– Gale Force Nine Firefly: The announcement
Wie diese Neuigkeit zu der Firefly-Ankündigung von Toy Vault passt, wissen die Reaver. Im Herbst (SPIEL 13, Gen Con 2013?) wissen wir vermutlich mehr.
Nicht den hübschen Kopf zerbrechen, denn Privateer Press kündigen zwischenzeitlich mit LEVEL 7 [ESCAPE]: Lockdown eine Erweiterung für ihr Horror-Brettspiel.
„EXPERIENCE THE NEXT LEVEL OF FEAR
Battle rages through the halls of Subterra Bravo as unearthly creatures and human military fight over control of the underground facility. Amid the turmoil, a few desperate prisoners have managed to escape this hellish place.
You were not so lucky.
Subterra Bravo is now locked down, its exits sealed—and with them, perhaps your fate. Your only hope is to descend back into the bowels of this nightmare facility in search of another way out. But waiting within its unexplored depths are new dangers and even more deadly denizens, ready to put a grisly end to your bid to escape. Can you and your fellow survivors overcome your fears and the horrors that stand in your way, or will you fall prey to the frenzied monsters that hunt you?“
– Privateer Press LEVEL 7 [ESCAPE]: Lockdown announcement
Besonders LEVEL 7 [ESCAPE] interessiert mich, aber die Kritiken sind eher verhalten und das Iron Kingdoms RPG ebenfall von Privateer Press bezeichne ich als bunten, aber schlechten Witz. Mansions of Madness von Fantasy Flight Games überzeugt mich gleichfalls nicht.
Ich hoffe doch sehr, dass es gute Alternativen zu Space Hulk (Games Workshop) und Betrayal at House on the Hill (Avalon Hill/Wizards of the Coast/Hasbro).
