Just FYI - the Conan Scenario editor site fell foul of the warehouse fire in which the OVH service provider lost a significant amount of data. 😔 An offsite back up was made in September and the site creator is doing his best to get the site working again - more news as it comes in. C

Loki (god) Strategic mastery, dubious morals, seduction, and malice are just a few characteristics the gods associate with Loki. He was often the bringer of great chaos and misery, but he also used his ruses to save the gods from peril. Loki enjoyed playing with the art of shapeshifting, regularly assuming countless forms such as giants, humans, insects, seals, or birds. He once fell pregnant after becoming a mare, and gave birth to Sleipnir, the eight-legged horse that serves as Odin’s steed. His union with Angrboda the giant also produced three scourges – Hel, Fenrir, and Jörmungand – who spread terror among the Aesir and will be formidable opponents during Ragnarök. However, the most tragic of Loki’s tricks saw Baldr killed by Hoder, the blind god. In exchange for the liberation of the most valiant Aesir, Hel demanded that each and every being across the Nine Worlds weep for Baldr’s death. Because he was so likeable and wise, everyone lamented his passing… with one exception: a giant by the name of Thokk, who was none other than Loki in a deformed and monstrous disguise. The gods pursued him mercilessly and located him thanks to Hlidskjalf, Odin’s throne, after which they chained him to the bowels of the earth. Filled with hatred, Skadi the giant also hung a snake drooling a horrible venom above the disgraced god. Sigyn, Loki’s wife, came to hold a bucket over his head, but every time she emptied it a drop would fall onto the god and slowly burn him. Loki suffered terribly, and the floor would tremble as far as Midgard every time he writhed in agony. In Mythic Battles: Ragnarök, Loki has finally freed himself from his chains. Twisted with torment and bitterness, he is preparing to wreak havoc upon his torturers. But his cunning makes up for these weaknesses. His Malice power enables him to deflect a range 0 attack onto any other unit in his area – even when it is an enemy unit! His duplicity is also displayed in his Metamorphosis power. Once in every game, when an attack is made against him and before it is resolved, he can change places with an allied unit in his surroundings. You may tease or mock Loki, but when the Ultimate Battle arrives, remember that he who laughs last laughs longest… Artwork by Pascal Quidault . Sculpt by Arnaud Boudoiron .

Freyja (goddess) As it is written in the Gylfaginning, the old god Njörd lay with one of his sisters, and Freyr and Freyja were born of this union between the two Vanir. While the twins soon came to represent fertility, Freyja became more powerful than her brother thanks to her knowledge of Seidr, magic conjured in a trance state. She taught Odin this art and remained the only deity to master this ancient magic of ecstasy. But Freyja was no mere witch. The day she discovered Brisingamen, a necklace forged by four Dwarves, she took it in exchange for a day and a night during which each of the four Dvergar had the pleasure of her charms. With Brisingamen around her neck, she became the most coveted of all the gods and goddesses, inspiring the desire of both the giants and the Aesir. But Brisingamen possessed far more than the powers of beauty, combining with Freyja’s warrior talents to also make her a goddess of war. Both voluptuous and determined, Freyja also presides over the passionate fury of combat, and not all those who are lucky enough to die in battle end their journey in Valhalla. The Valkyries drag half of these lucky few to Freyja, to feast and celebrate in her Folkvang hall. In Mythic Battles: Ragnarök, Freyja is a goddess of war, capable of the most incredible feats. Protected by Brisingamen, the necklace of Brisingar, she and any allies in her area sustain one less wound when they are the target of range 0 attacks. Her other power comes from Valshamr, her heavy coat of feathers. Once in every game, she can use it to vanish and reappear instantly in any open ground area of the board. During the Ultimate Battle, only time will tell if she will use this power to escape an opponent, sink a spear into the side of a dying god, or steal a rune with the ability to sway the course of victory from an enemy. She sows seduction, passion, and death. Which of her charms will appeal to you the most? Artwork by David Demaret. Sculpt by Arnaud Boudoiron . Painting by Martin Grandbarbe .

