Reply To: Interesting News From Monolith

Do companies do that?  It’s common among RPGs, occasional in wargames (mostly miniatures agnostic games) and as far as i am aware very rare of in miniatures board games (usually rules get tweaked between games, for example Star Saga is subtly different to Dungeon Saga, Batman is subtly different to Conan). So within their own sphere this seems to be an interesting development because they are essentially taking a direction that is very similar to that of an RPG.

One of the things Monolith are saying in the arriva though,  is that they actually have 3 game engines which they could use for multiple different IPs.  They have the Mythic Battles engine, THS System (Conan and Batman) and they also have the Claustrophobia engine.  They’re negotiating more potential licences agreements for the future that they will release as Universe Boxes intended for use with one of those three game engines.

It will be interesting to see whether or not the next Conan kickstarter includes the THS engine as a separate item.
