Stone Blade Entertainment announces The Lord of the Rings: Ascension

Posted on by Leave a comment

Stone Blade Entertainment has announced The Lord of the Rings: Ascension, a new tabletop experience set in
J.R.R. Tolkien’s legendary world of Middle-earth, developed in partnership with asmodee and
Middle-earth Enterprises.

Designed for fans of both immersive storytelling and strategic gameplay, The Lord of the Rings: Ascension invites players to step into a dynamic narrative shaped by their choices. Rather than simply retelling familiar tales, the game offers a branching experience where each decision carries weight, and no two journeys unfold the same way. Each of Tolkien’s three legendary volumes comes to life as its own standalone deckbuilding experience.

Set against the rich backdrop of Middle-earth, players will navigate evolving challenges, forge alliances, and confront the consequences of their actions across a living world inspired by Tolkien’s writings. Built from the ground up to reflect the tone, tension, and depth of the source material, The Lord of the Rings: Ascension aims to deliver an experience that feels authentically rooted in the legendarium.

Ascension has defined the deckbuilding genre, winning awards, building a passionate community, and setting the standard for strategic card game design. Now, with The Lord of the Rings: Ascension, Ascension is entering the world of licensed games.

The game is currently in development and will launch via a Gamefound campaign later this year. Additional details, including gameplay reveals, components, and campaign information, will be
shared in the coming weeks and months.

Fans can follow updates and be among the first to learn more by visiting the project on Gamefound and joining the growing community ahead of launch.

OverPower first released back in the 90s to be the official TCG of Marvel, DC and Image Comics characters and it was such a success that even after it died out in early 2000s, a passionate community of fans and players kept the game alive for over twenty years.

Cut to a couple of years ago when LRG brought OverPower back with a bang after an incredible Kickstarter campaign, the release of the first set in decades and the very first season with more than $100K in tournament prizes.

Characters like Zorro, Tarzan, the Wicked Witch, Dracula, Leonidas, Cthulhu & more battled it out in epic matches by an engaged community that lives and breathes OverPower.

And the future is bright with characters from Skybound joining OverPower in the Summer featuring fan-favorite characters from Invincible, Walking Dead & more! Get ready to put the Redhead right next to Battle Beast and build the perfect combat deck.

Whether you’re a seasoned fan longing for the nostalgia of the original game or a new player eager to dive into epic battles, OverPower promises an unparalleled gaming experience.

The crowdfunding campaign is fully funded and runs until April 30 2026 11:59 PM EDT.

The Trebuchet arrives for Conquest games in April!

Posted on by

Para Bellum Wargames, the developer and publisher of the fantasy Regimental Miniature Wargame Conquest: The Last Argument of Kings and updated Skirmish system Conquest: First Blood releases a completely new model for the Hundred Kingdoms in April – The Trebuchet. Castles and men at arms form the backbone of the feudal might of the Hundred Kingdoms. Well aware of this, the Emperors of the Tellian Empire wished to ensure that the ability to breach fortifications and sweep those men from the battlefield remained unmatched amongst their vassals. The Imperial Collegia were created to develop these deadly machines of war, something they continue doing at the behest of the Imperial Throne, even when the Emperors of old are long gone. The monopoly on the advanced principles needed to successfully construct these deadly machines of war is one of the tools the Imperial Chamberlain often employs, allowing chosen allies, even if temporary ones, to wield the awesome might fo these power machines against their foes.

This “Monster” Miniature comes with 3 different sling firing positions, 8 Crew Figures, and 2 each of a decorative brazier, barrel, stone, and firepot. This allows the Hundred Kingdoms player to create quite a scene on game tables. This sits on 2 monster bases, and can be played in both The Last Argument of Kings and First Blood!

The Trebuchet is available for Pre-Order now at an SRP of USD 139.99 /EU 129.99.

This will be released on April 30th worldwide.
