Adamant Releases "Pact of the Angelic Choirs"

2008-12-22T01:58:04Z

Adamant Entertainment has released a new title, "Pact of the Angelic Choirs":

Pact of the Angelic Choirs is part of a series of new warlock pacts for 4E, from Adamant Entertainment.

Warlocks treat not only with the maddening fey or strange, outré powers from the void, but with astral creatures of light and strength. Known to mortals as angels, most assume these creatures are messengers and servants of benevolent deities. Some warlocks have discovered the ancient thaumaturgies and rituals used to invoke the creatures that roam the Astral Sea. These warlocks can channel life-giving power, or blast their enemies with searing light and the awesome might of the heavens.

This pact features a full listing of powers from Levels 1 through 30, two new Feats exclusive to the pact, a paragon path, and three new magic items.

Zombiegeddon Coming from Twilight Creations

2008-12-22T01:46:31Z

According to Twilight Creations' web site, Reiner Knizia's Zombiegeddon is coming in February 2009:

Reiner Knizia's Zombiegeddon
Well, it was nice while it lasted! You have gotten word that the end is near, and Armageddon is right around the corner. (Actually, it begins tonight!) Since it may be a while before you can get to the store, today would be a good time to gather as many supplies as possible. After all, tommorow might be the beginning of a long, cold, (nuclear) winter!

Reiner Knizia's Zombiegeddon is a fast-paced, perfect-information, strategy game. Each player spends the first half of the game rushing around the board collecting supplies and trying to stop your pesky neighbors from taking stuff that is rightfully yours. (At least as far as you are concerned!)

The second half of the game is spent trying to survive. Sure their is some good stuff around, but it certainly isn't plentiful and let's face it, everyone is still trying to take it before you do! (Whoever has the most stuff at the end of the game wins!)

Zombiegeddon is a game for two to four players, ages 12 and up.
Coming February 2009!
