Hobgoblins miniatures by Ganesha Games

Last week! We have reached almost $34000 and more than 370 backers. We think that these last days will be wild for the pledges increases because this is the last chance to pick up miniatures at bargain prices. Free miniatures are increasing their weight. And what is totally available is almost definite. Now is the turn of pledges about Hobgoblins. Some stretch goals will be reached before the end. Watch here what could be available during these days.

These are some sketches made by Andrea Sfiligoi as new cover for Advanced Song of Blades and Heroes. The definitive cover will be ready in the following days. In the meantime the kickstarter is with 362 backers who pledged $28690 at 12 days to go.

Advanced Song of Blade and Heroes (ASOBH) is the version of the rules that you found in Fightin’ Fungi so it is the same as basic SOBH but it adds:
1) reactions
2) special rules to simulate weapons and shields, e.g. Block, Long Reach, Flail, etc
3) a detailed spell system with 30+ spells

Supplements will add specific subsets of rules. For example, Hammer and Forge will add Runecasting, some weapons, and a few more wall spells. Leaf and Arrow (Elves) will add different types of bows and special Arrows. And so on.

Each supplement is a larger full color book (which takes a lot of time to illustrate and pageset) so they will retail for around $10 but be around $8 in the kickstarter and in some pledge tiers it will just be bundled with figures.

Standard SOBH will continue to be printed and supported. It is not outdated: it is just a bit less detailed.

Each ASOBH book will add hundreds of profiles. Special rules are called Traits in ASOBH. The point system is the same. Advancement rules are narrative based in ASOBH. Alternatively, use SDG.

ASOBH books will be self contained. Meaning that with that book and ASOBH you can play without needing any other book. You have profiles, factions, all special rules needed for the profiles, a setting and simple advancement rules. In the case of Fightin’ Fungi, the ASOBH rules are in the Fightin’ Fungi book so you do not need to buy ASOBH.

All ASOBH books ideally come with their own range of miniatures and a map of a small area of the ASOBH world, also used as a location for Tales of Blades and Heroes rpg products.

The background is designed to let you play any figures you already have with minimum hassle. It is deliberately left vague so you can weave your own narrative in the world without “breaking” anything. Use of the game world is optional.

It is a highly magical, high fantasy world where competing gods created competing races. We will have classic races (orcs, elves, etc) but also unusual ones (fungi folk, mothmen). We will also do large monsters and steampunk/clockwork cultures, fey creatures and so on. It is a varied setting and there is an in-background reason for this “menagerie of cultures” approach.

The world will be revealed one little step at a time. When we have enough maps, we will put them together and release a large continent map. All will lead to a big war campaign when we have Armies and Hordes. But this will take years.

We have two professional fiction writers on board to write novellas set in the game world. Appendices in the novellas will “start up” any spell, monster or character used in the story. We will use kickstarter to gauge interest in these products. Novellas will be available in pdf, mobi, epub and paperback.

Is this enough?

It’s Ferragosto time!

The Summer day of the year! This year no Summer holidays due to new house refurbishment. But this day is always holiday!
And as every year the post with amenities (miniature soldiers are a serious thing indeed).

This is a new great entry in trash world. Andrea Diprè is a bloke with a loser look, and he is involved in porno stars and weird chaps interviews. He claims to be addicted to sex and drugs. He is very funny and the unequivocal proof of brain damage with the abuse of illegal substances. Together with him you can find Sara Tommasi. She was a TV actress famous only for her body. Now she is out of mind. She lives in the same city where live Andrea Sfiligoi of Ganesha Games. And here they sing their Summer song where they say: “come with me inside my privé, coke and tramps even for you”. Real culture!

The myth! Richard Benson is back with a record and a great hit. Like a paraplegic king on his throne, he moves his club and gnash his teeth. This song is about his fear for dwarves. We sing it during Ganesha Games work for the upcoming kickstarter about dwarves miniatures and rules.

And now Andrea Diprè interview Richard Benson in English. So you can understand their greatness. Have real fun during this Summer ; )
