Privateer Press shows off the Heroes of Widower’s Wood the Adventure Board Game – coming soon to Kickstarter!

With less than 2 weeks to go until Privateer Press launches it’s Kickstarter for Widower’s Wood, they have decided to lift the curtain just a tad to show-off some of the characters involved in this new adventure board game set in the Iron Kingdoms:

This group of unlikely allies is led by Olo, a croak who has, through unfortunate circumstances, been forced to confront an evil plot that threatens his home, his tribe, and his family (his young polliwogs are very sensitive to environmental change!). Along the way he is joined by other denizens of Widower’s Wood. These fearsome individuals would normally avoid or even war with one another, but the growing threat is great enough that even the ferocious Tharn hunter, Skarg the Voracious, and Agata, a farrow of savage close-combat prowess, are willing to set aside their differences to defend their home. The group is finally joined by a shadowy blackclad druid, Vaskis the Knotkeeper. Vaskis’ motivations are more complex than any of the others, but ultimately, he seeks to redress the growing imbalance of power lest it threaten the agendas of his masters in the Circle Orboros.

In just two weeks, you’ll be able to aid our monstrous heroes in their quest when Widower’s Wood comes to Kickstarter. Stay tuned to Privateer Insiders,Facebook, and Twitter posts, and widowerswood.com, as we get ready to launch our first board game on Kickstarter this February 16th, 2016!

As we mentioned last time – this game will be fully compatible with The Undercity! That’s going to be awesome for players of both boxed games. I’d really like to take a crack at The Undercity with a slightly different party make-up or go on a new adventures with these new heroes too!
