Something IS coming...

By DandGeezer, in Runebound

From the description page for the Realms of terrinoth Event:

"Get an exclusive sneak peek at the next Runebound expansion"...

Has the post been edited? From what I see, the event info page only mentions a product 'set in' this universe, not necessarily an addition to Runebound. But I'd be thrilled to find out that you're right.

...And now I don't see it, either. Yes, it looks like it must have been edited out.

I do notice that the linked schedule lists two sneak peek events. So probably that means we'll see a couple new games.

Well, hopefully the original text was correct. A new Runebound game would mean

  • Runebound is officially non-dead
  • If it's a single game rather than a new wave of decks (or some new kind of expansion), that'll likely mean new characters. And that means there could also be a new upcoming Descent game, since they like to share heroes.
  • Oh, and a new Runebound game!

Here's my hope that the RB expansion will be a dungeon crawl, even though that's what Descent is for.

Dungeon Crawling would be great!

What do you guys think this means?

"Get an exclusive first look at an upcoming product set in the Runebound universe!"
This is the first bullet point at www.fantasyflightgames.com/edge_minisite_sec.asp

Runwars is currently out and not 'upcoming'. Could they be talking about something else? I really do hope they're refering to something new for Runebound... I mean I hope it's for both Runebound and Desecent... I mean I hope it's something new for all three! gran_risa.gif

I was thinking that myself. We have Water, Ice, Deserts it would be nice for a Catacomb map with all dungeon exploring for Runebound!

I'd like to see a new Runebound expansion as much as anyone else, but honestly this quote sounds like it's referring to a whole new product. Not an expansion to any of the Terrinoth games thus far, but something else entirely. What that might be remains to be seen...

I wonder if FFG knows how much stress this might be causing some of us :P
I think I like it better when new games and new add-ons just appear on their site. Instant joy and something to thoroughly explore... this waiting is driving me crazy.

There is a high chance that a Runebound expansion is in the works. Ed Browne a playtester for Battles of Westeros, and likely a playtester for this RB expansions from the sound of it, "confirmed" that there will be an announcement for a new RB expansion at the Realms of Terrinoth event, here .

Nice find! Thanks for the link. And the renewed anticipation.

OK, here's my new rumor: a full Runebound RPG is what may be in the works. Which wouldn't interest me at all, but it would take the Terrinoth setting in a new direction product-wise...

From description web-page for event. www.fantasyflightgames.com/edge_minisite_sec.asp

Currently it reads...

"Get an exclusive first look at an upcoming product set in the Runebound universe!"

They edited this page because originally it revaled the Runebound expansion with this text...

"Get an exclusive sneak peek at the next Runebound expansion"

The .pdf schedule of the event has two sneak peaks. www.fantasyflightgames.com/ffg_content/event-center/realms-of-terrinoth/realms-of-terrinoth-event-schedule.pdf

"5:00 PM Saturday (2 hrs)
Sneak Peek #1: An exclusive first look at a new FFG game. We can’t say any
more than this at this time, but we assure you it will be worth it."

"10:00 AM Sunday (2 hrs)
Sneak Peek #2: An exclusive first look at a new FGG game. We can’t say any
more than this at this time, but we assure you it will be worth it."

One will be for Runebound's new expansion, the other will likely be for an entirely new Terrinoth product. The original text for this event stated there would be a NEW game set in Terrinoth revaled. Obviously Runebound is not a new game.

I would actually be really interested in a Runebound RPG. I think that I could come up with all kind of ways to combine it with the boardgame (if nothing else I could make use of the boards for campaign maps. I like the sound of that quite a lot...
