via Fantasy Flight Games
Earth’s Scion $14.95
Who will control Mars? Every twenty-four hours and forty minutes, the Big Four insinuate more of their products, services, management, and agendas into every aspect of Martian life, and in Earth’s Scion, the third Data Pack in the Red Sand Cycle for Android: Netrunner, we watch as their presence spreads more fully across the whole of the red planet.
Can the runners who migrated across the solar system for a taste of freedom push back against this corporate expansion? And what role will the Martian Clans play? Will they trade generations of grudges and tradition for easy corporate credits? Will they feed vital information to buccaneering net jockeys? Or will they play both sides against each other?
With fewer resources to go around, all factions must experiment more and play it less safe. The biggest question is—what are you prepared to sacrifice? The sixty new cards (three copies each of twenty different cards) of Earth’s Scion reveal how far some factions are willing to go in order to see their vision for Mars come to pass.
Beneath the Sands $14.95
Beneath the Sands is the third Adventure Pack in the Haradrim cycle for The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game, and its new scenario makes it clear that there’s more than Haradrim to fear among the lands of Harad. As several of Middle-earth’s greatest heroes continue their perilous homeward journey through the hostile lands of Harad, they find evidence that a pack giant spiders have dragged people under the dunes. Compelled to investigate, these heroes must crawl into the spider’s tunnels, only to navigate a scenario that weaves through a labyrinth of cobweb-choked darkness, blocked passages, and deadly spiders. Time is of the essence, as the spiders’ victims may yet be alive, but you’ll need to be clever and attentive lest you become lost underground.
With scenario-specific rules that allow you to squander your progress when you get off-track, even if you quest successfully, Beneath the Sands places an emphasis upon the game’s questing and exploration in a way that truly allows you to feel trapped in a maze. Fortunately, the Adventure Pack also comes with a new Scout hero and twenty-seven player cards (three copies each of nine different cards) to help you get back onto the proper path – or forge your own.
The Fall of Astapor $14.95 (6/1/2017)
Bloody plots consume the Seven Kingdoms, as once-loyal bannermen turn against the kings that they had sworn to serve. A procession from Dorne marches north to King’s Landing, intent on exacting vengeance against the Lannisters. Robb Stark moves quickly to reclaim Winterfell, unaware of the dark plots being hatched in Harrenhal and The Twins. And on the continent of Essos, Daenerys Targaryen liberates the city of Astapor from the Good Masters and wins an army of Unsullied in the manner of Old Valyria—with fire and blood!
The Fall of Astapor is the third Chapter Pack in the Blood and Gold cycle for A Game of Thrones: The Card Game, continuing the saga of A Song of Ice and Fire into the third volume, A Storm of Swords. Within this pack, you’ll find more cards focusing on the new bestow keyword, powerful new economy, new ways to spend your gold, and the subtly growing influence of House Frey. You’ll even have the chance to add iconic characters and locations to your deck, including Grey Worm, The Twins, and a new version of Theon Greyjoy.

Lead by Example $29.95 (Reprint)
If it weren’t for Commanders who were willing and able to take up the mantle of leadership, those hungry to liberate the galaxy from Imperial rule might never have come together to form the Rebellion. But command, whether it entails shaping military strategy, training new recruits, or being a recognizable face of the Rebel Alliance, is not easy. Lead by Example, a sourcebook for the Star Wars®: Age of Rebellion roleplaying game, offers Commanders the talents and other tools they need to succeed.
Inside the 96 pages of this career supplement, players and Game Masters will find three new Command specializations – Figurehead, Instructor, and Strategist – as well as new playable species, gear designed to support Commanders in the field, and vehicles ready to take on Imperial fleets. The book also features detailed guidelines for situating PCs within large-scale, cinematic mass combat scenes and suggestions for crafting engaging, high-stakes, military campaigns.
Stay on Target $29.95 (Reprint)
The first book-length rules supplement for the Star Wars®: Age of Rebellion™ Roleplaying Game, Stay on Target focuses on expanding the Ace career, making it more versatile and allowing your Ace characters to hone their talents to all-new levels! You’ll find three new Ace specializations, as well as new signature abilities, playable species, starfighters, modifications, and equipment. Game Masters gain new tools to help them incorporate Aces, starfighters, mounts, and rivals into a wide range of exciting and memorable adventures. Additionally, while the new rules and materials in Stay on Target may focus on the Ace career, they also offer new options for any character looking to master a starfighter, vehicle, or alien mount.
Far Horizons $29.95 (Reprint)
Far Horizons is a sourcebook for Colonists making their mark at the fringe of the galaxy in Star Wars®: Edge of the Empire™.
