Check out Arkham Ritual from Ninja Star Games. The card game where reporters uncover a mystery of horror and worshipers and relics.
This is another fast playing game I’m looking forward too. Promo available as part of the Through Gamer Goggles Kickstarter.
Matt and I chat about the Guild Ball move to one piece plastic starters, Dark Souls, and the upcoming Kickstarter event for Resident evil.
I hardly ever get to see these guys, but I am hoping to get to Adept icon for any announcements they might have.

Warpath Firefight: The Other Sci-Fi Game from England
Ussskip
I decided to do a write up of this game after my first two games played. I also watched a third. The most amazing thing is they occurred one after another in a space of five hours. This is a new game to my group. We backed it on Kickstarter.
We went whole hog, full bore, so to speak. Not content to just kill the other player we decided to play scenarios as the designers intended. The armies used were Marauders (Orc like race), Galactic Co-Prosperity Sphere (Normal Human Soldiers), and Forge Fathers (Dwarves). I was maneuvered into playing Forge Fathers. Not a choice I would have normally made. After my two games I love the stunty little bastids’. We played at 1250 point suggested level.
STARFINDER ROLEPLAYING GAME NOW AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER
Paizo Announces Initial Product Line-Up and Compatibility License for Highly Anticipated New Science Fantasy RPG Set in the World of Pathfinder
REDMOND, WA (January 31, 2017): Paizo Inc., publisher of the award-winning Pathfinder Roleplaying Game and Pathfinder Adventure Card Game, announces today the initial product line-up for the highly anticipated Starfinder Roleplaying Game, the new science fantasy RPG set in the world of Pathfinder, ready for blast-off at Gen Con Indy August 2017.
Ultimate Intrigue
Published by Paizo Publishing
The latest of the Ultimate series books is packed with a ton of themed information. This is a gem for any espionage player or GM. Ultimate Intrigue features the Vigilante base class, new archetypes, feats, intrigue systems, social combat, new spells, and gear.
Vigilante base class has some pretty cool perks. The first and the coolest is the ability to have dual identities – like Batman! The class has the option for each identity to have a different alignment. My GM would have a lot of fun with that concept, and as a player it would be a great challenge to role-play. Beyond that you get to pick a path of specialization as an avenger or a stalker. An avenger gains an attack bonus equal to the character level, while a stalker capitalizes on stealth to gain 1d8 precision damage on flanked, flat-footed or otherwise unaware foes. This increases 1d8 every two levels. There are also several Vigilante talents. My favorite has to be Blind Spot. It allows the character to hide from creatures with special senses like Tremor Sense. That’s something I could have used in my last adventure.
There are of course several new archetypes in Ultimate Intrigue, and while many of them are specialized most can be used without too much difficulty. My favorite is the Guild Breaker, a Ranger who specializes in taking down an enemy organization. The difference is that the bonuses they get are applied to an enemy organization instead of to a favored enemy. This archetype also gets Deep Cover, which allows bonuses to Bluff and Disguise against the enemy organization.
Check pout Helionox from MR.B Games. Helionox is a movement based strategy Deck building game.
Sean Brown compares this too Star Realms and after playing Star Realms and hearing what Sean had to say about Helionox I really can’t wait to play.

At Gen Con I finally had the chance to meet with Jonathan Nelson of AAW. We chatted about Snow White – not the Disney version. One amazing thing I learned about this product is it has rules for love. How sweet is that.
I look froward to reviewing this book soon.
In this interview with Bryan Steele and Dave Taylor and we talk about Dark Age And Wrath of Kings. We spend a good bit of time talking about the tournament system.
Check back soon to see the Gen Con album or hit my Facebook page later today.
