Bioshock Infinite: The Siege of Columbia

$84.95 SRP

Your mother Columbia cries out as foreigners and anarchists threaten her virtue – will you not take up arms and defend her? Will you usher Columbia toward salvation or ruin?

1912. The magnificent floating city of Columbia, intended to be a shining symbol of American exceptionalism, has been disavowed by the very nation that created it. Part world’s fair and part battleship, Columbia has erupted into civil war as two sides vie for control of the most important city on Earth. The nationalistic Founders seek to prove that Columbia is even more American than its motherland, and the anarchistic Vox Populi seek to burn the floating city out of the sky. Caught in the middle of the infighting is disgraced former Pinkerton agent Booker DeWitt, and Elizabeth, a mysterious young woman fated to be Columbia’s salvation or the bringer of its doom.

BioShock Infinite: the Siege of Columbia board game is based on the exciting BioShock Infinite video game. Set during the same series of events as the video game, players take on the role of the Founders and Vox Populi factions, desperately seeking to seize control of Columbia. Players will command mobs of combatants and set them against their opponents, striving to lay claim to the city’s bitterly contested districts. Challenging objectives offer tempting advantages, as each side uses their might, influence and resources to claim victory.

13^th Age

$44.95 SRP

13^th Age is the new d20-rolling fantasy roleplaying game by Jonathan Tweet and Rob Heinsoo. It’s a familiar fantasy game with spell books, Armor Class, dungeons, hit points, portals to other worlds and owlbears ripping people’s arms off. But it’s also a story-focused game where every character is unique, relationships are their most powerful resource and failure is more interesting than success.

WM: Diffuser – Convergence Light Vector (plastic)

The Diffuser is a clockwork marvel equipped with a ripspike launcher and a sophisticated arcane relay. The individual ripspikes bear tiny fins controlled by a clockwork mechanism. This allows the arcane relay to adjust the trajectory of each ripspike, maximizing the probability of every shot striking true. The relay sends similar signals to other vectors, clockwork vessels, and priests of Cyriss to direct their efforts toward targets marked for immediate termination.

A player may field any number of Diffusers in a Convergence army.

Contains:

1 Diffuser

Hello! It’s been a few weeks since my last project update so I wanted to drop you a line. Since the last update, I’ve collected all but 1 Survey (you know who you are!) so we have nearly all shipping information needed.

Production is fully underway. All 48 of the Bark-covered wigwams, the small Sioux Tepees, the Bark & Reed-Mat wigwams, and a few other items are completely cast up. We’re currently waiting on the production disc for the Iroquois Warrior metal miniature to arrive and then we will cast up the 52 we need as rewards; we expect the mould to arrive this week and to cast as early as Sunday.

I will notify you when your items have shipped. All items will ship United States Postal Service.

In the meantime, while Craig is in the shop moulding and casting, I will be running our trade stand at the following shows:

G-Fest XX – July 12-14 in Chicago (listed as vendor: Kaiju Kaos). I will be focusing primarily on my colossal monster game but will have some of our most popular Accessories and 20th Century terrain for sale as well as 28mm Strykers and more. http://www.g-fan.com/html/gfest_xx/gfest_xx.php

Historicon – July 18-21 in Fredericksburg, VA. I will have a wide variety of our WW1 & WW2, Dark Ages, Colonial, American Frontier (pre-Kickstarter), Fantasy, Sci-Fi, 20th Century terrain and more. I will also have our All Things Zombie, Kaiju Kaos, Primaeval Designs, 5150, Dept 40, and Altera miniatures for sale as well as our popular Accessories bins. http://www.historicon.org/

Shadowrun Crossfire – No Deck Thinning

Card Games, Catalyst Game Labs, Deck Building Games, Shadowrun Comments Off

Jul 102013

Deck-building games have a tradition of allowing you to remove cards from your deck (“trashing” them) during the course of the game. That allows you to remove the least significant cards from your deck and therefore gain greater access to your best cards. Shadowrun: Crossfire doesn’t have trashing, and I’m here to explain why.

1) No drawback. In games like Dominion or Thunderstone, the ultimate goal of the game is to fill your deck with cards that are worth victory points. These cards dilute your deck as the game nears its end . . . and they dilute your deck the most if you’ve made it small by trashing! ButShadowrun: Crossfire is about adventuring, and there is no end-game dilution effect. Trashing under these conditions would be incredibly powerful.

2) Loss of identity. In Shadowrun: Crossfire, each runner gets a different starting deck, depending on your role. These cards aren’t strong, and you’d sure like to trash them after you’ve bought a few replacements, but they define your identity! So instead of trashing, we added various black market cards that key off your starting cards—either by enhancing them, or by depending on their presence for best effect. Your starting cards end up staying relevant throughout the game.

3) Variety. It’s cool in Dominion if you can draw and play your whole deck every turn, but it wouldn’t be quite as cool in Shadowrun: Crossfire, where you’re supposed to be facing new and unpredictable challenges and situations every turn. Instead of letting you draw your whole deck every turn, we went for making each individual card powerful and significant.

WM: Axis, The Harmonic Enforcer – Convergence Warcaster (white metal)

What Axis lacks in subtlety, he more than makes up for in knowledge, mathematical precision, and brute strength. His dedication to crushing any who oppose the Great Work is matched only by his devotion to Cyriss herself. Armed with his twin hammers Action and Reaction, Axis finds satisfaction in serving the goddess through the calculated destruction of her enemies.

Axis, The Harmonic Enforcer comes in a blister.

A player may field one Axis, The Harmonic Enforcer in a Convergence army.

Contains:

1 Axis, The Harmonic Enforcer
