EDEN STUDIOS GETS MEDIEVAL WITH ARMY OF DARKNESS ROLEPLAYING GAME
Albany, NY (March 13, 2003) - Eden Studios announces today an agreement with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios for the design, production and distribution of Army of Darkness roleplaying and card games. Currently in development, the game is slated to hit shelves in October 2003.
"We are excited to have the opportunity to bring gaming to the Army of Darkness universe. I've been watching and loving this movie for years. The characters, setting, and tone have created a cult favorite and we look forward to adding to the property," said George Vasilakos, President of Eden Studios.
"We are delighted to have Eden on board for the Army of Darkness games. As the creators of the premier zombie survival horror roleplaying game, a slew of other horror-based products, and the very humorous HACK card game, we feel that Eden brings the proper mix of levity, terror, and expertise to the table," added Kobe Jackson, Product Development Manager at MGM Consumer Products. "We look forward to great Army of Darkness roleplaying and card games."
"And it gets even better," George continues. "We have one of the best game designers lined up to pen the Army of Darkness roleplaying game-Shane Lacy Hensley. Shane is best known for creating the Weird West line of roleplaying games, including the award-winning Deadlands. Shane brings the great writing, solid design, and irreverent tone so necessary to bring the Army of Darkness game to life. We loved his work on Fistful o' Zombies, and we are jazzed that he's on board for Army of Darkness."
"Projects like this only come along a few times in one's career, so you snatch them when you can and make time for them if you have to. I've met Bruce Campbell on several occasions--he wrote forewords for a few of our Deadlands books, so I'll be able to contact the Man himself for insights when needed. Combine the monstrous cult following of this film with Eden's usual high standards (just look at Buffy!) and this will be a definite winner!", comments Shane.
The Army of Darkness roleplaying game will use a special version of the Unisystem, Eden's in-house roleplaying game rules that emphasize storytelling and ease of play. The rules allow players to take the role of their favorite character from the Army of Darkness movie, or make up their own unique Champion. Fans of the movie can look forward to full game stats for Ash, Sheila, Henry, Arthur and more, as well as details on equipment, magic, monsters and more! While the Army of Darkness version of the Unisystem focuses on drama and action, it will remain fully compatible with Eden's other Unisystem games, including the Origins Award-nominated All Flesh Must Be Eaten, Terra Primate, Armageddon, and CJ Carella's WitchCraft roleplaying games.
The Army of Darkness card game will be designed by Eden's own George Vasilakos, creator of the Abduction card game and developer of the HACK card game. It will be non-collectible, humorous, featuring fast and furious game play. Great for parties, game night, or a family get-together.
Eden Studios makes cool games. Their latest hit, the Buffy the Vampire Slayer roleplaying game, continues to delight fans of the show and gaming. All Flesh Must Be Eaten, the premier zombie survivor horror roleplaying game, sold out the first print run in less than four weeks. Eden also produces CJ Carella's WitchCraft, the roleplaying game of dark secrets and magic, Conspiracy X, the roleplaying game of aliens and government cover-ups, and the Eden Odyssey line of d20 system game products. On the lighter side, Eden Studios offers HACK!, a humorous card game based on the Knights of the Dinner Table? comic book by Kenzer and Company, and Abduction , the fast and furious game of alien abduction.
