There’s gold in them thar vaults…
Gale Force 9 will release a new Dungeons & Dragons board game in August titled The Vault of Dragons. While certainly full of fantasy trope and typical adventuring, the design is more like a D&D Ocean’s Eleven as you head a crime syndicate sneaking into a dragon’s vault and absconding with as much gold as you can!

The world is on the line…

The small card card from IDW releases in September and is based on the cult favorite animated series and part of the publisher’s recent partnership with Nickelodeon.
