One of my favorite fantasy fighting games is Frostgrave. Quick and relatively inexpensive to reach, fun to play and with as much campaign depth as you want. This year, the 2nd edition of the game was released. The new edition doesn`t change many rules, just tidy up and streamline things, adds sequences of expansions (e.g., an expanded spell list, new scenarios), and there are all the new illustrations and thumbnail photos. If you`re already an FGV fan, check out The Red King, the first major addition to the campaign for FGV 2e. For 2 to 8 players. This 5th D&D Rules expansion book has. Well, a little bit of everything. It includes advanced subclasses, character options to change racial stereotypes. uh, I mean features, rules for group guests, more spells, artifacts, and magic tattoos (because MAGIC TATTOOS!), rules for sidekicks, and supernatural environments. And something I find very fun and useful: a collection of puzzles (with traps) that you can drop in an adventure. The book received some initial bad reactions because it feels beaten (e.g., the section on custom races/origins is a single page) and Wizards gets warmth for what seems to be a lot of ill-bound copies.
It may be time for them to look for a new printer. To update players on Cyberpunk Red, the latest installment in Mike Pondsmith`s Cyberpunk RPG, R. Talsorian Games has released a beautiful starter box called Cyberpunk Red Jumpstart Kit. The game includes two booklets, one containing the world history and starting adventures, the other basic rules, six pre-generated character sheets, six cyberpunk-style dice (2 d10, 4 d6), cardboard cards and character holders. It`s a great way to get your feet wet in the cyberpunk RPG universe. The full Cyberpunk Red Core rulebook is available on R. Talsorian`s website. I don`t know if it`s already shipped or not. (FWIW: The Cyberpunk 2077 video game is set in the same universe as these tabletop RPGs.)

TASHA`S CAULDRON OF EVERYTHING (D&D RULES EXPANSION) ($30) This was one of my favorite gaming experiences of 2020. It`s a truly addictive single-player journaling game that literally haunted my dreams. Here`s my full Boing Boing review earlier this year. Solo play. A PDF version can be found here. Another favorite for 2020 was Doc Popular`s Knife Tank, “a portable strategy game with kinetic gameplay, imaginative art, and tanks with knives.” Here`s my full review. For 2-4 players. Get the base game plus three expansions and Kickstarter`s exclusive So Bad It`s Good deck. (Does not include bridge NC-17.) One of the games we love here at Branwyn is the prequel to Escape the Dark Sector, Escape the Dark Castle.
It`s a simple deep dungeon game that`s surprisingly reminiscent of a much more detailed board game, or RPG. Escape the Dark Sector brings the same type of exploration card game and combat monster to a space station. For 1 to 4 players. My partner and I love playing this little card game of Peer Sylvester. They play the garden clubs of two different villages, competing for the first place green village. The artwork is beautiful, the game is easy to learn and there are plenty of puzzles to solve to get the most ribbon rewards at the end. For 1 to 5 players. Looking for gifts for table players? Here are some of my suggestions, based on games I enjoyed this year. and games I`d like to see under my Alcoa aluminum tree this year. This beautiful art book brings together all the artwork that Dmitry and Kate Burmak made for Frostgrave 1e.
Lots of informative commentary from Burma and FGV designer Joe McCullough. A great gift for any fan of fantastic art of sword and witchcraft. Read my full review. In this Questing Beast video, Ben Will walks through Doyle`s one-sided “Quintessential Dungeon” map and explains why he thinks it`s the perfect dungeon to run as a beginner`s starting adventure. It also explains why this style of dungeon mapping is so great and conveys so much important and useful information at a glance. READ THE REST DARK SECTOR: THE GAME OF DEEP SPACE ADVENTURE ($55) This single-player game is highly recommended by my friend and game designer Doc Pop (him from Knife Tank). You can read a review of Doc here. I hope to get a copy and check it here in the future.

His last is a demon box that coincides with the Red King`s campaign. Not only can these versatile mini-battles be used in Frostgrave, but they`re also great for the miniatures you create for any agnostic fantasy mini-battle or full tabletop fighting games. (I`ve even used parts of the Frostgrave Minis in my Gaslands cars!) And for children or older children who have already been conquered by a universe and want even more, it is possible to extend the adventure through colorings and drawings of your favorite characters and imaginary worlds.
