Reply To: Interesting News From Monolith

I’m fine with it, but I’ve played so many “custom dice” games (eg. HeroQuest, Descent) that I don’t find the game engine all that interesting.

“Second Life is based on the observation that over the last few years, players have been accumulating more and more miniatures, which are seeing less time on the table. As a result, they tend to remain in their boxes, gathering dust, rather than gracing the game boards. In response, Monolith will offer, for excellent price points, VERSUS MODE THS kits * consisting of character tiles, equipment cards, as well as game maps and associated Scenarios. At first, these Kits will concern our proprietary worlds (Mythic Battle Pantheon, Mythical Battle Ragnarök, Claustrophobia), but very soon, they will be accompanied by many other universes, whose licenses are already being discussed and negotiated with other major market publishers. Some of these miniatures and settings from other popular games may already be on your shelf.”

Sounds good, although I’m still waiting for a Song of Blade and Heroes card format, where each ability is printed on its own separate card with its point value. I already found a way to do this… : https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/1989522/diy-point-value-and-trait-reference-cards-or-why-y
