Green Ronin Publishing Press Release - Dragon Age in 2014

From the Green Ronin Publishing Website

Good news, everyone—Dragon Age Set 3 is finished and we'll be releasing the PDF and putting it up for pre-order shortly. This has been a long time coming, as fans of the game know only too well. So long, in fact, that we've been put in a difficult position. Allow me to explain.

As I'm sure you know, the next video game, Dragon Age: Inquisition, is coming out in October. At our last summit we agreed that this would be a good time to release a core rulebook that compiled the rules from Sets 1-3. It is something people have been asking about since the day Set 1 came out and this seemed an opportune time to launch it. Inquisition is going to spike Dragon Age excitement and what better time to release an all-in-one core rulebook for the RPG, right?

After Action Report – Strategic & Adventure Game Association Game Day @ El Toro Public Library, July 12, 2014

We had a great turn out for the Game Day at the El Toro Public Library.  26 people were  there with six games being played at any one time.

I played three games at the event.  Two games were from the Empire Builder family of games.

For those that are unfamiliar with the Empire Builder games here is a brief description of how they are played.  The players own railroad companies that are competing to build rail lines and move freight from one city to another based on a set of demand cards that they have.  Once a demand on a demand card is completed the player discards it and draws a new one from the deck.  Included in the demand card deck are a number of disaster cards which include things like derailments and river floods which impede the player’s progress to victory.

After Action Report – Board Game Night @ Comic Quest, July 10, 2014

I finally attended a gaming event in July after being away at Amine Expo last week.  My first event for the month was Board Game Night at Comic Quest.  There were around 30 people at the event with six games being played at any one time.

                      

I was able to play two games at the event.

The first game was Alhambra.  In Alhambra players are trying to build the best palace complex by acquiring buildings that enhance increase its value.  The more expensive the building the more versatility it has in the way of being able to build more additions to the complex.
