Popular Post Kyle Posted July 24, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 24, 2019 Hey Wyrdos, This week, we only heard from Waldo after he called us on accident. Apparently, he had hallucinated due to walking in the heat for so long and thought he was ordering a pepperoni pizza. He rambled on about seeing flying horses, and let us know that he might catch a ride with them in order to make the trip a little bit shorter. So while he’s out dreaming of garlic knots and grandiose guardians, let’s check out a brand new digital release for Through the Breach, the Obsidian Gate! Fatemasters, shuffle your deck and wrangle some miscreants and ne’er-do-wells to the table, because it’s time for you and the Fated to dive back in for another adventure. This time, we’re headed back to Earth, starting in a sleepy coastal town in Japan. Nothing bad happens in quiet, peaceful places, right? …Right? You might remember the global RPG campaign that we ran last year, which impacted future releases for The Other Side (more on Dr. John Watson soon!). Fatemasters ran their Fated through trial and tribulation, many of whom died along the way (only to later come back as one of the other fourteen characters available in the adventure). For those that managed to make their way to the end, they saw a glimpse of what is to come for the people of Earth, and for the next looming challenge they will need to face. For those who didn’t have the chance to dip their toes into the Obsidian Gate, don’t fret. Now the four-act adventure is available on DriveThruRPG (with a physical book coming early in the fourth quarter of this year). The best part? You can download it right now. No preview. No playtesting. No waiting in line. That’s not the only thing we’re covering this week, though. As an addition to our digital release of the Obsidian Gate on DriveThruRPG, we have also released Malifaux Third Edition stat cards for all of our July releases. Here’s a list of what you can find either on our website or on Wargame Vault right now: Lady Justice Core Box (which includes Lady Justice, The Judge, Scales of Justice, and 3 Death Marshals) Marcus Core Box (which includes Marcus, Myranda, the Jackalope, and 3 Order Initiates) Loyalty to Coin box (of which the two new cards that are now available are the new Student of Conflict and the new Taelor stat cards) If you don’t want to be spoiled in the Obsidian Gate adventure, I’d suggest closing out of this browser window now, because we’re about to reveal a model that will be coming to The Other Side, but is also in the adventure itself. This is your last chance to keep yourself spoiler-free! Really, I’m warning you! All right. If you didn’t already know, the next two Allegiances that will be coming to The Other Side are the Three Kingdoms and the Kimon. In the Obsidian Gate, you’ll be running across a few oni. The one in particular that we’ll be covering today will also be a playable unit in the Kimon Allegiance when the second book arrives early-ish next year. According to legend, the Quilin once roamed the Earth in packs, trampling what stood in their path to dust, until they were tricked into believing that the dirt beneath their hooves was not worthy of their touch, and from that day forward, they raced across the skies instead. In the Other Side, the Quilin are an incredibly mobile unit that are capable of charging across the battlefield in a matter of seconds. When in Glory, the Quilin can take Morale Actions as part of a Rush Order instead of Melee Actions. This provides them with an unparalleled capability to claim Objectives during a game. But these oni are not one-trick ponies; they have the powerful debuffing Ability, Protect Kindred, which allows them to spread Shaken tokens across their enemies when a nearby friendly Kimon is attacked. Below, you can see what one of them will look like on the table, with both the art and the render of their upcoming model. Waldo will be with us next week at Gen Con, so there won’t be a Waldo’s Weekly. When we get back, we’ll have plenty more to show. See you then. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saduhem Posted July 25, 2019 Report Share Posted July 25, 2019 I'm still painting all the Cult/Hordes models I kickstarted.... I guess Kimon and Court of Two are going to prolong that process. The model is gorgeous! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeysword Posted July 25, 2019 Report Share Posted July 25, 2019 Three Kingdom and Kimon, this is the best NEWS I have heard this month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chou Posted July 25, 2019 Report Share Posted July 25, 2019 Wonderful model! And great to see new releases for TOS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rufess Posted July 25, 2019 Report Share Posted July 25, 2019 I thought the next allegiance would be Guild according to previous info. It makes sense that, however, Guild is so busy handling with Malifaux and have no time to deal with Earth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guild and Court of Two are definitely still things, they said in the newsletter the two player starter including them will come out sometime after Gen Con. Kimon and Three Kingdoms are next after that, "early-ish next year" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Guild and Two Courts were getting their big release from the starter set that's supposed to come out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Posted July 25, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2019 The Guild and Court of Two will be the next releases (namely the Starter Box), but as shown on our Kickstarter and in other correspondences, these Allegiances won't be as large as the current four. The Guild and Court of Two are intended to be treated as more supplementary roles for other Allegiances, but can still be played on their own, as well. We'll have more info about them when get closer to their release. The Kimon and Three Kingdoms are the focus of the next major book release for The Other Side. These two will be as large as the core four Allegiances in the first TOS book. These will be coming out after Guild and Court of Two content for The Other Side. Hope that clears things up. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AverageGatsby Posted May 18, 2021 Report Share Posted May 18, 2021 So I realized the pandemic has blown original plans up in the air at this point, but as a time traveler who has been riding the temporal anomalies for some time now, I was wondering if there were further clarifications on what's coming down the pipeline in the "future". The two player starter box is slated for the autumn(yeah!) and the next major book release will feature the Three Kingdoms and Kimon. Do we have a rough estimate for that book release or are things still pretty touch and go at this point? Anyway, I'll probably head out again, I'll check back a week ago.
