Ok, so maybe it's not technically a tank and is, instead, an armored mobile artillery piece. But that's just terminology. Anyway, Forge World is now taking orders for their new Legion Arquitor Bombard with Graviton-Charge Cannon kit. If you want to blow giant holes in the enemy's battle lines, this is a good choice for that. They're also taking orders for the softcover version of Horus Heresy Book 8.

From the post:

The Legion Arquitor Pattern Bombard is a heavy artillery platform designed to operate at the forefront of the Legiones Astartes advance. Equipped with a reinforced chassis and brutal short range firepower, it is called upon to break the most stubborn of fortifications or to annihilate massed enemy infantry and armour.

Available to both Loyalist and Traitor forces, the Legion Arquitor Pattern Bombard can be fielded in units of up to three vehicles. The graviton-charge cannon fires energised canisters that impact among the enemy's ranks, emitting a graviton field that crushes delicate circuitry and electronics, disrupting the advance of anything that survives the barrage. You can also add even more firepower to your indomitable artillery platform in the shape of sponson-mounted heavy bolters or autocannons. If you need to add mobile heavy firepower to your force, the Arquitor Pattern Bombard is ideal.

This highly detailed 56-part resin kit makes one Legion Arquitor Pattern Bombard with Graviton-Charge Cannon.

Rules for fielding the Legion Arquitor Pattern Bombard are available as a free PDF download.

Well, I know what faction I'd be playing if I got into the A Song of Ice and Fire: Tabletop Miniatures Game. The Free Folk are getting a bear. Multiple bears, in fact. Granted, it's not a full bear faction like I've been wanting in games forever, but it's something. The Skinchangers box set is different than most Unit Attachments in that it's more than just a single figure that comes with it. Have yourself a look at how this unique set works.

From the post:

The Free Folk are very much in tune with nature. Unlike the more urbanized groups to the south, the Free Folk look to the wild not with trepidation or a sense of trying to control it. Instead, they live in tune with it. Among them, there are those who can expand their consciousness and reach into the minds of other living creatures. They’re called the Skinchangers and when they are found on the battlefield, it’s not because of anything they are doing, but because of the animals that they bring along with them. Soon, Free Folk commanders will be able to recruit these powerful individuals for their forces. The Skinchangers box isn’t a unit to itself, but an elaborate Unit Attachment with several options open when building a force. Let’s take a look at just how this unique box set works.

Inside the Skinchangers box, players will find two sculpts of Skinchanger model along with six other models, two wolves, two eagles, and two bears. The humans in the group are the actual Unit Attachments. They cost 1 point apiece and ignore the usual Unit Attachment rules (so a unit can have a different Unit Attachment as well as a Skinchanger assigned to it). However, a unit can only have 1 Skinchanger at a time. When deployed, the player chooses to have the Skinchanger bonded to an eagle, a wolf, or a bear. Each Skinchanger can be bonded to a different animal, but once the choice is made, it will remain that animal for the entire battle. Each animal has a different ability that comes into play at different times.

In most horror RPGs, the players are the "regular people" in the world that are trying to defeat the monster or otherworldly being that's causing problems. But in They Feed on Fear, you get to actually become the monster. Create your own Fear-Eater and have them sow terror in the world. The game is up on Kickstarter now.

From the campaign:

They Feed on Fear: A Horror RPG is an RPG system that allows the players to create and take control of Fear-Eaters, horrific inter-dimensional beings that sustain themselves by devouring the fear/essence of their victims. Players name their Fear-Eater, create their appearance, behavior, background, and mythology. The players must then stalk their way through the world outlined by the game master, called the Provider. Their goal is to sow discord, fear, and horror, all while avoiding the feeble attempts to end their rampaging unquenchable feast.

In the quaint and quiet town of Haven's Reach, neighbors smile at each other, doors are left unlocked, and children play in the streets. 

There is something sinister taking root beneath the idyllic community. For those wary enough to notice, strange things have been happening; pets have started to go missing, shadows seem to move on their own, and the whole town seems to be under a daze. 

Neighbors shouldn't smile at each other, doors shouldn't be left unlocked, and children shouldn't play in the streets. The kids are not alright. 

The campaign's making its way towards 3x funded with 12 days left to go.

