Heads over Tales

It might seem like I’m panning over the other 7 stories, but that’s because I want to preserve as much of the story for those that are interested in reading the book. I found each of the stories in this book to be an easy and delightful read. Each story has its own twists and turns, character moments and surprises. Even when I thought I knew where one of the stories was going, the author pulls the rug out from under me by saying “Yeah, you were on the right page, but here’s this extra bit you didn’t see coming”.

When it was announced that Aconyte Books would be printing novels about Fantasy Flight’s properties, everyone knew that the reason was to get more people interested in the games that the books are based on. Tales From The Crucible succeeds in that endeavour, even for a game that I already enjoy playing. I’m really itching to get Keyforge back to the table soon. Not only that, but when I do play again, I feel as if I’ll be paying more attention to each card I play. Looking for references and bits of lore that tie back to the fiction I read, creating a deeper connection between the game and myself. Honestly, those are the games that I tend to enjoy the most, the ones that form a bond with me.
