Information about He Who Fights With Monsters: City of Fallen Echos.

"Catalyst Game Labs is pleased to announce our first board game in partnership with Travis “Shirtaloon” Deverell – City of Fallen Echoes. Travis is the author of the epic LitRPG series, He Who Fights with Monsters, with twelve volumes (and the thirteenth due this month) and millions of copies sold. Set in Pallimustus, the series follows Jason Asano as he ranks up from common Outworlder to . . . whatever semi-cosmic power level he's at right now.

"I've been a fan of He Who Fights With Monsters for years," stated Loren Coleman, CEO of CGL, "and jumped at the opportunity to bring Clan Asano to gaming tables everywhere."

Set in the iconic universe of He Who Fights with Monsters, City of Fallen Echoes is a push-your-luck dice game based on Catalyst's Encounters system, previously seen in Encounters: Shadowrun and BattleTech: Encounters. The cards feature many characters and powerful items that you’ve grown to love on Pallimustus, as well as the monsters you dread. Travis has been highly engaged in this project, personally reviewing and approving the illustrations for each item, adventurer, and monster. For the first time, see a tidal troll and a shab, wield the Trowel of the Blood Cult, and level up with Clive Standish and his wife.

Jason Hardy, Director of Roleplaying Games at CGL, said "Working with a licensor like Travis is a dream -- he understands the genre in a way that few do, and he's a gamer so he knows the language"

City of Fallen Echoes is scheduled for release in the first half of 2027, and will retail for $19.99.

Team Catalyst is also hard at work on a previously announced, and playtested live with Shirtaloon himself, roleplaying game set in Pallimustus.

We are also working on at least two additional board games for the 2027-2028 window.
