It's been 3 1/2 years, and hundreds on hundreds of games of New Avernus later, it's about time we make this game available again to the world at large, don't you think?
I've had just a few copies left of New Avernus on hand for a bit now, and I have hesitated in selling them because then there will be no more! So it's time for the Great Reprint! We will be reprinting all three of our currently released games: ZOETROPE, What We Possess, and New Avernus.
This reprint will also see them re-packaged to have organization and room for their expansions to slide on in the core game box. A few other small quality of life updates will be done to each game as well, including text legibility adjustments for ZOETROPE and What We Possess. But for New Avernus specifically, we're looking to shrink the game box's width by 5" while also still leaving room for the expansion next year!
We're doing this by replacing the game boards with rolled neoprene mats that fit in a compartment at the bottom of the box, then all the other bits and bobs go above, with room for all new tiles, faction cards, and more.
That will be coming to Kickstarter soon! Then, next year, we'll be looking to update current expansions for re-release for ZOETROPE and What We Possess, and making new expansions for all three games.
I have brought this to the table many times and introduced a a lot of people to it. Still consider it one of my favourites! Have there been any considerations for expansions or reprints?
Hey just wanted to say how much I love the game, I appreciate how easy it is to set up once you've done it once, and I love the art. I know it's unlikely but if prints of the art from the oracle deck were ever a thing that could exist I'd love to scoop them up and have them in my space (and have friends who have expressed the same).
ZOETROPE and What We Possess have shared space in their projects, being available in each, but ZOETROPE's project is uniquely featuring a large $20 expansion box for the core game that features, now that we've unlocked the final stretch goal to increase its size, over 250+ new cards. It's a wild box bringing magic, super future, and now super ancient, technologies into the game, and increasing the card count of the main game by a huge amount, nearly doubling the main game!
There are also great enamel pin sets for people who might be more interested in auxiliary things than a new game. Something for everyone! : )
(If you already pledged on the WHAT WE POSSESS project, go ahead and pledge just for the ZOETROPE expansion, I'm combining orders between those two projects.)
If we make it to the final goal of $25,000, we'll unlock an additional set of cards designed exclusively by our project's artist, Rickie Lee Benedetto. Rickie Lee breathed life into this game, and I believe that this would be a fantastic ending for the project. So please help us reach that final goal!
In this spooky ghost-story telling game, 2-7 players gather in the dark to tell a story together of the Living and the Dead. Play as a ghost haunting the space, gathering clues about a core mystery as you push the living to action, or possess them to take control entirely. The game is run on cards and game pieces, and players have complete control to suggest and run scenes in the space. Perfect for nights when your normal long running campaign games are short a player, or for a party space with friends who are ready to tell strange tales. The rules are simple, more story-telling and improv than game mechanics, making it perfect for people of any age, and people who don't normally play games.
Help pledge in the first 24 hours to give the campaign the greatest chance of success, and we can work towards the stretch goals that unlock additional small story packs of cards, including a Five Nights at Freddy's themed expansion, spooky stories in space themed expansion, and a summer camp slaughterhouse themed expansion.
And in doing so, help secure the future of Publishing Goblin Games, allowing me to make divination projects and game projects each year, and fulfill my creation dreams.
Additionally, the 2nd edition of ZOETROPE, the card-run TTRPG about playing the rent-a-cops of time travel, is available on the project! So if ghosts are sounding a bit too spooky for you this Halloween season, lock and load to patrol time instead. Or grab both for just $40!
