Kinda sad Cabals kinda imploded
@umbralAeronaut – check this week’s list – it’s in there! The campaign wasn’t live last week when this list was published.
One that has me interested but didn’t make the list is Ether Wars.

It’s a bilingual game that is planned for Spanish and English. It’s early days so they haven’t yet committed to other language options… presumably those would be stretch goals.
As for the game itself it seems to be an RTS-inspired ‘worker placement’ game where the workers are in fact dice (that are also your soldiers). Four science-fiction factions with asymmetric abilities give it a bit of a Starcraft vibe. Various resource zones constitute the map and define the conflict as players vie for Plasma or Crystal or what-have-you. Every player also has a Hero dice that can be used to define the focus of their attentions in a given turn.
Lords of the Eastern Reach has me intrigued…very intrigued.
