On the western end of the Mediterranean, across a narrow strait from Northern Africa, sits the Iberian Peninsula, a rich and well-populated land that has been a battleground since ancient times. Its fate in the medieval world is now yours to decide, as modern Spain and Portugal are carved into many Christian and Muslim realms, each trying to decide the balance of power in their favor. Determine the Fate of Iberia in this new flavor pack for Crusader Kings III on console, coming on November 14.

Fate of Iberia introduces the Struggle system to Paradox’s popular medieval strategy role-playing game. Participants in a historic struggle will have new rules and bonuses as the Struggle moves through phases of opportunity and challenge. Over the centuries, your characters will have to adjust their strategies and plan new avenues of attack as competing forces in Iberia try to unite the peninsula under one ruler and one faith. If you prefer more peaceful strategies, you can negotiate a compromise that leaves the rich lands in peace, but divided among smaller rulers. How great is your ambition?

Free League Publishing today released the illustrated edition of H.P. Lovecraft’s iconic story The Dunwich Horror, by acclaimed artist François Baranger. A full retail release by Design Studio Press is coming soon.

Enter the desolate, decrepit Massachusetts village of Dunwich. Lost in the depths of the inhospitable countryside with its dark, bramble-covered valleys, ancient witch stories live on. Brace thyself, for this a tale of dark rituals, witchcraft and the looming shadow of the Old Ones.

Read more about The Dunwich Horror by Lovecraft/Baranger

The Dunwich Horror is a true classic of American horror and a dark tale of powers from beyond our world written by H.P. Lovecraft, a giant of horror literature and popular culture.

Since the 1920s, Lovecraft’s short stories and novels have spellbound generations and influenced countless games, comics, novels, records, and films. His novella The Dunwich Horror, written in 1928 and first published in Weird Tales in 1929, is an absolute classic. Now, François Baranger presents the epic illustrated version of the story, a beautifully produced hardback book in the huge 262 X 350mm folio format, bringing Lovecraft’s horror to life with lavish, full-spread images.

The critically acclaimed artist François Baranger was fascinated early on by Lovecraft’s works that explore the darkest corners of human imagination. After dreaming about illustrated versions of Lovecraft’s works for years, Baranger finally began to create his own vision of the Lovecraftian horror. He has previously interpreted the classics The Call of Cthulhu and At the Mountains of Madness, published by Free League in collaboration with Design Studio Press which received international praise.
