Runewars.

It’s the latest big box game from Fantasy Flight, and now you can download the rules for free and get yourself all prepped for playing it. It’s a great thing, getting the rules in advance, particularly when the rulebook is 394 PAGES LONG! (It isn’t).

Go straight to THE SITE for the download link, and get ready to .pdf the night away in a world of fantasy, all you .pdfiles out there.

ZOZ!

BOOM! Here it is!

20 new aliens, some new mechanics, and the ability to add a SIXTH PLAYER to the game. Brilliant.

Well, the first game has just been revealed, and it’s none of the above. It’s Runewars.

Size of this! FUCK!

Set in Terrinoth, the world where FF’s Runebound and Descent take place, it’s a game of conquest, adventure and fantasy empires for 2-4 players. And it features, get this – 3D MOUNTAIN TERRAIN!

Go and look at Fantasy Flight’s minisite for the game to find out more. GO!

Fantasy Flight has just announced the upcoming release of Arkham Horror Investigator Packs, each containing two miniatures. Which means there must be many, many packs on the way if all the investigators from the game are to be covered.

You can read about the new minis here, and you can gaze at the photo below and try to look up her skirt or down her dress, or whatever it is you do with miniatures in your own home.

UPDATE: These are now cancelled because people didn’t want them. BYE!

The cover - Delicious.

Colour illustrations on the inside. A beautiful book.

You have your own starship. What more do you need to know?

Starship combat. Battles in space. Boarding parties. Yum.

A big thick book. A big beeyooty.

I’ll be reading the book this week and updating you fine people with more thoughts via my Twitter feed.

And then, after I get it on the table, I’ll review it for your pleasure.

Zaa Ooo Zaa!

The game allows players to explore the 40K universe as a team of rakish rogues who are out to financially benefit from a future of ONLY WAR. And they have a big spaceship. And you can tool it up and go to war in it. Space battles. Yes.

Want more? You’ll get more very soon. DowntimeTown will be receiving a review copy, will be running a campaign, and will be filling you in on all the details.

Keep you posted!

New races will be introduced to the game, along with new powers, and many of these additions have been designed and suggested by players of the game.

We’ll be talking about the base game soon enough on this site, but you can read more about the expansions at the Days of Wonder website.

Descent: Sea of Blood is the name of the brand new Descent campaign setting, and Fantasy Flight is stepping up their efforts in letting us know all about it.

The new campaign lets adventurers set sail on a ship, travel to islands and new dungeons, and deal with all-new Overlords and aquatic encounters.

Descent is a big favourite of the DowntimeTown players, so we’ll be checking out the new FAQ on the Fantasy Flight site – you can check it out with us right HERE.

Fantasy Flight have announced a game called Letter of Marque, which sees you playing the part of bold corsairs carrying valuable wares across the high seas. In card form.

It’s something else to get excited about in this amazing year for tabletop gaming. Read about it on the Fantasy Flight site and gaze at the delicious box art RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW:

Fantasy Flight were previously only the publishers of the game, but now they have the whole shebang within their grasp. What does this mean for us?

Hopefully, it’ll mean a faster turnaround in expansions for the game. Certainly Fantasy Flight have promised a new second edition of the game and more releases to bolster the squads of the Union and the Reich. And the next release is a map supplement called Daedalus.

You can read their official announcement at the Fantasy Flight website. And you can check out my review HERE.
