I hope you enjoyed your International Tabletop Day. For me, the day always falls on a busy non-gaming time for me and this year was no different. Thanks to a few of my regular gaming buddies, though, I was able to get a few late games in before the end of the day. Whew!

Duelyst
Eric Lang’s digital game Duelyst is now out of beta. According to Dice Tower News, “Duelyst is a fast-paced collectible card game with a tactical battlefield. Matches last between five and ten minutes, focusing on thoughtful decision-making.”

May the 4th Be With You

Runebound Expansions
Two new expansions for Runebound are due in the third quarter of the year, according to Fantasy Flight Games. Caught in a Web is a Scenario Pack that will contain “an entirely new scenario with new adventure cards for combat, exploration, and social encounters and a new deck of story cards.” The Gilded Blade is an Adventure Pack that will have “new asset and skill cards, giving you entirely new ways to customize your heroes, while new adventure cards can be used to change the flavor of any scenario.”
