Well I hope all goes well in Vegas, I'll definitely be stopping by the booth at PAX to say hi to peops. =)

To the other Mage Wars fans who are going, we should try and meet up at some point and chat it up!

These are going to be the next Spellbook pack which will be sold as a 2 pack, just like the first Spellbook Pack. Tentatively we are looking to have them available in late April. I am thrilled with the quality of the art on these.

Could this be the first sighting of Necromancer v Druid?  The art fits the mages, that's for sure.


hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

It's also worth noting that the Spellbooks came in perfect condition this time. I was one of the people who had bubbles all over the place on my books in the core set, the hair dryer trick made them look much better but def not perfect. However I couldn't spot a single flaw on the expansions books, def satisfied!

[spoiler]Thank you DarthDadaD20.  

Mage Wars is truly a labor of love.  We made the game to satisfy our own need/desire to play a realistic Mage combat game. I have 3 older sons and we worked on it together.  After we had about 20 college age guys hooked and playing regularly, we knew we had something we should bring to market.

Understood Sausageman! Trust me, all the playtesters, like Heatstryke above, are always pushing to remove excess mechanics, and keep the game streamlined.

We've been working on Mage Wars for over 5 years, and we have a lot of great stuff planned.  We will be careful to not overwhelm too much at once, keeping new mechanics to a minimum.  Here are a few tidbits of things to come:

We will have SWARM creatures (like swarms of bees, ants, and plague rats), which are interesting because when you attack them it only kills one creature in the swarm.  SO they are very tough, except vs. zone attacks which are devastating.

The Illusionist uses face-down markers to track his creatures.  Are they real or Illusionary? Her stronger illusions can fight and behave like a real creature.  Should you waste a turn disbelieving the illusion? Her weaker Illusions just disappear the instant they take damage, but still provide a great decoy.

Some of the Necromancer's creatures feed off the dead, hatching new creatures inside the corpse, or turning them into Undead as well.

The upcoming Paladin has a suit of armor. The individual pieces are great, but it gains extra powers once he has the full suit in place.  And yes, it is extra hard to destroy once its in place. He is an amazing front line fighter.

An Archmage may make it in time for Christmas this year - we'll see. He is powerful enough to take on 3 other Mages at one time.

A dungeon adventure mode where 3-4 Mages work together against the game, with multiple scenarios.

Thanks again for the wonderful support![/spoiler]


Holy crap, Info dump overload...

Many thanks for the insight, this is the kind of stuff to get excited over! =)

General Discussion / Re: Some More Love on the Main Site

I'd love for there to be more of a reason to come to this site, I try to frequent all three (this, FB and BGG) but ultimately would prefer to come here to do most of my MW discussing. At the moment there's not a lot of reason for me to check in.

Although that doesn't stop me from checking in. =P I'd just like for there to be more of a reason. It also makes the community feel dead when it very much isn't.

The hair dryer trick worked wonders for me, books look perfectly fine now!
