In this episode we bring you two reviews:

Cryo

A mission gone wrong. Tensions continued to mount aboard your colony ship as the days dragged on. An anonymous act of sabotage has sent the ship plummeting to the surface of a frozen uncharted planet. Damaged beyond repair, the scattered remains will do little to protect you from the brutal cold.

In the engine-building, worker placement game Cryo, leaders of separate, hostile factions compete to survive and claim control over the underground caverns on a remote icy planet. You need to act quickly and strategically to avoid further sabotage from other factions. Send drones out from your engineering platform to scavenge resources and save your crew still in cryostasis. Gather different materials to upgrade and customize your platform, fine-tuning new actions to suit your individual strategy. Utilize multi-use cards to your advantage, and claim the underground caverns for your faction to survive.

CybertoomTower

Year 2104, the machines dominate the planet Earth trying to wipe out the human race. You have been chosen to stop them.

Cyberdoom Tower is a solo and co-op futuristic dungeon delve experience where you try to collect the pass-codes to unlock the top floor of the Cyberdoom Tower and defeat the AI who controls the machines and save the world!

Explore the Cyberdoom Tower by moving your piece between the different floors of the tower. Fight the sentries guarding her by spending AP and rolling dice to determine your skills. Upgrade your gear deck to be ready for the final fight.

The more time you spend collecting access codes, the harder it becomes.

In this episode we cover The Marvel RPG controversy, Devil Pig Games going bust and Expedition to 5X first play review.

Recently there was a reddit thread that shows someone claiming they did the work on the Marvel RPG instead of Matt Forbeck... is there any credibility to that claim?

On FB, there was a statement from Devil Pig Games, who are going through some dire times and looks like could be going away completely.

With some dodgy things like their website taking orders but not fulfilling them, I am guessing there is more here than meets the eye:

And lastly, we do a first play review of Expedición to 5X a game from Fractal Juegos that surprised us very pleasantly.

Death Sentence is a TTRPG that emulates the slasher films of the 80s. Perfect for Halloween!

We also talk about D*ck Sits!, or as we know it now, Dixits, a game by the same people who released Gay Sauna the Board Game.

Lovecraftesque is a storytelling card game of creeping cosmic horror, emulating the tone and pace of eldritch horror stories. The game will guide you to create the story of a lone individual who stumbles upon clues to a terrible evil. It creates slow-building, brooding horror that the main character at first dismisses, until all too suddenly it becomes impossible to deny. The ending will certainly be bleak, and the main character is likely to meet their doom.

Lovecraftesque is an emergent mystery game, which crafts a story out of clues that you take turns to create. The game includes hundreds of creative prompts to help you generate your story and guide the main character towards a confrontation with cosmic evil. You take turns to drip weird events into the story, building up your mystery one clue at a time. Each player creates a secret theory about the horror and the truth about the horror emerges from those theories. By the end you'll reach a chilling climax that none of you could have predicted at the start.

A new edition

We created the first edition of Lovecraftesque back in 2015. It was our first game design project and we were delighted with its success. It's received critical acclaim, won awards and gained thousands of fans around the world. But since then we've made it even better.

The new edition gives your group more support for their creativity through prompt cards that help you get your story set up and populate it with interesting clues and characters. The story will seem to write itself. It will also include brand new card-based scenarios to get your story off to a flying start, and which you can also mix and match to make up your own weird tales.

The game is even easier to play with the rules and structure of the game written into the cards and your progress tracked on the board, so you always know what you're meant to be doing. As always we include teaching text to make it easy for you to learn and teach the game at the table, and tools to avoid the stereotypes of Lovecraft’s own work.

We are also commissioning new art by Vincent Sammy and Paul Tomes to make the game look cooler than ever before.

Lovecraftesque second edition will be available as a boxed set with the rules and all the cards you need, and as a virtual tabletop for online play.

#lovecraftesque #kickstarter #ttrpg

Vynestra is a high fantasy, ancient-themed setting for 5th Edition, drawing heavy inspiration from Rome and other classical cultures.

Vynestra has 1,000 pages of fresh new lore, spells, magical items, kinships, backgrounds, feats, adventures, encounters, and a massive city setting with over 600 locations; spread over five beautifully illustrated books with human-created art.

Vynestra features a fully customisable ability system with powers drawn from the gods. These manifest as magical tattoos, called embers, which allow PCs and NPCs to ascend as demigods.

Vynestra has a diverse cast of characters and creatures across all its settings.

Vynestra is ready to go! We're 99% done with everything, apart from some final edits, and are able to send out PDFs soon (roughly 1-2 months after the campaign ends following a backer review period). Digital rewards will be sent through DriveThruRPG and Itch.io.
