Announcing ASHFALL, a deck building sci-fi RPG
almost 2 years ago – Thu, Jul 07, 2022 at 08:38:31 PM

Hi everyone,


We are excited to announce ASHFALL, our next game, set in the same universe as Turris.

Ashfall is a 1-4 player deck building sci-fi RPG – take control of a powerful unique character, recruit unique allies and fill your deck with powerful actions – level up and customize your character from a wide range of unique abilities and perks. Explore diverse terrains from deserts to mysterious alien facilities and make use of Pelagium – a dangerous new resource. Play through the epic cooperative campaign, a deep character and narrative driven campaign and then play skirmish scenarios (both competitive and cooperative).

The Core Lands Protectorate (CLP), an expansionist state based on the southern two continents in the world, has for the past 40 years slowly absorbed all neighboring nations. With its vast military and centralized leadership, the CLP has faced little organized opposition. Major Mak Yarrym and his group of special operations solders is sent to deal with the latest uprising in Artusa, a recently conquered nation. There, he discovers disturbing evidence that threatens to destabilize the uneasy peace between it and the YU…

The Yarangan Union (YU) is a scientifically advanced nation based in the northern archipelagos, with unmatched naval power, with fleets of advanced self-sufficient ships known as Umiaqs powered by Pelagium (a rare and powerful resource). In the past several decades the YU’s Pelagium research has rapidly advanced under the supervision of Toerwahn Tijksyn. With his recent disappearance, research has stalled. His daughter, Mira Tijksyn, is sent on an expedition escorted by members of the secretive YU Security bureau. There, she begins to understand the source of her father’s discoveries.


As players, see both sides of the developing conflict between these nations and together uncover a vast conspiracy that threatens to bring the world into a devastating war that could destroy both nations, or worse.


To join us on playtests, AMAs and livestreams of Ashfall on Table Top Simulator (TTS) as we continue to add and balance missions, please join us on our discord server:

We're really looking forward to engaging with everyone!

Hey all,

Quick update:

TURRIS

1) Thanks for being patient on the shipping. We know it took longer than expected; international shipping has been a nightmare for a while now. 

2) Europe/Rest of the world should be all shipped; if this is not the case please get in touch with us!

3) USA shipping is ongoing, in waves. Many people will have received their games by now and there are some still being shipped; we had a few component shortages which is being rapidly rectified by air shipping them over from our manufacturers in China, and we hope to close things out ASAP.

4) Please understand we receive a LOT of PMs, so please be patient and we will get back to you all!

5) We are aware of some printing errors/errata, please check out this thread on BGG for the latest: https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/2831816/errata-enhancements-questions-needing-official-rul

We are working on an errata PDF that will hopefully help with this. Please let us know of any issues either via PMs or on that thread.


Sneak peak:

We'd like to take the opportunity to tell you guys a tiny bit about our next project, which we've been working on for a while now - set in the world of Turris, a long time ago during when technology was still prevalent. The game is a tactical deck building game (inspired by games like Mage Knight) with a character and narrative driven campaign (inspired in part by the style of stories in games like Starcraft/Warcraft). 

We've learnt a lot from our successes and failures in designing and shipping Turris, and one of the things we will absolutely do is put our game on Tabletop Simulator (TTS) and create a Discord server to organize previews and in depth play-tests, rule book editing, etc.

However, first things first. Before we make a more detailed announcement and give you guys that invite link, we want to completely finish shipping Turris first.


We really appreciate your support and backing throughout this entire process.


Best,

AP Board Games
