Steamforged Games Reveal New Cygnar Gravedigger Auxiliaries

It’s been almost forty years since Ereb Altor was first introduced to the world in the Swedish Sinkadus magazine. It became the first major campaign world for the Dragonbane RPG and, thanks to Helmgast AB and Astrolab Game Studios, will be seeing an English-language release later this year after a crowdfunding campaign due this summer.

The Spiel des Jahres (Game of the Year) awards were first created in 1978, celebrating the best in board and card game design. Even being nominated for the award can bring in a massive sales boost for the games, with the winner often selling 500,000+ copies. It is one of the few awards in the games industry that has a major effect on sales and exposure. The awards, and nominations, are usually covered in the mainstream news in Germany.

London based design team The BoardGame Zone have launched a Kickstarter for an intriguing set of rings. Why are we, a gaming site, interested in these you may well be pondering?

Muhammad Ali, Bruce Lee, Raphael, Donatello, Michelangelo and Leonardo all walk into a pizza joint… all are icons and classic fighters but that’s not the only similarity between them any longer. Now they have all been immortalised in two new Unmatched sets by Iello which will be hitting stores next week.

An interesting little collection of booklets for anyone interested in Victorian, or occult themed, tabletop roelplaying games appeared on Kickstarter last night from indie Norwegian studio Two Starving Gnolls.
