While at Origins I took some time with TwinFire Production and looked in detail at Folklore the Affliction. Folklore the Affliction is a Kickstarter project scheduled for the fall of 2014. The game is a classic horror storytelling game that uses nuances of table top role playing with board game mechanics. We did this from the Crown with only natural light, I think it kind of adds to the theme of the the game.
At Origins I had a chance to sit down with Twinfire Productions and chat about their game Folklore the Affliction. Folklore the Affliction is a classic horror cooperative RPG story board game that will be on Kickstarter this fall. I even had the chance to see the greens for the miniatures.
Nino and Will spent a great deal of time sharing their prototype with me, make sure you check out the other videos.
You can visit them at Folklore the Affliction, read about the game on Board Game Geek.
Ultimate Werewolf: One Night
$24.99
One Night Ultimate Werewolf is a fast game for 3-10 players in which everyone gets a role: one of the dastardly Werewolves, the tricky Troublemaker, the helpful Seer, or one of a dozen different characters, each with a special ability. In the course of a single morning, your village will decide who is a werewolf…because all it takes is lynching one werewolf to win! There is no elimination and each game last about ten minutes.
Because One Night Ultimate Werewolf is so fast, fun, and engaging, you’ll want to play it again and again, and no two games are ever the same!
Matt caught up with Lester Smith Con on the Cob 2013. We chat about his current writing projects ( Cthulhu Haiku II and Mythos Madness) and the games he has created. I have to admit this interview is much more of a conversation. Lester is so easy to chat with and share things it was almost like we were having a glass of wine chatting about old times. You can catch his kickstarter here.

City Of Horror
$ 50.00
In City of Horror, you’re playing a group of humans faced with a zombie invasion. The struggle against the dead is important, but your own survival is vital! To win, you’ll have to make alliances but also betray your companions. A game is played over 4 turns. Each turn represents one hour of time before reinforcements arrive. These turns are played out similarly: zombies arrive, players move one of their characters and then each location is resolved (power and attack). At the end of the 4 turns of play, the player with the most victory points (characters, food and antidote) wins the game. But be careful: to get into the helicopter, the players will have to make sure each of their living characters has been vaccinated. The box contains: 7 site tiles; 3 road tiles and a water tower area; 1 water tower; 21 character cards; 21 character tokens; 1 woman with baby character token; 40 zombie tokens; 30 colored bases; 36 movement cards; 40 action cards; 20 invasion cards; 6 explosion markers; 1 starting player marker; 12 food tokens; 16 antidotes; 1 zombie leader marker; 3 caches to be used when parties to less than 6 players; and 6 markers to indicate the color of the player.
