Privateer Press will be bringing us some new toys after the first of the year.

 

My favorite is Protectorate: Nicia, Tear of Vengeance Character Solo

The widow of a proud Menite soldier, Nicia hopes only that by the time she meets her own inevitable, bloody death she will have killed enough unbelievers to join her husband at Menoth’s side. This peerless Daughter of the Flame strides through battle with lethal grace and speed, each movement gauged to bring her within striking distance. Even as she cuts through one foe, she fells another with cannon fire, wheeling her blade around for another kill. Few enemies have witnessed Nicia’s murderous devotions and lived. Continue reading »

Pathfinder Releases Dragon Empires Gazeteer

 Gaming News, Pathfinder  Comments Off on Pathfinder Releases Dragon Empires Gazeteer
Dec 132011
 

This was released yesterday I think.  You can buy it here from Paizo.

 The mysteries and wonders of the Dragon Empires are finally revealed! The continent of Tian Xia stretches from the polar ice in the north to well south of the equator—a realm where honorable samurai, devious ninja, martial artistry, strange spirits, and imperial dragons rule.

This broad overview of Tian Xia presents details on more than two dozen regions inspired by the mythology of Japan, China, Korea, Vietnam, Indonesia, and other Asian touchstones, as well as brand new realms like Wanshou (a swamp nation of slaves ruled by a kraken), the hobgoblin nation of Kaoling, the tengu homeland of Kwanlai, the monster-infested Valashmai Jungle, and the underwater locathah enclave of Xidao.

The 64-page Dragon Empires Gazetteer also presents five new player character races—the birdlike tengus, reptilian nagaji, shapechanging foxlike kitsune, reincarnated spiritualists known as samsarans, and the shadowy masters of trickery called the wayang. An overview of life in the Dragon Empires offers a look at a new core pantheon (including more than a dozen brand-new deities), several new factions, and the challenges faced by a land recovering from the recent fall of a continental empire. Grab your katana, ready your best kung fu, and prepare to discover a whole new world of exciting adventure!

Dr. Shark

$ 40.00 SRP
The evil Dr. Shark is holding a cocktail party on his private island. Spies will try to gather clues hidden in the pool in order to build a case against Dr. Shark. In turn, the players move their spy towards a free space at the bottom of the pool. They then gather clues by searching bare-handed in a bag, by following various directives. They could end up searching by only paying attention to the shapes or textures of the clues, search by the handful, or actually look into the bag to get the clue of their choice. The search ends if they find a shark or if the timer runs out. They must then sort out the clues to work out the proof (the clues earned must correspond to the images shown on the tokens placed next to the game board). The game lasts a variable number of turns depending on the number of players. The spy with the most points when the game ends wins.
