Replayability is an important consideration for us. We want Conan: Rise of Monsters to be a game you can enjoy again and again.
Don't worry, Conan - there's more!
If you're a dedicated fan of Fading Suns, you may be eagerly awaiting news about what Ulisses will be doing with its new line. But if you're not as familiar with the game (or if you know people who aren't), we have got a great deal for you to check out!
Fading Suns is on the newest Bundle of Holding!
This week, two more cosms are previewed, one that’s mostly the same as in Original Torg, and one that’s quite a bit different: the Nile Empire and Tharkold.
This week's Starless Sky preview offers a look at how the Starfall tests the faith of even the most devout. In this story we see a Blessed One of Praios struggling to make sense of what has happened.
This week we get a bit more in depth with the new mechanics, specifically those dealing with spells, miracles, and psionics. For the sake of this preview, we’ll collectively call them “powers.” They’re described in separate chapters in Torg Eternity, but they have similar characteristics.

In today's preview from Starless Sky, Eevie Demirtel offers a vivid description of the Starfall from the perspective of a scholar's young assistant. Here's part of her story, "The Sphere of Heaven":
This week, we head to Europe where the British Isles and Scandinavia suffer under the sway of the magical realm of Aysle, and the Inquisition has returned to France and Spain, this time with nanosecond response time!
Just a note that we’re covering the World Laws very broadly. We go into more detail in the book, and a lot of the flavor comes out through the use of Cosm Cards, which we’ll be previewing soon.
