Concordia: Britannia/Germania
$24.95
Concordia: Britannia Expansion features a double-sided map for Concordia. The Britannia map offers tight play with only 23 cities in ten provinces and players start in London and Calais, expanding Britannia from the south. The Germania map features 30 cities in twelve provinces again. The additional castles, different starting positions, and sea colonists moving along rivers bring new options into play.

Gear & Piston
$55.00
It is 1888, and everywhere you turn, people are talking about the horseless carriage. They are also talking about Jenatzy and Cugnot, Benz and Diesel, Atkinson and Butler – visionaries now remembered for their passion to create, to progress, and to succeed.
But this game is not about them, these giants of engineering. No, in Gear & Piston, you play one of the unsung heroes of history, an engineer of meagre means but great ambition, trying to build a prototype for picky investors seeking to profit from the future of transport. Will you make a name for yourself as an automotive pioneer, change the history of motorized transportation, and win the race that is Gear and Piston? With a lot of skill and a little luck, maybe. If nothing else, try not to blow yourself up in the process.
In the game, each player builds an automobile prototype by taking actions in different locations. You may patent brand-new parts in the Patent Office, look for rejected, volatile pieces of machinery in the chaos of the Junk Yard, try to gain an edge through the Back Alley, and finally build your prototype in the Workshop. All this just to please the two investors who are doing the rounds of the different engineering outfits, and who will be evaluating your rickety mess of an automobile. Good timing, keeping an eye on your competitors, and even a dash of luck are all you need to succeed in this business. So grab a wrench, some elbow grease, and your wits, and put some gears and pistons together!
Shadow Throne
$25.00
In this card drafting, hand management game, the empire is crumbling. The King clings to power by any means necessary; the Queen leads a rebellion to overthrow him; and the Princess has abandoned both of her parents to join the church. As members of a secret society, you and the other players hold sway over the kingdom, but your goal is not to set it right. By weaving Machiavellian alliances and influencing the outcome of crucial battles, you’ll ensure that whether the King, the Queen, or the Princess wears the crown, you’ll rule from the Shadow Throne.

In this episode Matt speaks on the topic of “bastards”. In role-playing this isn’t necessarily a bad thing. It doesn’t mean you’re an illegitimate child or a bad person, instead it means you ae an individual who doesn’t fit in because of race or some other factor. T his conversation includes half elves, half orcs, and everything els (those weird races that can be awkward to play).
I had a lot of fun with this. I have totally put a new spin on creating characters that are just odd. I hope it does the same for you.
Pathfinder Adventure Path #90: The Divinity Drive (Iron Gods 6 of 6)
$22.99
Silver Mount has long beckoned explorers and adventurers from across the Inner Sea with its promises of exotic, otherworldly treasures. Yet more than treasure waits within the alien chambers within this towering ruin – here, the greatest of the Iron Gods dwells, inexorably drawing its plans against the world of flesh and preparing for its final triumphant emergence from the eons of time. With allies recruited from across the land of Numeria and the brutish rulership of its capital city (for the time being) cowed, the time is right for the most extensive expedition into Silver Mount’s mysterious interior. What strange perils from beyond the stars await the heroes within the metal walls of one of Golarion’s most legendary dungeons, and could they just be walking into an Iron God’s trap?
“The Divinity Drive” is a Pathfinder Roleplaying Game adventure for 15th-level characters. The adventure concludes the Iron Gods Adventure Path, an exploration of the lands of Numeria, where savage barbarism clashes with the wonders and horrors of superscience.

GAMERS UNITE! OPEN CALL FOR VOICES AND SOUNDS TO BE INCLUDED IN SYRINSCAPE’S PEASANTS REVOLT SOUNDSET
Dicestormers co-Host and Syrinscape Creator Benjamin Loomes Calls on Game Fans Worldwide to Contribute Sounds for Gaming App
SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA (January 5, 2015) – Syrinscape, developer of the app that creates custom, movie-like soundscapes, effects, and music for the tabletop gaming experience, today opens the worldwide call for game fans to contribute their own sounds to be included in the forthcoming Peasants Revolt SoundSet.
Syrinscape developer and Dicestormers co-host Benjamin Loomes asks fans to submit their own self-recorded sounds, including wooden crashes, shattering glass, screams, yells, group chanting, and other sounds players associate with the “peasants revolt” theme. Everyone who contributes a sound will receive the final Peasants Revolt SoundSet for free, as well as a name credit on the product page.
The sounds can be recorded via smart phone, a handheld recorder, or professional studio, and submitted directly to Loomes via email, via Facebook, or a file sharing service, such as Dropbox. Additional details on how and what to submit can be found on Syrinscape.com.
In celebration of the launch of Syrinscape’s SoundSet Creator later this month, Loomes will use the revolutionary new app to build a community-sourced Peasants Revolt SoundSet from the fan-submitted sounds. The process of turning the random sounds into a rich and engaging SoundSet will be documented via a series of YouTube videos, to serve as tutorials for players wanting to create their own environments.
The SoundSet Creator is an easy to use sound toolset, which gives the user the power to create and customize fantastic sound environments to be used in their tabletop games, and is slated for a January 28, 2015 release.
Syrinscape SoundPacks and SoundSets add a new dimension to the gaming table. In addition to creating the officially licensed SoundPacks for the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game, Syrinscape creates general-purpose fantasy and sci-fi themed sounds that bring the soundtrack of gameplay to life.
