Rob Daviau made a name for himself in the board gaming world with Risk Legacy. Since then, he's had a hand in the wildly successful Pandemic Legacy and a handful of other legacy games. These 'legacy' games feature on-going campaigns where players make permanent changes to the game as they play them, telling an emergent story.
Wizards of the Coast have just announced that Daviau has been working on Betrayal: Legacy, which adds the legacy gameplay mechanics to Betrayal At The House On The Hill
Today, Marvel Comics released Legacy #1, the banner book for its latest roster shakeup that lays the groundwork for what's to come for the Marvel comics universe, on Earth, in the stars, and beyond. Here are all the teasers we saw in the book, and what they might mean for Marvel's mightiest heroes.
Welcome back to the world of comic book news, where death is not the end, but more like a stay at the world's most popular motel. This time, a famous fallen hero from the pages of Marvel's comics is going to be making their grand return in this week's roster-shuffling prelude special Legacy, and please, try to be a little bit shocked.
For Legacy, Marvel is bringing back its iconic team-up series, Marvel Two-In-One -- which was basically an entire series dedicated to teaming the Thing up with myriad Marvel heroes. But its first storyline will be dealing with ramifications felt by the absence of heroes missing since the end of Secret Wars: The Fantastic Four.
When Marvel's Legacy event kicks off later this year, it won't just be a way for the publisher to bring beloved, long-dead characters back from the grave, it will also be one of the first times we get a look at the Avengers' truest, deepest origins that go back a million years.
Gamers are a funny bunch. Board gamers, doubly so. We treasure our board games. We put plastic sleeves on our cards to keep our games immaculate and pristine. We do not tolerate spilled drinks.
So writing on the board (in permanent marker!), placing stickers, and ripping up cards is both incredibly disturbing, and therapeutically cathartic. Welcome to Seafall.
Exploration has always been at the heart of the Pokémon series. A young person strikes out on a monster collecting adventure, learning about the world around them along the way. My brief time with the Pokémon Go felt like that, albeit on a slightly smaller scale.
Video: I was never a big Fruit Ninja fan, but I love what the game has done to promote real-life fruit ninjaneering. Filmmaker Scott Winn's follow-up to his 2012 viral hit adds an additional ninja and a flaming sword.
