New Games for November 1 – November 14, 2010

BOARD & CARD GAMES

Munchkin Go Up a Level
Munchkin: Go Up A Level is a “maintenance release” designed to replace cards from the sets that Munchkin players already have, and bringing them up to date with the changes to cards and rules that started with Munchkin 19th printing – that’s 132 cards, in total, spanning the entire Munchkin line

Frag Gold Edition FTW
Frag Gold Edition: FTW introduces new weapons, two new maps (which can be used side-by-side with the gameboard from Frag Gold, for nearly ten square feet of arena), two new types of terrain, and two new targets. Add the new scenarios, including the classic Last Man Standing, and FTW is primed to live up to its name!

Munchkin Santas Revenge
“The Munchkin was sleeping all snug in his bed, when Santa came back with a BOOT TO THE HEAD!” Hot on the heels of Munchkin: Waiting for Santa comes the inevitable sequel, Munchkin: SantaÕs Revenge! Santa is back and he wants to get even, with new monstrous friends and a bag full of new holiday treasures for little munchkins everywhere! Each expansion pack contains 15-cards, offered in 10-count displays.

Zombie Survival Game
The mysterious event that has animated the dead has also given them an unhealthy appetite – for your brains! The only way to survive is to fortify your house and make your stand! How long can you survive? In Zombie Survival, you choose your provisions to survive a zombie apocalypse by first selecting items to place in your house, including weapons, lumber, gas, first aid, etc. Then, your fears are brought to light as the zombies venture forth, tearing down your barricades and creeping in. You may have a chance to make it to town for additional supplies, hopefully avoiding the zombies there, leaving your family to defend against the walking dead. But, did you prepare for power outages, contaminated water, sickness, and fatigue?

With new career options, cargoes, and ships, Merchant Prince is an invaluable companion to all Traveller players.

Doctor Who: Aliens and Creatures
In the vast expanse of space wait creatures beyond the imagination. Mutants housed in impenetrable armor, vast criminal families that disguise themselves in the skins of their victims, and thousands of cloned soldiers ready to conquer and crush. This supplement for the Doctor Who: Adventures in Time and Space roleplaying game details many of the creatures faced in the Doctor’s latest adventures including the Cybermen, the Cult of Skaro, Davros, the Weeping Angels, and the Hath, as well as additional rules for creating your own creatures both as enemies or as playable characters.

Pathfinder Chronicles Misfit Monsters Redeemed
Over the course of its decades-long history, fantasy gaming has produced countless monsters both terrifying and alien, some pulled from mythology and others sprung full-formed from the twisted imaginations of their creators. Yet as with any idea, not every monster can be a winner. Or can it? With Misfit Monsters Redeemed, Paizo Publishing has taken 10 of the most notoriously bad monsters in RPG history—the lamest, most hated, and flat-out silliest creatures in the genre—and attempted to make them fun allies and adversaries for players and Game Masters alike. Each monster comes complete with updated statistics for the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game, lengthy ecologies explaining how the monsters behave and why they are the way they are, tips on how Game Masters can use them in a campaign, notes on how to fit the monsters into the world of the Pathfinder campaign setting or your own home game, and more.

Champions Villains V1 Master Villain
A good hero needs fiendish villains to fight – and the Champions Universe has all the villains you could want! Champions Villains Volume I covers master villains like Dr. Destroyer, Mechanon, and Teleios, and every other major world-threatening mastermind of the Champions Universe!

Second Gamma World Game Demo Added!

Response to the new Gamma World and our Gamma World day was overwhelmingly positive, and we’ve had a lot of requests for more, so we’re going to be running another Gamma World game on Sunday, December 5th!

The game will run from approximately noon to 5 PM, and will be a different adventure from the one that was run on Gamma World Game Day. We will have only one table running, with a capacity for six players, so send an email to roguesgallerytx@gmail.com if you’d like to sign up! We’ll take alternates past the first six players, but we do ask, due to the high demand, that you only sign up to play if you’re fairly sure you can make it, so that we don’t wind up turning away interested folks and then having empty chairs.

No purchase is required, character generation will be done at the table, although players are welcome to bring their 1st level Gamma World character from Game Day or one of their own campaigns if they’d like.

ROLE-PLAYING GAMES

100 Horror Adventure Seeds
This roleplaying supplement contains 100 generic horror plots for use with your horror games. Each plot consists of a premise, three twists, and an epilogue.

