Ascension: Lord of the Rings kicks off a crowdfunding campaign in July

Justin Gary was a professional Magic: The Gathering player before he created his own hit deckbuilding game, Ascension, back in 2011. But after releasing 17 sets in the original fantasy world of Vigil, Gary is following Magic’s example by branching out. The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth was Magic’s first full Universes Beyond set, and Gary’s Stoneblade Entertainment is launching its first licensed version of Ascension: a set based on The Lord of the Rings, which will be crowdfunding on Gamefound starting in July.
