Thanks for watching  you can get one of 4 signed copies of Forged in Fire as a pledge in our Kickstarter  The Convention Experience.  It is about us bringing you into  a great experience from Gen Con this year.   One dollar will go a very long way with this project.

Dead of WinterDead of Winter

$59.95

 

Dead of Winter is an experience that can only be accomplished through the medium of tabletop games. It is a story-centric game about surviving through a harsh winter in an apocalyptic world. The survivors are all dealing with their own psychological imperatives but must still find a way to work together to fight off outside threats, resolve crises, find food and supplies, and keep the colony’s morale up.

 

Dead of Winter has players making frequent, difficult, heavily-thematic, wildly-varying decisions, that often have them deciding between what is best for the colony and what is best for themselves.

 

2-5 players

Ages 13+

60-90 minute play time

Watch Matt delve into the Dungeon Heroes Board Game.  Dungeon Heroes is a tile dungeon exploring game for one or two players. Dungeon Heroes is made by Gamelyn Games and distributed by Game Salute.

My impression of Dungeon Heroes from the Box Breaking is that the game looks relatively easy learn.  I doubt it will take more than one or two tries to have a working grasp of the rules.   I hope to have the full written review up for you before Christmas.

PAIZO PUBLISHING OPENS WORLDWIDE PLAYTEST FOR PATHFINDER RPG: ADVANCED CLASS GUIDE

Developer of the World’s Best-Selling RPG Calls on Players Worldwide to Help Shape the Game’s New Rulebook

 

REDMOND, WA (November 19, 2013): Paizo Publishing, LLC, publisher of the world’s best-selling Pathfinder Roleplaying Game, today launches a worldwide open playtest for the forthcoming Pathfinder Roleplaying Game: Advanced Class Guide hardcover rulebook.

 

Pathfinder Roleplaying Game: Advanced Class Guide introduces ten new classes to the Pathfinder RPG, each offering new opportunities and abilities, and supported with a wealth of new rules, archetypes, feats, spells and magic items. The new classes include arcanist, bloodrager, brawler, hunter, investigator, shaman, skald, slaver, swashbuckler, and warpriest.

 

“Nothing gets Pathfinder players excited like new classes,” said Paizo Publisher Erik Mona, “but since the rules for class design touch almost every aspect of the Pathfinder rules system, it’s more important than ever that we put them through their paces with a rigorous playtest. I can’t wait to see how Pathfinder players respond to what our designers have come up with, but more importantly, I can’t wait to see how player comments and feedback make them even better!”

 

Participants in the playtest will be able to download and review all ten new classes, use them in their games, or pit them against monsters and other foes to test the power, balance, and overall clarity of the new classes. Via the paizo.com messageboards, playtesters can directly communicate with the Pathfinder RPG design team and other players, helping to polish and refine the classes, while also taking part in surveys and brainstorms to help make the Advanced Class Guide a seamless addition to the Pathfinder RPG.

 

The playtest is now open to all via a free download from paizo.com, and will end on December 20, 2013. Pathfinder RPG: Advanced Class Guide is slated for an August 2014 release.

 

The Pathfinder Roleplaying Game launched 5 years ago after 10 years of system development and the largest open playtest in the history of tabletop gaming, with more than 50,000 playtesters contributing the success of what has grown into the best-selling RPG in the world.
