Welcome to the website and home of Lords & Legends, a new TCG from Lords of the West. Our small team of artists and writers invite you to join us on a thrilling adventure of campaigns across the universe, filled with powerful Lords, epic commands and Legends of all kinds. In this first post, I want to introduce to you the design philosophy and core tenents behind our company, and lay out some of our core values behind the game and its creation.
Lords & Legends is a true passion project designed to provide a fun and engaging social atmosphere between friends new and old. In its design, we aim to provide a depth of strategic mechanics and a rewarding deck building experience for both new players & TCG veterans alike, that is firmly rooted in a grim science fiction and dark fantasy aesthetic.
In our approach to thematic worldbuilding, we want to provide a rich and detailed universe of lore with a focus on exploring and developing the characters and settings that remain true to the Lords & Legends Universe. We promise to remain vigilant on this front to not include any questionable crossovers or discorded theme mixing to appeal to shareholders over our customer satisfaction.
For new players, our Starter Deck & Lords Library products provide an affordable path to expand your growing library of cards and jump into a game with your friends. Within the Lords Libraries, comes a collection of every card in a specific color needed to begin deckbuilding with alternate Lords and new strategies, or complete your collection. We aim to offer these products initially to be able to play with the cards you want - no shelling out hundreds of dollars for singles, or thousands of dollars for a meta deck brew. Cards should be affordable for those wanting to play together.
For those looking for something more to chase and collect, future booster products will contain rare cards, alternative art and template treatments, epic foiling treatments and more, which are not required for core gameplay. These items are optional for collectors seeking the thrill of the hunt, or those that wish to visually upgrade and elevate thier decks.
On releasing new cards, we are planning on releasing a narrative based game expansion two to three times per year of 250+ new cards to allow players to develop and enjoy the meta - not to overwhelm our audience with rapid fire releases or overlapping spoliers with exhausting perpetual hype. Major expansions of larger core sets will follow after those expansion packs that revise, reprint and innovate on existing cards to refresh and invigorate the core game.
At Lords of the West, we are extremely dedicated and passionate about Lords & Legends, its gameplay and the world and characters we create within it for years to come. We currently have over 12 narrative expansions planned that continue the stories and characters in this universe, with more on the horizon.
Thanks for reading all that, and we hope that you will enjoy the cards, art, and lore for years to come as much as we do. Please sign up for our mailing list to keep up to date on new products, upcoming releases and special offers here at LordsandLegends.com.
With that, welcome to the universe - and good hunting, Lords.
