Our first game of EDT 2020 has been completed and, depending on which player you were watching, it was either a nail biter or a slumberfest. Our players have already debriefed and declared a winner. They have started Round 2 which will conclude in the next two days and the results will be posted. As…
Today is the start of our yearly Empire Deluxe Championship Tournament. Played on the final two weeks of every year, the top players from the leader board pit themselves against each other in a moderated game to determine who will carry the title of Empire Champion for the next twelve months.

Bard is one of the core classes in both Pathfinder 1st and 2nd edition. However, the much simpler 2E ruleset provides a different playing experience than what a typical player will expect from 1E. Some of the changes work well while others take some time getting used to, especially if you are a long-time 3rd…

I put the finishing touches on the Future Units Graphic Set today. You can download it on EDIBLE. This set is a replacement for the default unit graphics and does not include any new units. The graphics focus on futuristic, science fiction versions of each unit type to give a unique touch to your Empire…
With our end of year tournament just a month away, the first draft of the re-written tournament rules has been posted to the website. There is still more to come with this guide, and it still needs proof reading, but it includes 90% of the rule changes needed to move from classic Empire Deluxe to…
