Gale Force 9 Announces ‘Firefly’ Board Game Expansion
Monday, June 23rd, 2014
Gale Force 9 has announced the September release of the Blue Sun, a major expansion for its popular Firefly Board Game, according to hobby news website ICv2.com. TheBlue Sun expansion allows players to explore the dangerous realm of “rim space.” The Blue Sun Expansion is geared for experienced players of the Firefly board game that is based on Joss Whedon’s ill-fated outer space “western,” which won the hearts of fans, but not those of network execs, during its short run on the Fox Network.
Players utilizing the Blue Sun Expansion will be able to incorporate the Breakin’ Atmo game booster as well as the Pirates & Bounty Hunters Expansion. The Blue Sun Expansion is recommended for experienced players of the Firefly game — players who wish to explore new realms and confront the deadly Reivers in the Burnham system.
The Blue Sun Expansion, which comes in an attractive 10” x 10” x 2″ game box, and will include a new 10″ x 20″ board expanding the realms for space for exploration (including Rim Space, the Blue Sun System, and the Burnham System), plus two new ships, two new leaders for players to play as, two new Job contacts and a new supply planet, Meridian, capital of the Blue Sun system.
Some preview copies of the Blue Sun Expansion may be available at GenCon Indy.

Privateer Press Announces ‘Iron Kingdoms Unleashed’ RPG
Wednesday, June 18th, 2014
According to hobby news website ICv2.com, in early 2015 Privateer Press plans to ratchet-up the level of violence in its fantasy RPGs with the launch Iron Kingdoms Unleashed, a self-contained, hyper-aggressive role-playing game that is set in the wilds of western Immoren (Immoren is the continent that is the setting for Privateer’s Iron Kingdoms RPG as well as its Warmachine and HORDES miniature games). Iron Kingdoms Unleashed will be both a complete game unto itself and fully compatible with the Iron Kingdoms Full Metal Fantasy Roleplaying Game, though Unleashed will have sharper, more feral edge to it.
Iron Kingdoms Unleashed will offer players a wide range choices for their fantasy surrogates ranging from Trolls, to Farrow, Gatormen, Bog Trogs, Pygmy Trolls, Nyss, humans, Warlocks, Tharn Ravengers, and more. Careers open to players include (among others) Mistspeaker, Bokar, Bonegrinders, and Monsterhunter. In addition to a large number of playable characters, Iron Kingdoms Unleashed will also include a wide range of monsters for players to do battle with in this extremely aggressive fantasy RPG in which bloody encounters look like they will be extremely frequent. Over 100 pages of the Iron Kingdoms Unleashed Core Rulebook, which is due out in early 2015 and contains all the elements necessary to play, will be devoted to detailing the powers, habits, and occasional weaknesses of the game’s many monsters.
The recently announced Iron Kingdoms Full Metal Fantasy: Monsternomicon supplement for the Iron Kingdoms Full Metal Fantasy RPG, which is due out in September, and which contains vital information on 40 different monsters, will be fully compatible with the new Iron Kingdoms Unleashed RPG.

Stronghold Games Announces New Edition of Popular Board Game ‘Medina’
Wednesday, June 18th, 2014
Stronghold Games announced last week that it will release a new edition of the critically-acclaimed board game Medina in November, according to hobby news website ICv2.com.
The game was designed by Stefan Dorra (Amazonas, The Bucket King, Buccaneer) in 2001, nominated for several European awards, and was originally published in the US by Rio Grande Games. The strategy and city-building game takes place in 1822, in the city of Medina. Players build large palaces and renovate the city wall, as they improve and expand the city. Players get points for finishing buildings, building the largest buildings of a certain color, and connecting buildings to the city walls.
The new edition features a double sided board, as well as nearly 200 wooden pieces, tiles, four player screens, a score block, and a rulebook with updated game play. The game is for 3 -4 players ages 10 and up, and plays in 60-90 minutes.
Stronghold is releasing a slew of new games in the second half of 2014, including Diamonds, Among the Stars and others – all available at your local Battleground Games & Hobbies!
