D&D Dungeon Command: Sting of Lolth

$ 39.99 SRP

D&D Dungeon Command: Heart of Cormyr

$ 39.99 SRP

Dungeon Command is a card-driven, tactical board game that uses miniatures. Each faction comes in its own box, and contains twelve miniatures, plus cards, tiles, and rules needed to play the game. While each faction box is meant to be played by a single player, quick-start rules are provided that allow two players to engage in a shortened version of the game using only one box. This game focuses on skill, eliminating luck-driven mechanics in favor of player-driven mechanics, creativity, and quick thinking. Each box comes with themed miniatures designed to play as a unified war band that not only works well together mechanically in-game, but also from a story perspective. This particular set contains many hero-type miniatures, including a Ranger, a Rogue, a Knight, Defenders, and Warriors. Each Dungeon Command set includes game pieces that can be used in multiple D&D-branded products. In addition to their use in the Dungeon Command game, the miniatures can be used in the D&D roleplaying game, and every pack comes with 12 cards usable with the D&D Adventure System cooperative games (Castle Ravenloft®, Wrath of Ashardalon™, and The Legend of Drizzt™).

The Price of Infamy

$ 19.99 SRP

Slated for August

The adventurers now have their own island and port, but they’ll need more than one ship to defend it. They must scour the harbors and docks of the Shackles to recruit more ships and more crews to their flag. But when a rival from their past sends a fleet to attack them, they must defend their island home. And when they sail to his island to get their revenge, the adventurers discover a traitor whose betrayal threatens all of the islands of the Shackles. “The Price of Infamy” is a Pathfinder Roleplaying Game adventure for 11th-level characters. This volume continues the Skull & Shackles Adventure Path, delving into the secrets of the deadly cult of Norgorber, god of thieves and assassins, along with presenting new rules for battles between whole pirate fleets. New monsters from the depths of the sea and exotic islands fill the Pathfinder Bestiary, while Robin D. Laws (author of the Pathfinder Tales novel The Worldwound Gambit) continues his tale of pirates and lost treasures in the Pathfinder’s Journal.
