The game is based on the Magnus Protocol podcast, a stand-alone sequel to the award-winning Magnus Archives series by Rusty Quill.

Players step into the role of employees at the Office of Incident Assessment and Response (O.I.A.R.), a British civil service branch tasked with documenting and investigating supernatural events.

The game places players in the Response Department, where they must investigate unsettling incidents instead of simply filing reports like their coworkers. Through a series of new cases, players work alongside characters Sam, Alice, Celia, and Gwen to uncover the truth behind these mysterious occurrences. The cases are original, expanding on the world of the podcast with a mix of familiar and unfamiliar faces.

Listeners of the Magnus Protocol podcast can also explore the background of the game by listening to episode one of the series.

The campaign has raised $106,465 from 927 backers so far, with a funding goal of $10,000. The project runs until November 1.

Unleash Your Inner Hero with Astro Knights: Eternity – The Epic Stand-Alone Expansion https://www.tabletopgamingnews.com/unleash-your-inner-hero-with-astro-knights-eternity-the-epic-stand-alone-expansion/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=unleash-your-inner-hero-with-astro-knights-eternity-the-epic-stand-alone-expansion https://www.tabletopgamingnews.com/unleash-your-inner-hero-with-astro-knights-eternity-the-epic-stand-alone-expansion/#respond Thu, 04 May 2023 17:35:27 +0000 https://www.tabletopgamingnews.com/?p=9896 A new stand-alone expansion of the popular deck-building game Astro Knights has been announced on Kickstarter, and it’s already a huge success. The new game, called Astro Knights: Eternity, has exceeded its initial funding goal of US$20,000, raising an impressive US$90,446 from 1,277 backers in just a few days.

Astro Knights: Eternity is set in a distant future where the legendary Astro Knights have disappeared, leaving the galaxy defenseless. A new group of unlikely heroes must step up and become the new Astro Knights to face a new threat – a group of monsters that have awakened on a barren planet.

The game features a cooperative gameplay mode for 1-4 players, with a recommended age of 14+. Players will have 60 minutes to work together to defeat the Boss before it destroys their team or the Homeworld they’re defending. What’s unique about Astro Knights is that the players’ decks are never shuffled, adding a strategic element to the game that sets it apart from other deck-building games.

Astro Knights: Eternity also introduces new game mechanics and the all-new Expedition System, adding even more variety to an already diverse gameplay experience. The four bosses in the game each have their own decks and abilities, meaning that players will need to adapt their strategy based on the boss they’re facing.