MYTHIC BATTLES: RAGNARÖK - Fafnir (monster) Fafnir was a Dverg who lived with his father Hreidmar and his two brothers, Otr and Regin, in the deep, dark forests of Nidavellir, where Odin, Hoenir, and Loki would come to hunt. One day, as night was falling, the gods were looking for a place to stay and killed an otter to bring as a gift to Hreidmar’s home. Alas! When they arrived, Hreidmar was horrified to see that the Aesir had in fact slain and skinned Otr. His son had transformed into an otter using the shapeshifting powers bestowed upon the Dvergars and gone out to explore the forests and rivers. Held hostage by the Dwarves, Odin and Hoenir sent Loki to find the blood money owed to the enraged father. Loki decided to rob Andvari, a Dverg famed for his immense wealth created by a magic ring that produced all the gold the wearer desired. When he saw the Aesir seize his ring, Andvari warned that madness and greed would befall anyone who wore it. Yet Loki still came back to present the ring to Hreidmar. The Dverg was delighted with his newfound riches, although the Aesir failed to mention the curse that had been placed upon the ring. Evil and madness soon took root in Hreidmar’s heart. Refusing to share the smallest amount of his wealth with Fafnir and Regin, he soon inspired the hatred of his two sons until Fafnir murdered him and banished his brother forever. Fafnir the Patricide jealously guarded his treasure, and used his Dwarfish ability to slowly transform. Spurred on by the power of the cursed ring and his assassin’s greed, he acquired the scales, feet, shell, and huge fangs of a dragon, shapeshifting into a lindworm to protect his precious riches. But Regin had not forgotten. Filled with a murderous fury against his brother, he finally found a way to take revenge by becoming a mentor to Sigurd, the descendent of a long line of legendary heroes… In Mythic Battles: Ragnarök, Fafnir can finally try to take back the treasures stolen by Sigurd. The “Claws and Fangs” power enables him to carry out a devastating area attack, while the “Scorn” power means he can ignore incoming area attacks and those with a range of 1 or more. Accustomed to staying curled up on his mountain of treasure, Fafnir cannot be forced to move. Any intrepid soul hoping to kill him must have the courage to approach him despite his “Terror” talent that weakens his opponents. With that, a merciless battle will ensue… Text by Nicolas Texier / Artwork by Pascal Quidault / Sculpted by Arnaud Boudoiron / Painted by Martin Grandbarbe MYTHIC BATTLES: RAGNARÖK, march 23 on Kickstarter...

MYTHIC BATTLES: RAGNARÖK - Hrym (monster) While the gods and mankind wasted their time pursuing vain, childish occupations, the giant Hrym prepared for the end of the world in the shadows, building a ship to transport his armies to fight in Ragnarök. He patiently assembled, one by one, the fingernails and toenails of the deceased to build Naglfar, the Ship of the Dead. When the time came, he sounded the horn to call the Jötnar to arms. They all boarded the vessel and the hordes of giants and the undead covered the warship’s gigantic decks. Hrym rejoiced at the sight and snapped the boat’s moorings. Leaving the banks of Jötunheim forever, Naglfar sailed its legions to the Vigrid Plain. When the Ultimate Battle comes, the Jötnar’s banners will clash together in a mighty roar promising death to all their enemies. In Mythic Battles: Ragnarök, Hrym is one of the rare monsters to display tactical skill by turning the terrain to his advantage. As well as giving his side an Art of War card, he has the “Ice Lord” ability, which enables him to draw on his essence as an ice giant and permanently transform the ground around him into polar terrain, ensuring the biting cold slows and wounds those who come near. But cunning is not his only asset. In ancient times, Hrym stood guard in Jötunheim and has retained the full strength and rage of his blood. This means he can carry out a Sweep, an area attack targeting his area and an adjacent area. Woe betide those who encounter the cruel power of the cold and his minions!

