Hey Hey! So I teamed up with a couple of genius writers and artists back in 2016 to create VORPAL CHAINSWORD GAMES. Our first game was the deck-building rotating-dungeon adventure game Ravingspire: Assault on the Tower of Madness, and since then we've released Reaverquest (a 2-3 player quickplay card battle game) and are working on two more games, Chronomega (a sci-fi space station adventure game) and the much-anticipated battle dice storytelling adventure game, Return to Ravingspire (coming to Kickstarter in 2019!). You can learn more about Ravingspire with my previews below, and about our other games over on the VC Games page.

RAVINGSPIRE is a combination deck building and tactical board game. The adventure takes place on a rotating tower board, which represents the labyrinthine Tower of Ravingspire. Players control individual heroes who need to gather resources, equip weapons and armor, align the secret passages within the spire, and traverse upwards to the keep where a great treasure is rumored to be held. But not all is as it seems within Ravingspire, as time and space are but playthings to the ancient lord of that haunted place! During their explorations the Heroes will utilize three primary statistics: Fight, Skill, and Charm, in order to disable traps, gather treasure and weapons, and find a way into the spire. Along the way they must try to maintain their sanity as they face not only wandering monsters, but are also hunted by dark reflections of themselves.

Check out tutorial and gameplay videos for Ravingspire over on Vorpal Chainsword Games!

Ravingspire: Assault on the Tower of Madness!
Picture
Shayla entered the mystic tower in search of unguarded valuables, but now finds herself trapped in its shifting passageways.

Solve the puzzles of the tower to rotate the levels and open secret doorways.


Between the rotating tower board, the three-part encounter ring, and each player's own battlemat, there are over two square feet of gameplay in Ravingspire!

Sabine was once known as The Benevolent, until she became trapped in Ravingspire and slowly went mad. Now she hunts down any heroes who dare enter the tower for her new Dark Lord!
Picture
Search the halls for whatever resources you can find, as even simple objects and weapons can help you defeat your foes and escape!
Picture
Tower cards change the dynamics of an entire level of the tower, helping or hindering the heroes, and making each map unique!
Picture
Monsters and traps haunt the hallways of Ravingspire, but brave (or lucky) heroes who defeat them can earn powerful rewards!

Slot equipment cards into your Battle Mat to save them for use against stronger foes!


Picture
The rare Loot cards grant even greater bonuses than standard items, and may be used as either Fight, Skill, or Charm in battle!

    Now that the Kickstarter has completed and our backers got their game, you can find Ravingspire on Amazon or you can follow our progress on the Ravingspire Facebook Page!
