Fantasy Flight Games Announces ‘Dark Heresy 2nd Edition’
Monday, May 5th, 2014
Fantasy Flight Games has released more details about the upcoming release of Dark Heresy Second Edition. This updated version of its rolep-laying game set in the grim dystopian future of the Warhammer 40,000 universe is scheduled to release in the third quarter of 2014.
Like the previous edition, this new version casts the players in the role of “acolytes” who serve a mysterious and powerful Inquisitor. The acolytes are tasked with uncovering and investigating plots in a secret war against the Imperium. The Second Edition introduces a new sector of the Imperium, called the “Askellon Sector,” providing an entirely new area of mystery and conspiracy for fans of the game as well as continuing to flesh out the ever-growing Warhammer 40,000 setting.
The 448-page, full-color hardcover rulebook includes complete rules for stand-alone adventures and on-going campaigns, a short introductory story written by Dan Abnett (Guant’s Ghost series), background information about the Askellon Sector and the Imperium of Man, and an introductory adventure, Dark Pursuits.
The new edition was developed based on feedback from the earlier edition’s thousands of fans, including a public beta program run by Fantasy Flight in 2013. Rules changes include new player classes, integrated vehicle combat rules, a streamlined character creation system, and an NPC “threat rating” system to help gamemasters design encounters.
Dark Heresy Second Edition will be supported by the release of a Dark Heresy Second Edition Game Master’s Kit, also scheduled to release in the third quarter with a suggested retail price of $24.95.

‘Super Dungeon Explore: Forgotten King’ Announced
Monday, April 28th, 2014
Soda Pop Miniatures has announced yet another completed, successful Kickstarter funding campaign, netting $1,151,889 from 6,589 backers to fund the new companion board game Super Dungeon Explore: Forgotten King. It is Soda Pop’s first solo publishing product since they recently ended their publishing arrangement with CoolMiniOrNot. It fell just short of the Top 10 Tabletop Kickstarters, a sign of how difficult it is now to crack that list.
A stand-alone companion game for the anime-styled, hack and slash dungeon exploration board game Super Dungeon Explore, Forgotten King takes place in Crystalia, and the heroes must journey to the dungeon and destroy all the spawning points for monsters raised by the Dark Consul. When the spawning points are destroyed, they create a mini-boss which must be defeated to earn loot, treasure and princess coins. The game contains two play modes, Classic and Arcade.
The game will contain 57 preassembled miniatures, 6 double-sided dungeon tiles, counters, game cards and a rule book. Soda Pop Miniatures confirmed that the game is projected for December release, after backer fulfillment.
If you enjoy Super Dungeon Explore, you’ll love this game! And you can bet Battleground Games & Hobbies will have it, just as soon as it’s available, for your enjoyment.
Soda Pop Miniatures has also released expansions for Super Dungeon Explore, including Caverns of Roxor and Von Drakk Manor – both of which are available at Battleground Games & Hobbies!