Shadowrun Darkest Hour Dawn o/t Artifacts
Sixth World scholars have long hypothesized the cyclical nature of magic. For years corporations, collectors and other factions have spent fortunes hunting down surviving relics of this mythical age. The shadows whisper of lost lore and a secret history to the world. A privileged few have come into possession of ancient items of great power and mysterious purpose, artifacts from before recorded history. Now it’s your turn… Eighteen months ago, the Phaistos Disk was stolen from the Herakleion Museum in Athens. Now, Mr. Johnson needs you to find it and bring it back. The hunt will take the runners through the shadows of Europe, and lead to interactions with smugglers, art dealers, and archaeologists. If they survive Interpol, Aztechnology, and an eccentrically violent shadowrunner team, they may just learn who is behind the hunt and why. Darkest Hour is the third chapter of the Dawn of the Artifacts storyline. This continuing storyline explores the secret history of Shadowrun, and offers clues to the true mastermind behind the hunt for the artifacts

Battletech Jihad Hot Spots Terra
Tearing Down the Walls! For more than ten years, the Word of Blake’s Jihad has engulfed the states of the Inner Sphere and the invading Clans in chaos and fire. Reeling from attacks on all fronts, realms have fought one another while the Word’s masters built a powerful Protectorate around humanity’s home: Terra. But with the rise of a resourceful rebel leader, Devlin Stone, the collective might of the Great Houses and rival Clans have united for an all-out assault against the Protectorate – one that can only end when humanity’s home is free once again! Seen from the eyes of those who fight and die in this epic struggle, Jihad Hot Spots: Terra includes articles and intelligence excerpts from across the Inner Sphere, along with additional rules and campaign tracks for both BattleTech campaigns played using the Total Warfare and A Time of War game rules. This sourcebook also provides a rare, in-depth look at the Terran system itself, including the history and varied cultures who live on these most revered worlds.

Cthulhu Dice Bag
When Cthulhu eats your sanity, you’re in trouble. But when he eats your dice, he’ll give them back. The Cthulhu Dice Bag is soft plush, with far more eyes, tentacles, and wings than any ordinary dice bag. He’ll hold dozens of ordinary six-siders or non-Euclidean polyhedrons in his zippered pouch. Or, of course, Sanity tokens from Cthulhu Dice. Or cursed jewels, or gravel, or bus tokens, or all of them together. Just remember that to get them out, you have to put your hand inside Cthulhu. If you are okay with that, this is the perfect dice bag for you. Using the Cthulhu Dice Bag in summoning rituals is not recommended, but mostly because summoning Cthulhu is really a bad idea. Just let him hold your dice.

Exalted 2 Glories of the Most High
The Secrets of the Incarnae Revealed! Glories of the Most High reveals many secrets of these higher powers, and a slew of new materials to use in your Exalted series including dozens of new Charms as well as additional secrets, rites, characters, and errata.

Gamma World Game Day – October 23, 2010!

Our Gamma World Game Day will run from 12:45 – 4:30 on Saturday, October 23rd!

Sign up for our Gamma World Game Day by sending us an email or telling us you want to sign up next time you’re in the store! To play, you’ll need to pick up 2 Gamma World Booster packs, but we’ll be selling them at 50% off to everyone participating, which means it’ll only cost you $3.99 for two packs.

Experience the return of an old classic in a new play experience using the D&D 4th Edition rules engine! The D&D Gamma World game is a fast, furious romp through a post-apocalyptic Earth where mutant heroes face-off against killer robots, alien weirdness, and strange irradiated creatures. Gamma World Game Day features an exclusive 4-hour adventure called Trouble in Freesboro, written by Robert Schwalb, which includes an online feature to the game that if accessed during game play can provide the players with a valuable clue. The game day kit also contains 2 different D&D Gamma World cards, available nowhere else, and awarded to players and DMs just for participating! More details on the adventure are below.

Gamma World Game Day: Trouble in Freesboro
It’s shocking how the Big Mistake completely obliterated some places while others got by relatively unscathed. Freesboro falls into the latter camp, but if Genghis Tangh has his way, life will never be the same for the mutants of Gamma Terra. Delve into the origins of the Big Mistake as you take on Tangh and his forces! Pick up a D&D Gamma World Boxed Set, a few booster packs of power cards, and create your own characters in an exciting new Game Day experience! A D&D Gamma World Game Day adventure designed for 4-6 characters of 1st level.

To sign up for our Gamma World Game Day, just send us an email or tell us next time you’re in the shop!
