Card-based RPG Eminence: Xander’s Tales Kicks Off Kickstarter

Eminence: Xander’s Tales is a card collecting role playing adventure which takes place in a world where fantasy and science collide. It’s a trading card game where you collect cards from beating and outsmarting your opponents in a competitive high risk duel.

The card mechanics have been inspired by the Triple Triad mini-game from Final Fantasy 8, combined with the strategic gameplay of a TCG and the community/storytelling features of an MMORPG. Think Pokémon TCG meets Skyrim in a love triangle with Final Fantasy.

The Kickstarter for this is now live for folks to check out.

John Breeden II

As a journalist John has covered everything from rural town meetings to the U.S. Congress and even done time as a crime reporter and photographer.|His first venture into writing about the game industry came in the form of a computer column called "On the Chip Side," which grew to have over 1 million circulation and was published in newspapers in several states. From there he did several "ask the computer guy" columns in magazines such as Up Front! in New Mexico and Who Cares? in Washington D.C. When the Internet started to become popular, he began writing guided Web tours for the newly launched Washington Post online section as well as reviews for the weekend section of the paper, something he still does from time to time. His experience in trade publications came as a writer and reviewer for Government Computer News. As the editor of GiN, he demands strict editorial standards from all the writers and reviewers. Breeden feels the industry needs a weekly, reliable trade publication covering the games industry and works tirelessly to accomplish that goal.
