Pulp Fiction Comics & Games

Multiple centuries in the future, the Sedition Wars rage on.

In the Battle for Alabaster, two players compete in a head-to-head miniature game unlike any other.  Designed to be an extremely fast-paced system for players who wish to avoid hour long miniature battles, Sedition Wars comes with all the essential miniatures for two armies.  An easy to learn rule system involving one-roll, reactive gameplay, Sedition Wars is a horror sci-fi miniature game for all ages.

Roses are red, violets are blue, rhymes are hard…lets talk about Cyrano.

Based on the real life Cyrano de Bergerac, this card based game has players creating sweet poetic serenades to woo the local females.  Each round begins with the placement of a theme card, deciding the tone and focus of the poem, as well as two rhyme cards.  Players then compete to create four line poems, using the communal rhyme cards to complete lines.  A secret voting round then decides the point payout based on how people voted.  So start thinking of those rhyming couplets.  Maybe even in iambic pentameter.

Just when you thought all the zombies had holes blown in their heads and tire treads over their chests, City of Horror rears its head.

Rule one of the zombie apocalypse is not in fact cardio, like Zombieland would have you believe, but watch your back.  The reason this is so important to City of Horrors is that players have incentive to screw over their opponents.  Each player controls various human characters, sending them around the board to complete necessary survival actions.  But beware zombies who are ready to storm the buildings at any time and people who are ready to push you in front of them to save their own hide.  A cutthroat game of survival, City of Horror is the newest zombie adventure on the block.

Every good RPG system requires a GM’s toolkit nowadays, so the Warmachine RPG, Iron Kingdoms, receives one this weekend.  Coming with a game screen, ten initiative cards, ten life spiral cards, an encounter sheet, and a character sheet, this toolkit is essential for any self-respecting game master.

The force is strong with the newest Star Wars LCG Force Pack, A Dark Time introduces sixty new cards into the game, many featuring the evils of the Sith and the Empire.
