact order may change from round to round. The characters use the stats from their character card, special dice (with hearts, potions and stars) are only used for combat and checks. If the heroes wound the opponent they may draw loot cards to improve their stats. There is also the possibility to open treasure chests to find even more powerful things. The monsters have no possibility to "level up" but the Dark Consul has an unlimited number of them.
To win the game the Dark Consul must defeat all heroes in his dungeon. The heroes must defeat all monsters and destroy all spawning points (= entry points for new monsters) to be victorious.