I don't know. To me, a city where it rains all the time seems kinda nice. I like rain. However, I'm not sure that living in a city at the edge of the end of the world would be the best. But that's what the Rainy City is. And you can drop this location directly into your games using the system-agnostic A Visitor's Guide to the Rainy City, an RPG Zine project that's up on Kickstarter now.

From the campaign:

The VISITOR'S GUIDE is designed for busy GMs to mine for your own games and campaigns. Need a flavorful but dour neighborhood to drop into a city you're prepping? Then use the paranoid and cult-infested Levee Town. Need a strange NPC wizard for players to sell their ill-gotten loot to? Oculam the Oracular is your wizard; he already saw you coming! Need a weird urban location to toss in front of your players? Then look no further because Vengus Ult's Mushroom Library has just sprouted up in Old Town. Need a colorful folktale to flesh out your local village? Then Ware the Winder Man, who comes every Mid-Winder Night to enter your home and steal your breath. 

Break the VISITOR'S GUIDE down, mine it for gems, and use them as your own.

The campaign's closing in on 3x funded with 11 days left to go.

Recently, the folks over at Paizo had a Twitch stream where they collectively with the audience built themselves a monster for Pathfinder. The Ailurans are what they came up with. This new monster has been created mostly by you, the players, and is now ready to take its place in your campaigns. Paizo's posted up its full stats and information on their website.

From the post:

A short while ago, Logan Bonner and I appeared on Paizo’s Twitch stream to demonstrate the monster-building rules featured in the Pathfinder Gamemastery Guide. With the help and suggestions from the chat audience, we walked people through the steps of creating a brand-new monster based on a piece of art that appears in the book. Now we’d like to share with you the result of that exercise. Meet our unofficial creature—the ailuran!

Ailurans are reclusive fey with an obsession for silver. This fixation makes them a pesky foil to silver miners and werecreatures alike. Though the creatures don’t necessarily harbor any ill will to others and would prefer to just be left alone, miners consider them pests. Ailurans, sometimes called silver seekers, are infamous for sneaking into or breaking into silver mines to obtain the object of their affection—silver. Miners, not wanting to be stolen from, keep alert for ailuran activity.

It’s unsure why ailurans have an animosity to werecreatures, but their obsession with silver serves them well in this regard. Some ailurans use the silver they collect to make silver weapons they use to hunt down these shapeshifters. Werecreatures aware of this enmity tend to avoid regions where ailurans live.

Ailurans live in small groups in secluded forested hills and mountains—typically locations in which silver can be found in abundance. When not raiding mines, ailurans can be found in trees where they often make their homes. They have a supernatural ability to sense the presence of silver and have been known to accost travelers and charge them a silver toll to allow passage through their lands. While not outwardly friendly, many ailurans are open to trade and will barter with creatures passing through their forests. However, if a visitor makes a bad impression, the creatures sometimes use their illusory magic to create false silver items they use to trade, leaving the traveler empty handed once the magic’s duration runs out.

Jinkies! There's a mystery to solve, gang! And only us, a group of meddling teenagers and a pesky puppy can do it.
*investigating happens here*
Oh no! We've become trapped in this haunted mansion! How will we get out?

How, indeed. That's just what you'll have to figure out in Scooby-Doo: Escape from the Haunted Mansion, the first in a series of home escape-room-style games from The OP Games as part fo their Coded Chronicles line.

From the announcement:

Clue-sniffing canine Scooby-Doo and his friends Mystery Inc. have been on the tracks of cloaked offenders for 50 years, and for the first time since their adventures began, you can be one of the gang! Figure out how to get through an escape room-style game and storyline that you and your friends can solve at home when Scooby-Doo: Escape from the Haunted Mansion comes out this spring!

Debuting a series of The Op’s new signature line of Coded Chronicles™ games, Scooby-Doo: Escape from the Haunted Mansion puts you right in the roles of Fred, Daphne, Shaggy, Velma, and Scooby to unfold a mystery in real-time!

Coded Chronicles™ games are like no other tabletop game you’ve ever played before. As the name suggests, they’re the first at-home escape room-style activity that integrates storylines from iconic franchises into the foundation of a unique code-revealing mechanic, which players use to cooperatively and gradually unlock new parts of the game. It’s the same nail-biting excitement of a real escape room, but without the time limit!

