Numenera: Weird Discoveries
$24.99 SRP

What’s the hardest part of running a game? It has to be the prep. GMs often commit hours to preparation before the first minute of Play - one of the biggest stumbling blocks to getting campaigns rolling. But what if running a great game didn’t require any more time for the GM than it does for the players?

Weird Discoveries explores the Ninth World with ten meaty, single-session adventures. Run them as one-shots, or drop them into your ongoing campaign when you don’t have time to prep your own adventures. Or run them as a campaign for months worth of effortless play! These aren’t adventure seeds - they’re complete, pre-prepped adventures in an innovative new format.

Weird Discoveries makes prepping for an RPG no more difficult or time consuming than setting up a board game, while showcasing the wonder, mystery, and awe of the Ninth World. A must-have for beginning Numenera GMs and veterans alike!

6 Pre-generated characters

Barony
$49.99 SRP

On the outskirts of the Empire, the tension is palatable: in the race for power, your struggles take on more and more challenging proportions.

As a baron, you rule one of the four most influential families of the region. With your army of knights, you have to reach the most rich and fertile lands, colonize them and above all, defend them against your opponents! You have also to climb the ranks in order to, one day maybe, become the new King!

At the beginning of the game, the board is randomly created, making each and every game very different and with only six actions (Train, Move, Rally, Build Village, New City, Gain Title) and one action per round, it is simple to understand and fast paced!

Players need to expand fast but maintain solid defenses. You can train new knights in your cities, they can move to conquer new lands or rally new allies from the border realms. The hexagones representing various terrain types that, once occupied, allow players to build towns that may eventually become new cities. Depending on the type of terrain you build on, you will collect different resources which can be traded off in order to gain a title.

When a player reaches the Duke level it triggers the end of the game and the player with the highest number of points will become King!

Cardline: Dinosaurs
$14.99 SRP

The diplodocus is clearly heavier than the tyrannosaurus, but what about the brachiosaurus? Maybe that the stegosaurus is lighter than those three, but does it weigh less than a wooly mammoth?

In Cardline Dinosaurs, these are the kind of questions you’ll be faced with each time you want to place one of your cards. There’s only one goal here - to be the first one to correctly play all of your cards. Sounds easy right? But these questions are tougher than a triceratop’s horn or was it an ankylosaurus’s armor?

This box contains 110 cards built around the theme of dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals. All of these cards are compatible with the cards from the Cardline Animal series.

Ultimate Warriorz
$39.99 SRP

It’s time for the great Tribal Rumble! This ritual battle takes place in the sacred arena and the best Warriorz from all the different tribes, clans and races are gathered. There will only be one winner to be named chief of the legendary End of the World Island. The one, the only, the Ultimate Warrior!

In the game, each player picks one of the characters, then either individually or in teams they fight it out in the small arena by carefully managing their action cards. After each player picks an action card in secret, players act in order of initiative with a player calling out their action when their initiative number is called. Faster characters tend to be weaker, but ideally they can get their best shots in first, with dice being rolled to determine the results of various attacks.

Each character card is unique with four characteristics important for attacks; melee attack, ranged attack, speed, initiative, and each character has two unique actions to inflict on others! Victory in this battle will require expert timing! Use your secret technique at the right moment, take advantage of your magical items to do the most damage and above all else avoid your opponents’ attack!

Each day the Grave Keeper will bring the cart around the city and you must vie to get your family members in the cart before other families do. But be careful!

Get your recently departed family members buried in the best plots in the cemetery to gain influence in the city. You may even have to resort to some early morning grave swapping.

Pleasant Dreams: The Card Game of Nightmares
$20.00 SRP
SDI

You are in a deep sleep; your mind is filled with Pleasant Dreams. As the night wears on, dream fragments conspire to lead you on a nightmarish journey. When bliss twists into terror, will you succumb to shock or sustain your slumber?

Pleasant Dreams is a one or two-player card game placing the players in a dreamworld where they fend off nightmares. The goal of the game is to trick your opponent into drawing so many nightmarish dream fragments that he or she wakes up. Alternatively you can win the game by being the first player to finish the dream without waking up.

During the game, you’ll be trying to outwit your opponent by manipulating The Dreaming, and deciding whether or not to push your luck by delving deeper into the deck. Each turn of the game starts with the player deciding how many dream fragments they want to resolve. Pleasant ones help you relax, while the unpleasant ones bring you closer to waking up screaming. You can have some of the cards come back later by secretly inserting them anywhere into the dream deck.

Decide whether you want to hold on to pleasant fragments of your dream...but beware, anything may come back to haunt you! Sweet dreams…

Coming in May!
AREGRPR004
Galaxy Defenders: Operation Strikeback
$74.90 SRP
NPI

As the Agency plans the assault on the Alien Moon base, new technologies are studied and new weapons are readied. A gigantic shuttle transports the team and part of the Agency HQ to Earth’s natural satellite.

Arriving on the Moon, the team and the agency gape in wonder at the alien technology. The Moon surface is changed, completely wrapped in an invisible force field that allows them to breathe. Even gravity has been increased to Earth-like values – all without altering the Moon’s structure. But the scientific supremacy of the invading Alien army also hides the exact location of its base. The Agents will have to search each sector, to find and defeat the invaders!

Galaxy Defenders: Operation Strikeback is the first campaign expansion for Galaxy Defenders. In Operation Strikeback, the Agency prepares to counterattack the Alien invaders launching a strike against the alien base on the dark side of the Moon. The scenarios included in the expansion develop the storyline begun with the campaign included in the Core Set.

Operation Strikeback adds many new features and new mechanics, introducing new aliens, new powers and new characters. The Master Aliens - the highest-ranked invaders in the Alien Army - are introduced in this expansion. To win the final battle, the Agents will have to fight the gigantic Wormoon, heavily armored and armed monster with impressive abilities and a terrible bite that can tear an armored agent apart!

Such opponents cannot be fought without the right equipment, and the GD Agency has created new “toys” for the agents, including the extremely versatile Power Suits, that improve the Agents’ movement, giving him the ability to fly, as well as enhancing his combat abilities.

This time our heroes will not be alone in facing the Aliens…Thanks to the knowledge the Agency acquired during the first conflict, a new ally stands as a pillar of virtue for goodness and law: the members of project Knights!

The agents cross a portal to the invaders’ home planet to fight the final battle against the Aliens - The adventure begins after the Agents defeat the Aliens on the Moon in Operation Strikeback.

Extinction Protocol adds many new features and new mechanics, introducing new aliens and new characters. Master Aliens, the highest-ranked invaders in the Alien Army are present in this set, including the Kingator - a giant half reptile and half war-drone - and the Alien Queen, a nearly invincible opponent who can poison her victims before she finishes them with her dreadful claws.

The Agents can face these new enemies wearing lethal Power Armor, the ultimate mobile exoskeletons capable of imbuing Agents with new unique powers and awesome firepower!

Agents are no longer alone in this war, as Extinction Protocol introduces a Non-Player Character (NPC) system, allowing intelligent non-player agents to fight side by side with the GD squad. The underground of the alien planet is formed by endless narrow corridors and caves, represented by a new system of Modular Map Tiles, fully compatible with all previous maps of the game.
