Austin’s favorite sci-fi radio thriller comes to life in a entirely new form! Three actors once again portray a variety of characters as sludge-monsters from the Planet Zygon invade the earth. Only this time, their adventures are accompanied by more than 1200 drawings by graphic wizard Tim Doyle, projected on the Long Center’s huge screen and accompanied by Graham Reynolds’ original score. Keeping Austin weirdly wonderful!

Shadowfist

August 10th, 2010

Shadowfist LogoShadowfist is the mile-a-minute, sword-clashing, butt-kicking, Uzi-spraying, boat-exploding, car-chasing, monster-crunching, Hong Kong cinematic action card game that is so epic it would take fourteen John Woos to film and a cast the likes of Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Chow Yun Fat and Michelle Yeoh. And that’s just in the first five minutes!

Shadowfist is a trading card game from Inner Kingdom Games and is played and playtested at Dragon’s Lair Comics & Fantasy® San Antonio!

Shadowfist is a trading card game based loosely on action movies from the studios in Hong Kong with a splash of Hollywood for spice. The cards represent people, places, and things involved in the Secret War to control the world’s feng shui sites, mystical places of power that guarantee victory and prosperity for those who control them. Each game represents a small battle in the larger war raging all around us.

Players represent factions fighting in a secret war for control over the world by harnessing the life force of chi.

During a game, you’ll play various cards to advance your side of the story and move closer to your goal of controlling feng shui sites. Each player needs his or her own deck of Shadowfist cards to play, but the exact mix of cards you play with is up to you.

Shadowfist is a very combat-oriented game that features many of the same game mechanics as Magic: The Gathering such as attacking, defending, permanent character enhancements and instantaneous game effects. At face value, it’s not all that different from most other CCGs, but a closer look reveals that it is the single best multi-player card game on the market with a wealth of nuances to enhance games of three or more players.

Check out Shadowfist Game Info here!

Organized Play

The San Antonio & Austin Shadowfist playgroups meet every other Tuesday night from 5pm to 10pm. Our weekly activities range from friendly play to tournaments to playtesting for the forthcoming expansion set. All are welcome to join the fun!

After the Omega Bomb of Nazi Germany is accidentally launched, giving the human race 72 hours to live, four specialists are sent back in time to prevent the disaster. Unfortunately, instead of getting send back two dys, our heroes find themselves 67 years in the past, landing right in the middle of a German POW camp.

As the four time-displaced heroes hurry to ground zero, they take careful steps not to alter the past. However, their presence has alerted a sinister and evil enemy to their mission, the creator of the Omega Bomb himself, Axel Von Metzger, The Butcher!

Everyone I know – comic book reader or not – loves to imagine the world is a more mysterious place than they think it is. Everyone wants there to be places we haven’t found. Everyone wants a little magic, a lost civilization or a corner of the planet with ancient, unexplained ruins.
