"Whether you plan on treasure-seeking in the grim darkness or holding back the forces of evil with naught but your sword and your wits, Dwarf King’s Hold is the acclaimed dungeon crawler board game from Mantic Games.

Dwarf King's Hold: Ancient Grudge Rulebook, 5 USD (digital)

"Dwarf King’s Hold – Ancient Grudge is a bit different from Dead Rising and Green Menace. Most importantly, Ancient Grudge is not a standalone game – it’s an expansion. This is important as it means that you cannot play Ancient Grudge on its own; you must have one or other of the first two games to use it. Either will do nicely, and if you have both then you’ll get even more out of Ancient Grudge.  Ancient Grudge arms you ways to greatly expand on your games, more than doubling the number of different types of Adventurer you can play with each force.  The Dwarf King’s Hold: Ancient Grudge Rulebook contains all the rules you need for warbands as well as new troops types like the ghostly Wraiths and the mighty Werewolves, as well as four multiplayer scenarios!"

The quest continues with 6 all-new adventures, intensifying with every step as you advance to face the toughest challenge yet.     Become Legendary! The heroes and Mortibris now wield greater power than ever, using the superior Legendary side of the hero cards from the very first adventure.     Summon Valendor! Assume the god-like form of the almighty Father of Magic, bolstering the ranks of the heroes with a new and powerful ally.     Confront Ba’el!

"Nexus Psi is overrun, and Containment is failing. The scale of the problem is beyond what the initial deployment of Enforcers can contain. Worse, the protracted global conflict has attracted the attention of more outsiders, who come to Nexus Psi in pursuit of their own agendas.  Two ancient alien empires - the Forge Fathers of the Star Realm and the mysterious Asterians - arrive to add their own complications to the Deadzone. Both are very advanced and deadly, and both are fighting against every other faction present, including each other.  Faced with these new threats, the Council has sanctioned heavy reinforcements to be dispatched to the Deadzone. The stakes are raised, as the battle becomes a war... 
This book contains: - Faction Focus: Background information on two brand new factions - the Forge Fathers and the Asterians. Additional rules for new Enforcer specialists as reinforcements arrive. - New Rules: Special abilities, new scenery, and environmental items which bring more depth to your games. - Bigger Games: Rules for multimat and multiplayer games, reflecting the increased scale of conflict as the battle continues."
