8-Bit Glory Comes to Syrinscape with New Boss Monster SoundSet

8/16/2016

 
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

RETRO 8-BIT GLORY COMES TO SYRINSCAPE WITH NEW BOSS MONSTER SOUNDSET

Play Boss Monster: The Dungeons Building Game Like Never Before with Custom 8-Bit Sounds for Character Deaths, Victories, the Voices of the Bosses and More

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA (August 16, 2016) – Syrinscape, creator of the award-winning apps that bring tabletop games alive with the power of custom, movie-like sound effects, soundscapes, and Brotherwise Games, developers of the Boss Monster: Dungeon Building Game, announce today the release of Syrinscape’s Boss Monster SoundSet.

The Boss Monster SoundSet is a high-energy soundtrack and complete audio solution to play alongside the wildly popular Boss Monster: Dungeon Building Game, featuring hundreds of custom-crafted sounds for character deaths, victories, quips and individual voices for all eight of the bosses in the game. The Boss Monster SoundSet is available on Syrinscape.com for $3.99 and is compatible with PCs, Macs, and nearly any mobile device.

"Brotherwise Games couldn't be more thrilled with the Boss Monster SoundSet by Syrinscape,” says Christopher M. O’Neal, Brotherwise Games CEO. “While Boss Monster already does a great job of capturing the imagery and feel of the retro video games that inspired it, Syrinscape adds the 8-bit jingle and jangle of those arcade hits that has been missing. Simply put, we love playing the game with it."

Inspired by a love of classic video games, Boss Monster: The Dungeon Building Card Game pits 2-4 players in a competition to build the ultimate side-scrolling dungeon. Players compete to lure and destroy hapless adventurers, racing to outbid one another to see who can build the most enticing, treasure-filled dungeon.

The award-winning Syrinscape apps bring fantastic, realistic sound to tabletop gaming. Each can be completely unlocked for free for 30 days at Syrinscape.com/freetrial and include two free SoundSets to keep after the trial.

Mythic Battles: Pantheon to Make North American Debut at Gen Con

7/25/2016

 
Gen Con Attendees will be First in North America to Play a God in New Miniatures Board Game Based on Greek Mythology

PARIS, FRANCE (July 25, 2016): Mythic Games, the new game studio from co-creators of the Conan Board Game, announces today the company’s highly anticipated first release, miniatures board game Mythic Battles: Pantheon, will make its North American debut at Gen Con August 4 – 7, 2016 in Indianapolis, IN.

Gen Con attendees will be the first gamers in North America to play as a famous god of Greek mythology, assemble warriors, lead troops into battle, create their own Pantheon and become the new ruler of Olympus in Mythic Battles: Pantheon. Learn-to-play games of Mythic Battle: Pantheon are scheduled in the Event Hall from 10am – 8pm each day and tickets are available on gencon.com for $4 each. Players will also receive an exclusive set of four collectible buttons of iconic Olympic gods.

“After more than a year in development and extensive playtests in Europe, we can’t wait to bring Mythic Battles: Pantheon to the states,” says Léonidas Vesperini, project manager of Mythic Games. “With more than 60,000 attendees who are passionate about tabletop games, Gen Con is the perfect place for Mythic Battles: Pantheon to make its North American debut.”

The mighty Titans of Greek lore awoke and unleashed a massive attack on Olympus. While the Titans were ultimately defeated, the world is ravaged and the surviving Olympians now mere mortals. As the former Gods awake to a broken world, Mythic Battles: Pantheon begins their adventure through Olympus, Styx and the Labyrinth of Minos to regain the glory left decimated by the wrath of the Titans. Playing as Zeus, Athena or any number of Greek gods alongside an army of heroes such as Achilles and Hercules and monsters such as the Hydra, Cerberus and Medusa, in victory players will be a god.

Mythic Battles: Pantheon launches on Kickstarter autumn 2016 with an anticipated release date for hobby gaming stores worldwide summer 2017. Register for exclusive promotions and updates on facebook.com/mythicbattles.

About Mythic Games

Mythic Games, based in France and Luxembourg, creates premium board games combining great mechanics, spectacular art and finely crafted miniatures from world-renowned designers and artists and with feedback from extensive public playtesting.

Pathfinder's Mischievous Goblins Return to Wreak Havoc on Free RPG Day in New We B4 Goblins Module

6/14/2016

 
REDMOND, WA (June 15, 2016): Paizo Inc., publisher of the award-winning Pathfinder Roleplaying Game, announces today Pathfinder Module: We B4 Goblins, the fourth installment in Paizo’s popular Free RPG Day adventures. Free RPG Day takes place on June 18, 2016, offering new and exclusive free RPG modules and other gaming products provided by participating publishers, through participating game stores, to encourage and develop the roleplaying game hobby.
Picture
We B4 Goblins is a Pathfinder RPG adventure for up to four goblin characters just beginning their careers of mischief and mayhem. The module is sanctioned for use in the Pathfinder Society organized play program with sanctioning rules, pre-generated goblin characters, and special chronicle sheets available on paizo.com. In addition, players who play the module in a participating retail location on Free RPG Day will receive a second boon that will grant their character a commemorative toad for use in future scenarios.

As whelps of the Licktoad tribe just out of their swaddling cages, the goblins Chuffy, Mogmurch, Poog, and Reta must prove themselves by undergoing a series of challenges, from tying a string to a large spider and shouting insults with hot rocks in their mouths, to facing off against a goblin bully and his dimwitted minions. As a final test of their mettle, they must make a dangerous and smelly trek to claim a toad from the nearby swamp and present it to the terrifying presence that lurks within the Cave of Darkfear, only after which they can truly call themselves goblins.

The adventure takes place in Brinestump Marsh and the surrounding areas of Varisia in the Pathfinder campaign setting, and serves and a prequel to We Be Goblins!, We Be Goblins Too!, and We Be Goblins Free!, Paizo's 2011, 2013, and 2015 Free RPG Day adventures.

This special 16-page Pathfinder Module was created for Free RPG Day and will be available for free in hobby game shops worldwide on June 18, 2016. The print edition will be available for sale and a free download will be available on Paizo.com beginning July 1, 2016.
