I know we're all focused on the Obsidian app, but is there any news on the Mummy's Mask PACG? I loved S&S, but didn't care enough of WotR to finish it. I'm hoping MM brings back the sleeker gameplay from the first two games.

I know many of us on here helped Kickstart Lone Shark's Apocrypha ACG, a game that shares many of the same mechanics as PACG. In fact, Apocrypha is the original game pitched by Lone Shark to Paizo that they subsequently adapted to the Pathfinder universe. The most recent update in the Apocrypha campaign had some significant news. What caught my eye the most, though, was this - "Every chapter now has a different set of mission-based mechanics. The things you will do in the Damned chapter are different than what you will do in the Golems chapter. For example, the Skinwalkers chapter is organized around the Chicago L train system, while the Fae chapter is built around a motorcycle ride through the American West in pursuit of the Wild Hunt. The Candlepoint chapter incorporates the best stuff from all the chapters while still being very introductory. You'll have a year's worth of adventure in that bucolic Wisconsin town, from the annual January Polar Bear Plunge to the creepiest Yuletide you can imagine. (Hint: Hope you get socks for Christmas. Hope and pray.)" YES! Thematic chapters! Mechanics that adapt to different locations! The one thing I wish PACG would do better is make adventures and locations a unique experience. Aside from henchman and villains, you find the exact same boons and banes in every location. This got me thinking...will Lone Shark bring these adaptations to PACG? Will different locations in Mummy's Mask utilize different mechanics? Will locations FINALLY represent something other than a random collection of cards? Apocrypha launches in April/May, right in the lull between WotR and MM. To me, it looks to be the natural evolution of the most brilliant adventure card game engine available, and I sincerely hope it elevates PACG.
Is there any chance we'll see a release or playable demo of Obsidian's digital adaptation of RotR at Origins or GenCon? I was hoping for a snippet at Paizo Con, but any information would be great. I'm moving this summer and will have to stop my game mid-campaign for a couple months and I'd love to have RotR on my iPad.
I just ordered the entire S&S pack from Amazon. Is there a "make right pack" to fix errors? |
