Lucidicide Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 Hello Wyrdos, For today's Monday Preview, we bring you Darkness Comes Rattling, an upcoming cooperative board game created by Kevin Wilson in collaboration with Wyrd! Darkness Comes Rattling is set in a world where the snake Darkness, borne of Mother Moon, has swallowed the sun and plunged the world into night. The players take on the roles of warriors from the many Tribes of Man, who have come together to try to save their world! Darkness Comes Rattling is a unique new world for players to enjoy and explore in this fast-paced new board game. The preview art above shows one of the Challenge cards (both front and back). This Challenge requires the warriors to roll a 17 or higher on 3d6 in order to succeed. Luckily, the warriors have many tools at their disposal to give them bonuses, including modifiers and re-rolls. As the warriors explore the world, they will be confronted with many challenges and be forced to make the hard decisions about what they can achieve and what they can't -- all while staving off the corruption and shadows that Darkness is letting loose upon the land. Time is running out before Darkness extinguishes the sun once and for all. Can you gather the spirit weapons needed to defeat Darkness in time? Darkness Comes Rattling will come out later in 2015. You can go here to download some game wallpapers. And for all you Malifaux fans, we've got some news for you: You are able to get a special edition Grave Spirit in certain Tara crew boxes at your local game store. In addition to this promotion, Wyrd is also having a beginning-of-April Easter sale. More details on both these events will be available soon (as well as your April Wyrd Chronicles). Stay tuned! And don't forget -- tomorrow is the last day to sign up for the Iron Painter! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

valhallan42nd Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 I like the background. It's gloomy enough for Wyrd without being tied to the Malifaux background. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirial Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 So, Native American Snake Monster sounds to be a really kick-ass game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myyrä Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 Nice art, but I don't really like how this preview doesn't actually tell anything about the game (except that there is dice rolling involved). Seems too much like an advertisement for my liking. It's not like I expect all that much from these previews, but at least I know what I'm looking at when looking at Malifaux renders or art.2/5. Hoping to see more Malifaux stuff next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green_Lumux Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 PLEEEEEAAAASE consider making miniatures of the players characters!!! they look amazing!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guslado Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 Very cool! I look forward to giving that game a try. On the front of Tara and the special edition grave spirit, will this be a new sculpt for the grave spirit or special colored or translucent plastic of the existing sculpt?

SpectreEliteGaming Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 Do my eyes deceive me or is the special edition performer for the easter sale the same as the special edition performer for last black friday sale? Why does it look different? Do I want it to look different? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
