The Pandora Event ripped holes in the very fabric of our reality. Holes that let The Other-Verse in, a nightmarish world beyond our own, filled with deadly flora and fauna.
Deadly bacteria and viruses that we had no defence against brought human civilization to its knees. As plagues swept away two-thirds of the human race, the alien life-forms of the Other-Verse began to emerge through the cracks in the walls of our reality, ever expanding, out competing native, terrestrial life, hunting Earth's own biosphere to the brink of extinction. Turning our world into a hellish copy of the Other-Verse itself. Such is the world into which your characters will step, to struggle for survival against carnivorous plant life and predatory alien creatures as well as desperate gangs of raiders and bandits, competing for the scarce resources that have been left behind in... Pandora's Wake.

Pandora's fury is a tabletop miniatures game designed to let you play out skirmishes and battles in a Post Apocalyptic landscape.
Set in the same world as our RPG "Pandora's Wake" the game lets you fight skirmishes and battles with any miniatures and in any scale.
After the 'Pandora Event,' an alien world known to us as 'The Other-Verse' has ripped holes in the skin of our reality, holes through which deadly diseases, carnivorous plants and killer monsters have swept across Earth and destroyed mankind's civilisations.
In 'Pandora's Fury' you can play gangs of survivors battling for resources or simply fighting to survive or you can play swarms of creatures from 'The Other Verse' as they sweep across the landscape, destroying all they encounter.
Includes rules to convert your 'Pandora's Wake' RPG characters to the Pandora's Fury miniatures rules.
The world is ending.
Not in a single, catastrophic moment, but slowly and painfully, screaming out its dying agonies in prolonged death-throes that may last a generation. It is dying, murdered by another world, a malevolent world, a world that devours all it touches and makes it like itself, a world the survivors of our world have dubbed “The OtherVerse”.
In Pandora's Fury! the players will create groups of survivors who are struggling to stay alive in a post-apocalyptic world that is being overrun by the incursion of the Other-Verse and its hostile flora and fauna, which are slowly and inexorably turning our world into a copy of their own. Survivors must battle these hostile elements of an alien world, gather supplies and deal with other bands of survivors, some hostile, and some not, to try and survive in a world gone mad.
Just £2.50 in the Sale, that's 50% off!
In the not too distant future, the Pandora Event ripped a hole in the walls of our universe. The nightmare that it revealed, we call 'The Other-Verse'. A parallel dimension of carnivorous plants, vicious monsters and deadly diseases.
Central Europe is in Chaos, with millions dead and the UN forces in disarray, struggling to hold back the hellish creatures of the Other-Verse.
In Switzerland, a small band of survivors run for their lives, but when they become infected with alien fungal spores, they are left only one choice. To survive they must reach the closest hospital in Bex and convince the survivors there to use their precious medical supplies to save strangers.
What they find when they reach the hospital is worse than they ever imagined.
Pandora's Wake: The Nomad Chronicles is a Post Apocalyptic tale of struggle and survival. A blend of action, survival horror and the courage of the human spirit laced with a dry gallows humour.
A sample from Ch: 4
“It's getting closer!” Mathias cursed as the forest echoed with the roars of the creatures, “We aren't going to make it!”
“Damn you, don't leave me!” Magda screamed. Fear gripped the injured civil engineer. Whatever was out there was close now, and she knew it would be on them in a matter of minutes.
“We won't!” Mathias insisted although he was ashamed to admit that it had crossed his mind. Only for a second, but it had, and he hated himself for it. He had visions of having to explain what had happened to the others, to Knut and to his namesake, Father Mathias. In the next instant, he made a promise to himself. He would die here with Magda if he had to, but he wouldn’t leave her behind. Even if she hated him, he couldn't let her be taken by whatever horror of the Other-Verse thundered through the wooded slopes towards them."
Now only £1.25 in the 'End of the Year = End of the World Sale'.

There is an old tradition at this time of year that we here at Gethsemane Games like to keep, perhaps above any other. Often attributed to Mr Charles Dickens, the tradition of telling ghost stories at Christmas is far older than that and pre-dates both his storey 'A Christmas Carol' and the reign of Queen Victoria. Nor is it even a uniquely British tradition, although we tend to carry it on even today and the BBC proudly keep the tradition going by broadcasting a range of adaptations of the stories of M R James, Dickens and a host of other writers. In America the magnificent Washington Irving is said to have been quite the enthusiast for the tradition as evidenced by his storey 'Old Christmas' which can be found in “The Sketchbook of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent” first published in 1819”.
With that in mind, we would like to celebrate the practice of telling ghost stories at Christmas with a little tradition of our own, our 'Ghost Storey at Christmas' sale. From now until January 6th our Haunts and Horrors line and a selection of our GMs maps which seem particularly pertinent to creating haunting scenarios of Gothic horror will be available for only $1 each!
