Numenera: Weird Discoveries

$24.99

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!

Pathfinder Adventure Path: Forge of the Giant God

(Giantslayer 3 of 6)

$22.99

The heroes explore the tomb of a legendary giantslayer before venturing into the Mindspin Mountains in search of the valley where the Storm Tyrant is recruiting giants for his army. The adventurers must confront the numerous giants inhabiting the winding valley before making their way to the giant headquarters, an ancient temple to the giant god Minderhal, which contains a powerful artifact. But the valley of the giants is just a recruiting station, and the Storm Tyrant’s stone giant representative has been sending the most promising recruits to a training camp deeper in the mountains.

Peloponnes

$65.99

In Peloponnes, each player is trying to establish one of seven different civilizations in 1,000 BC. To do this, they must erect buildings and annex land to be developed, thereby increasing both their wealth and their population.

Your goal: Nothing less than being the most dominant civilization on the peninsula at the start of a new millennium. To do this, you’ll bid for tiles each round, with one chance to overbid others or bid on a different tile. After players take income from their holdings, two disaster tiles are revealed; if the third instance of a particular disaster is revealed, all players must suffer from it — although some buildings will shield you from these effects. All land and building tiles provide victory points, and each inhabitant is worth three victory points as well.

Two complications, however: First, you must feed your civilization’s inhabitants twice during the game and once again at game’s end or else see them starve. Second, your score at the end of the game is the lower total of your population points and your land/building points.

Irongames products are made in Germany.