Designed by Jay Cormier and Sen-Foong Lim (Junk Art, D&D: Rock, Paper, Wizard and MIND MGMT: The Psychic Espionage Game), this code-revealing mechanic lets players apply the same means of deduction and critical thinking that Mystery Inc. does best! Learn how Jay and Sen managed to keep players engaged every step of the way, as we get closer to opening the box.

More than 50 individual clues are hidden in this game’s interactive game board and pieces to help you discover what happened in Lady Fairmont’s Haunted Mansion! Players will share five narrative booklets, to be read as everyone works together to fill in the story’s missing details. Different parts are kept in secret envelopes to be opened as the crew unlocks the answers, keeping everyone on the edge of their seat. Scooby Doo: Escape from the Haunted Mansion is made for one or more players, ages 12 and up.

With at least an hour of playtime in store, you can tackle it all in one sitting, or break up the tension into two game nights! Either way, you’re in store for a one-of-a-kind gameplay experience with your favorite “meddling kids!” Keep an eye on our social channels for sneak peeks about how to play, the design team, and more from this officially licensed Coded Chronicles™ escape room game, exclusively from The Op!

The land to the east is the home of the beast folk. They started from nothing to create just a little plot of land that they could call their own to homestead. Now, your characters can go and see what they're up to in Untamed Lands, the new expansion book for Ponyfinder. It's got not just info about the people and the region, but new gear, new spells, new class options, and more. You can pick up your copy now.

From the website:

In the east, lurks those who had no place to call their own. They carved out a land and defended it against all comers. Welcome to the Untamed Lands, home of the beast folk of all shapes and sizes. From nomadic tribes to great citadels of iron, these besieged people are willing to defend what is theirs. Are you visiting, or are you one of them yourself, seeking adventure within their sparse nation or beyond. Humans to the south, Orcs to the west, and far more exotic creatures the further you go in any direction, Everglow never lacks for interesting places to be and perhaps die in.

This books includes:

• Beast Folk, a richly evolved ancestry with dozens of options for Pathfinder 2.
• More specific beast folk for Pathfinder, Pathfinder 2, and 5th edition, using the rules first established in Hybrid Blood.
• Beast tribes to belong to with unique treats, feats, and magic.
• Towns and locations within the Untamed Lands to visit.

Looney Labs are masters at making quick, little, fun games that can fit in your pocket. They tend to take simple mechanics and pieces and turn them into something greater. Well, they're looking to expand their game line by four new sets. As such, they've launched their Pyramid Quartet Kickstarter campaign.

From the campaign:

Pyramid Quartet is a set of 4 portable and delightful abstract games that use these Looney Pyramids. You can take them anywhere and play them everywhere! With a wide range of game styles, there’s something for everyone!  

Nomids is a fast and very easy game with a simple goal: get rid of all your pyramids first. Each player starts with one of each size, all different colors. A roll of the special die provides a variety of different actions players can use to move pieces around. If you build a matching set you can dump 3 pieces at once. First player with no 'mids wins! The Nomids set includes a trio of all ten colors in Pyramid Arcade, making it the perfect set of building blocks for expansion. For a few more details about Nomids, check out this article about the development of the game from Andy's blog.

Ice Duo is actually two complete games in one box: Ice Dice and Twin Win. Ice Dice is a press-your-luck game that was specifically designed to be an introductory game for the pyramids. It features a special pair of dice designed for this game but useful now for many others. Twin Win is a quick little hidden-goal game that has turned out to be the sleeper hit of games in Pyramid Arcade.  The Ice Duo set contains 2 trios each of five colors (red, yellow, green, cyan, and purple). 

Martian Chess is a fast and easy to learn Chess-style game with a difference that really makes you think: ownership of pieces is determined not by color, but by location on the gameboard. For this new edition, we are creating a new color, chrome silver, and since color has no meaning in this game, all 18 pieces in the set will be of this new color. Old-school fans can think of this as being like a new monochrome stash expansion. 

Homeworlds is a complex-yet-elegant abstract strategy game: an epic interstellar space war with no luck and no hidden information. Using just 36 pyramids, Homeworlds is actually a 4X conquest game (Expand, Explore, Exploit, Exterminate) with amazing depth of gameplay. It features the four classic colors, which each provide specfic powers in the game (red for attack, yellow for movement, green for growth, and blue for transformation). This is the game Andy Looney likes so much he will give a medal to anyone who can beat him. (So far, only 19 people have. )

The campaign's more than 2x funded with 26 days left to go.
