Today Privateer Press announced their first departure from the Iron Kingdoms setting in a major release. First they had the Iron Kingdoms RPG setting, released as d20 supplements. Then came WARMACHINE, a miniatures tactical game that is set in the Iron Kingdoms. It has been doing really quite well, spawning a stand-alone expansion game called HORDES that shares the setting, timeline, and several major characters. This past year Infernal Contraption was released, a card game based on the Iron Kingdoms take on goblins and the Iron Kingdoms concept of mechanika. This one’s a more complete departure: Kaiju. That’s right, giant rubber monsters, teams of super-men, the Tokyo Tower being destroyed over and over again…
I’m not quite sure what to make of this descent into matters so clearly weeaboo.
