New Mutants & Masterminds Book

Coming in August
GRR5504
MM: Emerald City Campaign Setting
$34.95 SRP

Emerald City is a brand new setting for your Mutants & Masterminds Third Edition campaign. Set in the same universe as the award-winning Freedom City, Emerald City provides a home base for your heroes and a place they can shine.

This rich and detailed sourcebook describes a fully realized city that until recently was downright normal. It didn't have alien armadas filling the sky, or mad gods trying to turn it into a Hell on Earth. Things were stable…until the Silver Storm tore through the city and unleashed a flood of dangerous super-villains and monsters. Now criminal masterminds have cast aside years of fragile peace, ready to go to war to settle old scores and claim the throne of the city's underworld.

Emerald City has no established teams to call on in this crisis. It is a city that needs heroes. Will you answer the call?

Zombie Deck Building Game

Coming in August
MYY4297
Eaten By Zombies!
$24.95 SRP

2-4 Players
Ages 8+
20 Minutes Playtime

Deck-building to die for!

In the new game Eaten By Zombies! players strive to survive as the horde of the living dead make it their goal in Death to force you to join the crowd. You must work with or against the other survivors to be the last one standing. No not standing, cowering in the corner crying for their mommy. With a set of over thirty different cards to start with, no two games will ever be alike.

This game is a combination of Card Drafting, Hand Management and Survival Horror with a few dirty tricks thrown in.
In the spirit of AMC's "The Walking Dead" and "I Am Legend", Eaten By Zombies takes you into a dark world of eventual death. Every turn you must venture out from your safehouse and scavenge for Swag. But not so fast, the Undead have other plans for your brains. Every day a Horde of fresh zombies will be waiting for you, and over time the threat gets greater. Now it's time for your "Fight or Flight" instincts to help you to survive just one more day. Using the swag you've got on you (ie cards in you hand) you must survive any way you can.
If you can get away or kill the Horde, you may scavenge the remains of the desolate suburbs for any Swag the neighbors may have left behind. With the right stuff and a few good friends to out run, you may just make it through this alive... well, no probably not. But being the last one to die a slow, painful death means you can claim sole victory!
With a set of over thirty different cards to start with, no two games will ever be alike.

New from Jolly Roger Games

Coming in August


JOL1600
Pirates vs. Dinosaurs
$60.00 SRP

2-5 Players
Ages 11+
90 Minutes

Pirates vs. Dinosaurs is a game for 2-5 players by Richard Launius (designer of Arkham Horror) in which players control pirate captains and their cutthroat crews, all with partial knowledge of the whereabouts of buried treasure on a forgotten Pacific island.

The catch? They don't know the island is the final home of dinosaurs, survivors of millions of years, and they aren't happy to let outsiders explore their island. Of course, the pirates also don't know that the island is sinking or that there are other pirates looking for the same treasure. Who will get away with the most loot and become the pirate remembered by history?
Before the game, players outfit themselves with a variety of crew, weapons, and gear before choosing the section of the island that they will explore, knowing that the jungle takes longer than the beach as they look for their parts of the map. The search can be interrupted as other players play dinosaur (and other) cards to cause mayhem and carnage. Once the treasure is located, players draw treasures from a bag, looking to avoid the pirate ghost and island sinking events, and return safe to their ship--a question of how far they'll go in pushing their luck.

New Fantasy Flight RPG set in the Warhammer 40k Universe

Coming in August

FFGBC01
Black Crusade: Core Book (HC)
$59.95 SRP

Black Crusade is an exciting new standalone addition to Fantasy Flight Games’ popular Warhammer 40,000 Roleplay line, offering players an entirely new perspective on the conflict between the Imperium of Man and the forces of Chaos.

This groundbreaking concept delivers the unprecedented opportunity to play as an agent of Chaos, whether as a Chaos Space Marine or a human disciple. Throughout the wildly successful Warhammer 40,000 Roleplay line, one common factor is Chaos: the ubiquitous antagonist responsible for much of what defines this immersive setting. But with the release of Black Crusade, players will examine an exciting new set of character motivations. Are the agents of Chaos truly evil, or are they rebels fighting against the Imperium and its repressive oligarchy bent on blinding all of humanity with its dogma?

Black Crusade offers players a chance to explore the depth of this universe in a unique new way, and it gives Game Masters of all four Warhammer 40,000 Roleplay titles the ultimate toolkit to create engaging new villains.

The days of the Imperium of Man are coming to an end, and the corpse-god will soon be overthrown. Are you prepared to embrace Chaos?
