There is going to be a lot happening in 2021 with Privateer Press! Here’s everything they plan on unveiling for the new year.
2020 has been hard on all of us, but let’s look forward to the new year. Privateer has new updates for tons of their games, new minis, and a new Kickstarter. Let’s get into it!
Looking Forward to 2021 with Privateer Press
Let’s just get the bad news out of the way first, that way everything else will seem that much better… We think that’s how it works.
I want to get the bad news out of the way upfront: along with many of our favorite conventions and events that we look forward to every year, Lock & Load will again be postponed in 2021. While we’re optimistic that the New Year will return some normalcy to our lives and let us get back to the kinds of events we thrive on, there’s too much uncertainty for us to be able to plan an event on the scale of Lock & Load. Even if life, in general, is back on track by the middle of next year, the notion of hundreds of people in close indoors proximity to one another for hours on end seems like a scenario unlikely to meet with whatever standards will be in place for public gatherings by then.
Everything from here is good news, don’t worry!
WARMACHINE & HORDES
This is the 15th year of Hordes! So you know they are going to put out some great stuff for the game! Let’s hear what they have to say about what’s coming:
To commemorate this milestone, we’re planning a block of zero-version lesser Warlocks of some of our most popular existing characters that will give you some insight to their origins—before they were the powerful personalities you know today. Among those, I’m looking the most forward to is Thagrosh Hellborne, who has appeared in fiction and even artwork but never before as a model for the tabletop! Look for these models to arrive next summer.
They are also adding some new Crucible Guard! Stay tuned for more info on them in the future.
New Kickstarter
One of our first big events in 2021 will be a Kickstarter campaign to bring this new RPG series to life. But it’s not just a simple rules conversion; Iron Kingdoms: Requiem will be set in the years following the Infernal Claiming as the nations of western Immoren attempt to rebuild from the ashes of a sundered continent.
In addition to an updated core setting book, the Kickstarter campaign will also include a new Monsternomicon, featuring several monsters never before seen in the IKRPG setting as well as an all-new adventure campaign that returns the Iron Kingdoms to its roots: Legend of the Witchfire.
This is just the tip of the iceberg They have way more going on than this, so you should go check out the entire press release from them.
