Fading Suns Bundle of Holding deals!

Through MONDAY, JULY 22 we present TWO offers featuring FADING SUNS Fourth Edition, the far-future passion-play SFRPG from Ulisses Spiele. “Fading Suns” has starships, blasters, powered armor, alien races, and weird science — but also heroic knights, noble lords, high priests, and headstrong merchants — quests, artifacts, and inscrutable mysteries. And there is horror: monsters and terrifying metaphysical truths. It’s a medieval passion play, where Humanity’s greatest civilization has fallen, bringing a Dark Age to the Known Worlds. The Universal Church of the Celestial Sun (modeled on the historical Byzantine Orthodox Church) pursues cosmic intrigues against the Noble Houses and the Reeves Guild. But even as the stars fade to cinders and the sinful await Final Judgment, a leader has arisen. Emperor Alexius has sworn to unite the worlds again under one banner — to ignite hope once more.

Start with the revived July 2022 FADING SUNS 4E BUNDLE, with all three Fourth Edition core rulebooks and early supplements.

And its companion offer, FADING SUNS 4 LOST WORLDS

Then venture beyond the Phoenix Empire frontier with the all-new companion offer, FADING SUNS 4 LOST WORLDS, a collection of recent supplements that explore the star systems cut off from the Known Worlds a millennium ago:

Whether or not Emperor Alexius can save the darkening stars, it won’t be long before these two FADING SUNS offers flicker into nothingness together — specifically MONDAY, JULY 22.

Battles of Destiny Map Editor Available on GOG

The Battles of Destiny Map Editor is now available via GOG! The map editor actually shipped with the game, but was not accessible via the DOS Box. GOG has fixed this, and you can now make your own maps! Instruction for using the Map Editor start on p. 61 of the manual, and we plan to livestream some examples of how to use it.

There is an image attached showing the new startup screen. If you do not get this option, uninstall Battles of Destiny (you will be able to keep your saved games) and reinstall it.

You can get Battles of Destiny here https://www.gog.com/game/battles_of_destiny