Mega thanks - 😊 🙏-

Seer (Troop) Since the dawn of the Nine Worlds, all the clans of Midgard have seen the birth, especially among their women, of these auspicious experts in the magic of Seiðr. All peoples honor them with the title of Völva. The words of the Völur are strange, their looks are far away, they see the hidden things, in Midgard and elsewhere. Equipped with their wands fortified with secrets and spells, they know how to cast the runes and predict the fatal or happy fate that awaits all who ask. The gods themselves respect and fear their talents. Such is the case for the noble Odin, as we learn from the Völupsa or Song of the prophetess. Many times, he descended to Midgard to consult the most gifted Volür. And his power increased when he received from their mouths the wisdom of the past, the vision of the present, but also the sad prophecy of the end when the horns of the Ragnarök will sound for the ultimate battle where the gods will perish. So, it is Whispers of fate: they who lift the veil of the future do so at their own risk! In Mythic Battles Ragnarök, these magicians support armies, outstripping enemies with their movement skills. They also know how to offer their gods their visions of battle, in the last burst at the moment of death: Each time their troop is destroyed, their divinity can, if they wish, draw the first card of their deck and add it to their hand. Thus, sage is the one who heeds these ancient and powerful women!

JOMSVIKINGS (troop) It is said in the Saga dedicated to them, that within the shelter of the walls of Jomsborg, a fraternity was slowly formed, one by one, gathering the bravest of warriors. Founded on courage, righteousness and skill in arms, the Jomsvikings order thus brought together the most elite of veterans. Righteous men, experienced in pillaging and battles, ready to dedicate their blades to the gods, and to sacrifice their lives for their brothers in arms. The order’s code dictated that they only admit the most valiant, never to give in to fear, to always avenge their comrades, to live in a fortress away from women, to divide the spoils of war. For a long time, this elite troop reigned terror on the battlefields. Kings and lords poured gold on them to number them in their ranks, and dismay gripped the enemy as the Jomsvikings advanced in battle formation in the light of dawn. And when they slaughtered their opponents, it was in honor of Odin and Thor, in a grand ceremony of blood, death and courage! Alas! during Ragnarök, their fortress fell while the Jomsvikings were fighting far away. So when the hour of the Last Battle comes, they will come forward, drunk with vengeance in remembrance of their own who fell in Jomsborg. And they will sell their skin dearly, until the last breath of life. Because that is what the Jomsvikings Saga teaches: how dreadful are they, even as they die. In Mythic Battles: Ragnarök, the bravery and beautiful discipline of the Jomsvikings give this troop the Blocker and Guardian talents. Their sense of sacrifice is integrated into the game, when the troop is destroyed: it then carries out one last free attack against the attacker who forced them into death. Woe to him who dares to carry iron against the sacred order of the Jomsvikings! Mythic Battles: Ragnarök - 03/23/21 on Kickstarter. MBRJOM2. jpg

