It’s all about Sutek. Here is one special rule: Sutek characters get +1 to all die rolls, if their player wears a Sutek garment:

Once a year (at most) we come over to see the Warlord players in the USA. GenCon is just the greatest Con on earth and we are starting to feel the excitement, too.

Many of you find the Medusan Lords the pinnacle of what Warlord has to offer. I agree. Four days often are barely enough to fit all those challenges in, to accomodate everybody. In order to make it easier for you this time, I am giving you a head start.

A few years ago, he lost his soul to another Medusan Lord. Now he has become an eternal guardian:

By now you all have heard that something has changed. Queen-Mother Nyssara is the news Medusan Lord-level challenge (that’s old). Instead of it she has a special character by her side (that’s borrowed - we have seen that in Ghouls). And we have something that is both new and blue:

Battlefields already start in play and cannot be targeted. They are simply an environmental issue to deal with. I hope you’ll enjoy a “skinny-dipping” in this one (beats doing it wearing chainmail, believe me ;-)).

I guess it’s my fault. When I tagged the new Medusan Lord as being “overly strong in order to compensate for its player’s weak playing skills” I failed to make the irony apparent to all.

So our lead designer Oliver Schaaf felt challenged and responded by selecting the deck (Scyrax level 4s) the thought best currently and piloting it mercilessly to a 9-0 match and 18-1 game record in the Osnabrück Summer Campaign. With it being the best attended so far (at 34 players) this was no small feat.

Very interesting was the fact that six factions were present in the top 8 (dwarves were missing coming in with two King Alarics at 11th and 12th place), with only Nothrog boosting three Warlords (Scyrax twice and Seth’rokh, IIRC). Other Warlords were Sanga-Kish, Morghen the Unliving, Yavlo the Kindled, Queen Yahia, and Captain Alera. The environment is incredibly even, which makes preparing for GenCon a very interesting task.

A new Medusan Lord was revealed, piloted by Oliver Schaaf: Queen-Mother Nyssara, introducing a unique Vaneris Wizard, who does not start with any items attached!

In the other Summer Campaign this week-end, Yavlo piloted by John Zimmerman took away the first place medal in the also very well attended Bayonne, New Jersey Summer Campaign event (29 players). No Nothrog in the top 8 here, btw. Congratulations to both winners!

Now that almost everything is taken care of production-wise, my focus shifts towards GenCon (still so much to do, though). I love GenCon. It’s one of the best times of the year, and for me about the only time to meet my friends in the US.

Reason enough to put up a new Poll: Are you going to be at GenCon? Let me know!

As for the orders: Give me a little bit of time to sift through all of them. I’ll bring some product to GenCon for you to pick up, some will be sent immediately after GenCon. The Ordo Phoenicis Memberships should be updated by the end of next week.

Remember: You can still pre-order the Treasure Chest as long as it is still available.

It’s over guys! And despite claims to the contrary, due to some last minute orders (Thanks to Brazil, amongst others!!!) we made the goal!

That’s 100% (actually 105% or so) !

My thanks go to everybody supporting Warlord this weekend - it means a lot on a psychological level as well!

Here’s the artwork of the new Medusan Lord- go wild on speculating about her powers :D.

Not much more to say - we are at a very decent 84% and the offer is still running 80 minutes from now. I am curious as to whether there is going to be a last minute rush!

(more…)

Less than 8 hours left in the Sell-a-thon. And we have come far. To 72% actually and the Medusan Lord is almost visible. May speculation run rampant!

I believe if we want to reach the 100%, we need a few more members in the Ordo Phoenicis Ascendentis. Remember: Your chance for running a Medusan Lord? Getting extra APS with each Aeris you buy? And also 10.000 gp? Go for it - it’s not going to be this good for a long, long time!

And here’s another preview for you:
