Aliens in Terrinoth? WTF


The "Jef'a"? Isn't that the name of the soldier-slaves of the pseudo-gods in the Stargate TV series? [dunno if they were ever named in the movie]

I'm glad they didn't throw any of that alien crap in Tomb of Ice. Well, I haven't read through the quests ... there's no aliens in there are there?

This just went from the top of my want list to the very bottom. I don't pull Runebound off the shelf so I can fight aliens and their machines. Is it going to have Shia LaBeouf as a character in it too?

What are you talking about? There are polar bears. Polar bears = LOST. LOST = four toed giants. And four toed giants = aliens.

That's just science, people.

To the North of Terrinoth, across the Sea of White Fangs, lies cold and desolate Isheim, the Land of Ice. After millennia of sleep in this frozen realm, the Ancients are beginning to stir. These strange and powerful creatures arise to serve the wrath of their immortal master, Arshan the Mad. The Years of the White Death are at hand, a time when doom shall claim all peoples who call this land home. Unless a hero can brave this unforgiving landscape and stand against the woeful and destructive might of Arshan, all of Isheim will be destroyed.


This is the previous description I read for this expansion. Its interesting how it makes no mention of aliens or machines.

Why don't we all just pretend the aliens thingy was a typo?

Tell me I am reading this wrong:

new.fantasyflightgames.com/edge_news.asp?eidn=355

If I read the game mechanics correctly, the game appears to be all about making your way around the board, trying not to pile on too much frostbite while collecting "princess clues". Once you get 7, you've "found the princess". At that point the game changes to a "pile on the rescuer" brawl, while the rescuer tries to drag his sorry butt back to the princess' "one true love", who for some reason has been too stupid to find these clues for himself, or just too afraid of the cold to venture out and do it for himself or something like that? You don't even get the girl at the end of the game, but hand her off to some crazy alien bozo?

Am I right? Did I miss something? This sounds wrong on so many levels. Quite frankly, I wouldn't be surprised if they included a necklace for the player who "rescues" the princess to wear, so he can be easily identified by his fellow "rack hunters". :p

At a minimum, there is no way I will get my nephews to play a "rescue the princess" game, no matter how much I try to couch it in battle terms. And I hate player versus player combat (in Runebound, specifically) so I'm not going to play it. That leaves me with...nothing, no reason to buy this. For me, this level of disappointment requires profanity... ;)

So sad! I had high hopes for this game based on the winter setting and the gorgeous artwork. I hope I'm wrong about the gameplay.
