From a game room somewhere on Pandora:
“Yo, yo, yo, sup, muckasuckas! Tina here, coming to you today with the most AWESOMEST news EVER. If you heard more amazing news, your head would EXPLODE and your brains would spill all over the floor and—”
At the table, a weary Nerdvana Games Marketing rep sighed. “Tina…”
“OK, fine. I’ll be real witchu. Really real! Like, Bunkers & Badasses real. ‘Whaaat, Bunkers & Badasses is gonna be real? Can I play?’ Yes two times, girl, for REAL! The ladies and gal-ettes over at Nerdvana Games made B&B into a tabletop game that you can buy and own and cherish and play until your eyeballs fall out and you lose all your dice!”
Mordecai groaned. “Hijole, seriously? Why?”
“Mordy, please—we need to get through this. Tina, where were you?” replied the Marketing suit.
“Girl, stop interrupting me! VAULT HUNTERS, ARE YOU READY FOR THE GREATEST FUN YOU’VE EVER HAD?! This is your first-class ticket to Boom Town! Now sit down and strap in because once this choo-choo’s chuggin’, we’re not stopping for NOBODY. ROLL FOR INITIATIVE!”
“Tina, slow down, can you at least tell the people about the game first? They need to know what it is.”
“I SAID NO STOPPING!”
“Oo! I can talk about the game!” Claptrap chimed loudly. “I know all the rules AND I’m the best player ever!”
“Claptrap, we got this. Why don’t you all just start playing, and I’ll tell our fans about the game?”
“Fine, but I’m Bunker Master!” Tina agreed.
For Vault Hunters and fantasy role-playing game fans everywhere, Nerdvana Games, in collaboration with Leder Games and Gearbox Entertainment, is proud to introduce Bunkers & Badasses, a tabletop game based on the internationally acclaimed Borderlands franchise. The game will be available in the first quarter of 2021, but is available right now for pre-order on www.NerdvanaGames.com.
Nerdvana Games has taken Tiny Tina’s fictional role-playing game and reimagined it as a real-world tabletop game. The game explores the Borderlands world of Pandora through a blend of epic fantasy adventures and traditional Borderlands environments. Players will fight and shoot (and probably die!) in the incredible world of grand castles, grim dungeons, and creepy forests.
To begin the game, players will use the deep, but intuitive, Bunkers & Badasses character creation system. They’ll pick from 10 newly-imagined Vault Hunter classes and skill trees from both Borderlands 1 and Borderlands 2.
The Bunkers & Badasses science-fantasy RPG sourcebook, which retails for $59.99, includes:
- The official Bunkers & Badasses hardbound sourcebook that guides all the enemy-shooting, skeleton-looting, treasure-hoarding tabletop action;
- Multiple adventures including the original printing of Tiny Tina’s Assault on Dragon Keep—personally annotated by Tiny Tina herself—and The Merchant’s Quest for the Wizard’s Wand and Butt Stallion’s Hunny Heist, the never-before-seen sequel to Tiny Tina’s Assault Dragon Keep;
- More than 100 pieces of custom art inspired by the Borderlands universe; and,
- Multiple adventure campaigns that can be run straight out of the book, each full of Borderlands characters and enemies.
The Bunkers & Badasses RPG Deluxe Edition, which retails for $119.99, includes numerous premium components, including:
- Exclusive, custom-made Bunkers & Badasses dice;
- A one-of-a-kind die that is specially weighted to increase the chances of success when winning in the game;
- An exclusive stack of collectible gun cards for players; and,
- A set of 10 Borderlands miniatures created specifically for Bunkers & Badasses.
