Pathfinder Adventure Path: The Hill Giant’s Pledge (Giantslayer 2 of 6)

$22.99

The marauding orcs have been defeated, but great danger remains – the hill giant chieftain Grenseldek did not recover the treasures of the tomb beneath the besieged town of Trunau, and she will never rest until she has made them her own. The heroes must travel by riverboat through the orc-hold of Belkzen to the abandoned border fort that the giant has claimed as her lair and put a stop to the threat at its source!

“The Hill Giant’s Pledge” is a Pathfinder Roleplaying Game adventure for 4th-level characters. The adventure continues in the Giantslayer Adventure Path, a classic sword & sorcery campaign that pits the players against hordes of evil giants. Several new monsters, additional missions for the Mindspin Mountains region, an article on the ecology of drakes, and Michael Kortes’s Pathfinder Journal round out this volume of the Pathfinder Adventure Path!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

ABANDONED SPACE STATION AND GIANT SAND WORM SOUNDSETS ADD MOVIE-LIKE SOUND TO SCI-FI GAMING

New SoundSets from Syrinscape Bring Tabletop Sci-Fi Gaming to Life

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA (January 14, 2015) – Syrinscape, developer of the app that creates custom soundscapes, effects, and music for the tabletop gaming experience, announces today the release of the Abandoned Space Station and Giant Sand Worm SoundSets for the Syrinscape Sci-Fi Player.

The eeriness of an abandoned space station comes to life in the Abandoned Space Station SoundSet, which completely soundscapes a vast and mostly empty structure, barely hanging together in the depths of space. From air ventilation, malfunctioning computers, and sparks, to garbled distress calls, explosions, and the joyous sound of the tearing metal hull, this SoundSet will transform the gaming table into an out-of-this-world experience. The Abandoned Space Station Sound Set is available on Syrinscape.com for $3.99.

The Giant Sand Worm SoundSet is everything a GM would want for an epic encounter with the worst the space-desert can offer. As players battle giant, vicious Sand Worms, the game is enhanced with laser fire, vehicles, bombs, roars, crashes, and other sounds for a massive, space monster clash. The Giant Worm SoundSet is available on Syrinscape.com for $3.99.

The SoundSets can be purchased separately, as part of the Sci-Fi Monthly Subscription Package for $6.50/month, or as part of the Super Syrin Subscription Package for $10/month. The Syrinscape Fantasy and Sci-Fi Players are free to download, including two free SoundSets, and are compatible with a wide range of devices, including PC, Mac, Android Tablets, and iPads. For more information, the free download, or to subscribe, visit syrinscape.com.

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, as well as the soon-to-be-released SoundSet Creator.

About Syrinscape
Using a powerful audio engine and complex algorithms to produce ever-changing soundscapes and rich encounter-specific music, Syrinscape conjures every aural landscape imaginable, from ethereal forests and stony shorelines, to dank, vermin-filled dungeons, to the spooky depths of the underdark. Designed by accomplished composer and tabletop gamer Benjamin Loomes, along with the developers at the Interaction Consortium, Syrinscape builds on more than 6 years of prototyping and community feedback. Syrinscape is based in Australia. Syrinscape is available for a wide range of devices, including PC, Mac, Android Tablets, and iPads, and the players can be downloaded via syrinscape for free.

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.

3-5 players

Ages 14+

Shadows of Brimstone: City of the Ancients

$99.95

Shadows of Brimstone: City of the Ancients is a fast-paced, fully cooperative, dungeon-crawl board game set in the Old West, with a heavy dose of unspeakable horror! Players create characters, taking on the role of a classic Western Hero Archetype, such as the Law Man, Gunslinger, or Saloon Girl. Forming an adventuring posse, the Heroes venture down into the dark mines, overrun with all manner of ancient demons and foul creatures from another world. With tactical gameplay, lots of dice, and a robust card-driven exploration system, no two games are ever the same as the heroes explore the mines finding new enemies to fight, new loot to collect, and new dangers to overcome. Players can even find portals to other worlds, stepping through to continue their adventures on the other side!

An exciting campaign system allows the players to visit local frontier towns between adventures, spending their hard-earned loot and building their characters from game to game! As players find fantastic gear and artifacts to equip their heroes, they also gain experience from their adventures. This experience is used to level up, guiding the hero’s path through an expansive, class-specific upgrade tree of new skills and abilities, allowing each player to develop their hero to fit their own play style.

In City of the Ancients, players will encounter portals to the otherworld on the Plains of Targa, finding an ancient frozen city whose living inhabitants are nowhere to be found. Instead, great mechanical keepers wander the city going about their duties – until interrupted by the arrival of the players’ characters!

So load up yer’ six shooter, throw on yer’ hat and poncho, and gather the posse as the darkness is coming, and all hell’s about to break loose…in the Shadows of Brimstone!

Can be used together with Shadows of Brimstone: Swamps of Death to raise the maximum players to 6.

1-4 players

Ages 12+

The heroes must battle their way through 6 exciting scenarios, growing in strength and acquiring magical items, before eventually facing off against the Necromancer in a final exciting showdown between good and evil.

The runes also unlocked a secret passkey:

Hjalgeir

Enter this Dwarfen password to discover more about Dungeon Saga and the secrets within… ( and watch out, mystic magic surrounds the passkey makes it case sensitive)

I’m looking forward to this. I have played Dwarf King’s hold twice now and find it enjoyable. Ronnie has an interview with Beasts of war that explains the game in much more detail. I think my favorite part is how they stage the learning.

C&C Adventure Supplement: Rogues Gallery

$9.99 SRP

Every game has them; hosts of unnamed, faceless, personality-lacking brutes that mock both players and CKs with their amorphous shapes. Well wait no more longer. C&C finally gets its first rogue’s gallery. Brought to you by the skilled hands of Shane Moore, the wildly popular author of the Abyss Walker novels, this rogue’s gallery is replete with an army of Non Players Character. All races. All classes. This rogues gallery has them all.

Each NPC comes complete with statistics such as attributes, hit points and standard armor class. They also have names, alignments and all the other bones of a good NPC, but more than that these NPCs have faces, personalities, descriptions. Each NPC is individually treated, including goals and desires.
