This is not a full new edition and the version published by Ulisses Spiele will be fully compatible with this revised rulebook, including all dice and card decks and the two published adventures, [I]Blessings Unheralded [/I]and [I]Dark Tides[/I]. [URL='https://www.drivethrurpg.com/browse/pub/54/Cubicle-7-Entertainment-Ltd/subcategory/179_28727/Wrath--Glory?affiliate_id=36142']Cubicle 7 also now has the full product line available on their Drive Thru page[/URL] and, while the original product line is available, it’s unsure whether they will be updated when the revised edition is published. It’s also unknown if the original design team of [I]Wrath and Glory [/I]will return for the revised edition.

[CENTER] [ATTACH type="full"]112837[/ATTACH][/CENTER] [URL='https://www.humblebundle.com/books/puzzle-games-lone-shark-books?partner=gamerstavern&charity=1326853']Lone Shark Games partnered with Humble Bundle to offer the Puzzles, Puzzles, and Games Bundle, but don’t let the title fool you as this is heavier on the games than the puzzles[/URL]. In addition to books on crosswords, logic puzzles, and more, it also features several tabletop games and roleplaying/storytelling games. The $1 level includes the base game of [I]Apocrypha, [/I]a campaign adventure card game for one to six people designed by Mike Selinker with writing from Patrick Rothfuss and Matt Forbeck. The $8 level includes two expansions for [I]Apocrypha[/I] plus [I]Hastur Horta Hodor Mordor[/I], a memory tongue-twister card game from Mike Selinker and John Kovalic. The highest level of $15 includes the award-winning [I]Unspeakable Words[/I], a word game similar to [I]Scrabble [/I]but with a Lovecraftian twist featured on Wil Wheaton’s [I]Tabletop[/I]. This bundle runs until Monday, August 5. [URL='https://www.humblebundle.com/books/science-fiction-fantasy-jaberwocky-books?partner=gamerstavern&charity=1326853']Additionally, the Fantastic Science Fiction & Fantasy Bundle with over twenty DRM-free ebooks is still available until Wednesday, July 31[/URL] as is the [URL='https://www.humblebundle.com/software/learn-game-development-software?partner=gamerstavern&charity=1326853']Learn Game Development Bundle with lessons on Unity game creation[/URL] and [URL='https://www.humblebundle.com/books/garth-ennis-and-more-books?partner=gamerstavern&charity=1326853']the Dynamite Comics bundle featuring the full twelve-volumes run of Garth Ennis’s [I]The Boys [/I](soon to be a television series from Amazon) along with many other comics[/URL]. [CENTER] [ATTACH type="full"]112838[/ATTACH][/CENTER] The first [I]Chivalry & Sorcery [/I]was one of the first tabletop roleplaying games originally published in 1977 by Fantasy Games Unlimited. [URL='https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/cns5/chivalry-and-sorcery-the-medieval-role-playing-game?ref=enworld']Now, a brand-new edition of the classic game with updated mechanics is up on Kickstarter[/URL]. This 500-page hardback features all the rules you need to run a game and craft a campaign setting perfect for you, with tools to adjust the level of magic and technology available so you can play anything from historical simulationist all the way to high fantasy. You can get the core rulebook in PDF for £20 (about US$25) or in color hardback for £40 (about US$50), with levels £10 higher for each to get stretch goals. This Kickstarter is fully-funded and runs until Wednesday, July 31. [URL='https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/limitless-adventures/the-blood-queens-defiance?ref=enworld']There’s been a slew of 5e-compatible adventures, but I’m not sure I’ve seen one quite like [I]Blood Queen’s Defiance[/I] for pretty much one reason: It doesn’t require a DM[/URL]. This set features three linked adventures to take characters from 1[SUP]st[/SUP] to 4[SUP]th[/SUP] level as the party defends the sleepy village of Oakvale from the forces of the mysterious Blood Queen. Instead of printing encounters in a book, though, the adventure has each encounter printed on cards (81 total for each adventure) to be divided among the players in order to craft the session’s adventure, with non-random cards for important plot encounters including the intro and ending encounters. A print-and-play version is available for $20, while the printed version is available for $40. This Kickstarter is fully funded and runs until Wednesday, July 31. That’s all from me for this week!
