Hello and welcome to the weekend edition of Gamerati News Update.
Let's take a look at the news I covered during the week.
Mindjammer Press is kickstarting The Chronicles of Future Earth Roleplaying Game.
Designed by Sarah Newton, The Chronicles of Future Earth is a cosmic fantasy tabletop
RPG many years in the making. Set in the far, far future of our planet Earth,
it's a game of sorcery and demons, of fallen civilisations and ancient technologies, of
monsters and mysteries and mind-shattering dimensions.
This 388-page full-colour hardback is powered by a modified version of Fate Core to accommodate
new mechanics so it more closely replicates cosmic fantasy tropes.
This Kickstarter project is aimed at making not only the stand-alone core rulebook, but
also, well… kickstarting a brand-new game line!
If you played or read anything from Sarah Newton, you know you're in for a treat.
She writes sci-fi and fantasy like none other. So don't waste time, The Chronicles of Future
Earth Kickstarter ends today! Hit the link in the video description and
be part of future history!
It's not often that I see tower building board games.
And that was one of the many features that caught my attention in the Kickstarter project
of The Towers of Arkhanos, by Creative Games Studio.
The Towers of Arkhanos is a competitive dice-drafting, tower-building game for two, three, or four
players. Each player takes control of one of the schools
of magic of the realms of Drunagor and try to build the magic towers that will give them
prestige. With luck and cunning, you might be appointed
Great Wizard of the Realms! Designed by Daniel Alves and Eurico Cunha,
two experienced game designers from Brazil, The Towers of Arkhanos is meant to be family
friendly and highly replayable, with playtime running between 20 to 30 minutes.
The Kickstarter project runs for seven more days and features the very, very rare stamp
"Brazil friendly shipping". A 1-minute video is too short to talk about it.
It has many features, gimmicks, and components.
There's a link in the video description
that'll take you straight to the project page.
Also, I will be talking more about this game on The Curators podcast Friday.
If you're watching this on YouTube on the weekend, the podcast episode is already out
and the link is right here.
Comicbook.com reports that EncounterRoleplay is producing a different kind of eSport:
D&D combat. Initially called DnDSports, que tournament
had such a great response from the tabletop RPG community that they decided to expand
and change their name from DnDSports to RPGSports, although the only tournament scheduled so
far is the Dungeons & Dragons competition originally announced.
Now, competitive D&D might sound against the spirit of the game or even or RPGs themselves,
but the Comicbook.com news piece reminds us that Gary Gigax himself did create competitive
D&D modules for conventions. Classics like Tomb of Horrors and The Hidden
Shrine of Tamoachan were originally competitive modules for D&D way back in the day.
Anyhow, RPGSports D&D competition is scheduled for the 10th, 17th, and 24th of November.
Two teams of four player-characters will fight it out in a dungeon setting.
The characters will be picked from a pool of 15 pre-generated sheets.
A Dungeon Master will act as rules referee. Whoever wins will take home $5,000.
You'll be able to follow the matches on twitch.tv/rpgsports.
Wizards of the Coast is not directly associated with RPGSports but D&D Beyond, the official
digital toolset for Dungeons & Dragons, is a sponsor.
Tasty Minstrel Games will release Gentes in the North-American market in December.
Gentes is a game designed by Stefan Risthaus, with art by Harald Lieske and Adam P. McIver,
and originally published in Germany by Spielworxx. In the game, two, three, or four players take
the role of an ancient people who are attempting to develop their civilisation by building
monuments and colonizing or founding new cities in the Mediterranean sea.
You play through three eras in which you draft cards that allow you to build monuments,
train or educate your people, found cities, and earn money.
Training different professions amongst your people is very important, because it allows
you to use the powers and functions in the cards you draft.
The winners is the player who has accrued more victory points at the end of the third era.
Gentes plays between one and two hours and
will have an MSRP in the United States of $59.95.