Hail Thor -

The entire Monolith team wishes you a happy New Year, 2021, may it be more peaceful than the previous one, and full of games with your loved ones. Let's take a quick look at what to expect this year! (Spoiler: we have kept back some surprises) MYTHIC BATTLES: RAGNARÖK We've never been so close! We are aiming for a launch in the second half of this quarter and will be able to publish the exact date in the next two weeks. We are still waiting for some information from our partner factories before we publish the survey from which we will gauge demand for what Mythic Battles: Pantheon products we would include in the upcoming Mythic Battles: Ragnarök campaign. This survey will allow backers to indicate their choice of Mythic Battles: Pantheon products from the entire MB-P product range and not just those products that have already been reprinted. If there is sufficient demand, those products will be added to the range of available products in the Mythic Battles: Ragnarök Kickstarter campaign or Pledge manager. The only MB-P product we will offer during the Mythic Battles Ragnarök Kickstarter campaign will be the Mythic Battles Pantheon 1.5 core box (and its Stretch Goals). All other Mythic Battles Pantheon products we elect to add (including the MB-P1.5 core box) will be available in the Mythic Battles Ragnarök pledge manager. It’s our attempt not to overwhelm or complicate choices for new players of the game. The next few weeks will see a series of news on MBR, revealing to you before the launch all the contents of the basic box: During the next few weeks news and updates will reveal Mythic Battles: Ragnarök core box contents: miniatures, game boards, new features, gameplay… We will take an in-depth tour of the box before launching these side by side (or face to face) mythical clashes! BATMAN: GOTHAM CITY CHRONICLES We continue to make good progress on Batman Gotham City Chronicles and its various game modes. However, things are progressing more slowly than expected, due to a change in the approval policy of Warner Bros. You are probably aware that some publishers have recently had to change some of their content before delivery. Also, in order to deal with this unfortunate eventuality, we are taking the initiative and are making sure that everything we want to offer you has been previously approved and does not risk being called into question later. Paul Grogan and his team are still working on the rewording of the rulebook, which will be available in pdf before the Kickstarter campaign. The Solo / Cooperative mode looks very good and will prove to be one of the major assets of the campaign. In addition, we should offer the possibility of evolving within a DC Universe that we have not yet explored. For now, note that Season 2 content has just been added to our Online Misson Maker (https://www.batman-scenarios.com/)! Allowing you to add even more gameplay for your Season 2 content. Content which WILL be available again during the next Batman Season 3 Kickstarter. CONAN: THE CONQUEROR The production of Conan is progressing well, and we are really happy with the plastic production miniatures we received! Our writers, after a brief rest, are once again working hard to bring you the promised online scenarios for Khitai, Nordheim and Stygia, as well as the Black Ones and the Demon of the Earth. These scenarios will be made available before your Conan the Conqueror pledge is delivered. We should be able to show you the rest of the new features soon! CLAUSTROPHOBIA 1643 2021 will mark the launch of the first Claustrophobia 1643 novel, Les Limbes Sanglantes (Bloody limbos) in French at Bragelonne! We hope that this unholy journey born under the pen of Nicolas Texier will be subsequently translated into English. Mid-year, we'll be giving those of you who missed this award-winning game (https://www.boardgamequest.com/2019-board-game-award.../) a new opportunity to grab a copy! With the after-sales service on this game reasonably behind us, we will make several hundred copies available for purchase directly via our dedicated pledge manager. Although this is not our immediate priority, we intend to extend and further develop the universe of Claustrophobia, we will shift our focus to this game later in the year. CAPTAIN VOODOO We are really happy to have embarked on this adventure with Black Book Éditions . Player feedback on this superb role-playing project has far exceeded our expectations! We are also in discussion with our partners so that this universe sees the light of day in English, later this year. Our English-speaking audience will thus be able to set sail for these strange lands and meet the civilizations that inhabit them. We’ll open the treasure chest of news shortly. WEBSTORE It is time! By mid-year, once all Conan: the Conqueror pledges are delivered, we will be opening the online store we've been working on for some time. It will offer products from several ranges, in limited quantities, as well as new products. We're not planning to make it just a clearance or pre-order space but give it a life of its own. It is also part of a more comprehensive restructuring project for our pledge manager and our after-sales service, which will be overhauled this year. We point out in advance that there are no plans, with very specific exceptions, to make the products available on our store at a price lower than that which was theirs during our campaigns. We want our early supporters to be most rewarded. Likewise, pre-orders will not offer a lower price than campaigns. 2021 will be an opportunity for us to meet many of the expectations of our seasoned players, and to prepare for 2022, which will be full of new things, both in terms of systems and universes. We thank you again for your involvement and your interest and we’ll see you soon for Mythic Battles: Ragnarök!
