The Cthulhu touched Theomachy

February 6, 2015 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

One way to get your clever card game made if you’re an indie European studio is to impress Sandy Petersen. It also tends to attract Cthulhu. I think Theomachy is worth checking out over on Kickstarter. [Back this Campaign] At the time of writing, Theomachy had funded with nearly a month still to collect cash […]

Succubus: The Reborn

March 29, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

[Back this Campaign] Mark Rein-Hagen co-founded the RPG publisher White Wolf and created iconic games like Vampire: The Masquerade and Werewolf: The Apocalypse. His next game might be Succubus: The Reborn if this Kickstarter is successful. This game is very different from the storyteller RPGs. This is a card game in which players, working in […]

RPG stalwart AEG teamed up with mobile game experts Playdek to transform their Nightfall card game to an iOS app. In Nightfall supernatural forces like werewolves and vampires battle against one another.

Would you back zombies or werewolves in a fright to the death?

March 9, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Here’s another Kickstarter to tempt you. This time Chuck D Yager is asking you to back Zombies vs Werewolves. Which is scarier? Zombies or werewolves? The debate will rage. So, the goal of Zombies vs Werewolves is to find out which is scarier. From that brief demo it looked like the Werewolves had the high […]

Nightfall card preview: Enraged Wight

January 1, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The folks at AEG have bowed to Facebook pressure and released another preview card from their forthcoming Nightfall card game. It’s a ghoul card. It might well be the case that ghouls aren’t as common as vampires, werewolves and hunters in the base set. One might well imagine that expansions add rather more ghouls and […]

Nightfall: Charlotte Reyes

December 21, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Last night was not only a lunar eclipse for some parts of the world but the longest night. I’ve been told that that’s the first time that’s happened in 400 years. The clever folk at AEG have picked up on this and are using it an excuse to preview some of the art and card […]
