Human Head's Paper Gaming Secrets
Although some of you probably know Human Head as the videogame developers behind Rune, as well as the forthcoming Unreal-engined Dead Man's Hand and an as-yet unannounced Doom 3 engine title, but thanks to OgreCave for pointing out the company is diversifying back into board and paper-gaming with Human Head Games. This intriguing step includes "The Redhurst Academy of Magic, a new setting sourcebook designed for use in d20 System world settings and compatible with the new 3.5 edition of the Dungeons & Dragons rules", as well as a new boardgame title, which OgreCave reveal as being "Gothica: Dracula's Revenge, a two-player game set a few years after Bram Stoker's Dracula novel, where Dracula and his forces face off against Van Helsing and his allies in the streets of London." What other videogame companies would you like to see doing board/paper games?
I mean, why would I need it. I already have two. What, do I have to buy every "Dracula versus Van Helsing" game I see?
Fine... fine, I'll buy it, but this is the last time.... I swear. If a fourth "Helsing vs. Dracula" boardgame comes to my attention, I swear it will sit on the shelf unbought.... There's no way I need four "Helsing versus Dracula" board games, what am I, a crazed monomaniac board game collector.... Um... there isn't a fouth "Helsing vs. Dracula" board game, is there? Heh, heh, I just want to prove my internal resolve against buying such a thing... really...
Besides, no one I know will ever play any of these games. They always want to play, ugh... Monopoly... oh joy, Star Wars Monoply that's just what I want in a board game... see it's Monopoly but they put a Star Wars skin on it so you can pretend that it's a Star Wars game... arrrgh...
