Staff Pick
Forty years ago, Black Herran led an army of nightmares to nearly conquer the world, vanishing on the eve of victory. Something far worse has risen from the ashes. Now the future of the world is in the hands of the same monsters that brought the world to the brink of ruin. It's amazing what you can achieve with careful planning and a few exploding pigs.

Synopsis
When you are all out of heroes, all that's left are the villains. Black Herran was a dread demonologist, and the most ruthless general in all Essoran. She assembled the six most fearsome warriors to captain her armies: a necromancer, a vampire lord, a demigod, an orcish warleader, a pirate queen, and a twisted alchemist. Together they brought the whole continent to its knees... Until the day she abandoned her army, on the eve of total victory. 40 years later, she must bring her former captains back together for one final stand, in the small town of Tarnbrooke - the last bastion against a fanatical new enemy tearing through the land, intent on finishing the job Black Herran started years before. Seven bloodthirsty monsters. One town. Their last hope.
