PURGE: Sins of Science

What’s it about?

Build futuristic super weapons, nightmarish machines & harness the power to destroy stars in the 1st Real Time Strategy card game.

Why it’s interesting: Well well, here’s something you don’t see everyday. A card game attempting to mimic the real time strategy genre of video games, in a SF setting no less. Some interesting things about the game: it’s more living card game (a la Fantasy Flight Games’ card games) than a CCG like Magic; there are no hands of cards, players are able to search their decks for the cards they need, subject to the resource requirements needed to play them; the art is appealing; the game is done, Nova Forge is looking for the backing to publish the game. I applaud the attempt to try something new in card gaming, but I’m not sure how this really plays. The game play videos on the site are very dry and don’t really give me a feel for the game. Still, in an era where Kickstarter games usually cost $50+ to get a copy of the game, $35 doesn’t seem so bad.

Sea Breeze Lane Hardcover Graphic Novel

What’s it about?

It is several hundred years in the future and humanity lives on the moon, in domed Earth-like cities. David Bell is a Skyborn, one of his society’s elite and their next leader. David grew up on fairy tales, like any other child. Except, his bedtime stories about strange and distant lands may actually be much more than simple fantasy. Outside of the domes, on the Moon’s harsh atmosphere, nothing like the one we know today, reside the antagonistic Dusters; this group believes they are descended from the original lunar settlers. David has started to question the secrecy of his society and doubts the dogma preached by its past leaders. He is determined to know the truth and is willing to risk his life to find it. David’s journey to uncover meaning could lead his world to a brighter future or completely destroy it…

Why it’s interesting: A secretive, dogmatic society based on the Moon where Earth is taboo sounds like an interesting story and from what I’ve seen I also like the art direction. $5 gets you a PDF of Issue 1 while $30 gets you all 5 chapters in PDF and the hardcover itself.
