Summoners Fate, the roguelike deck builder from D20Studios, gets more attention at NGDC

Summoners Fate, the roguelike card collecting strategy RPG from D20Studios, has just nabbed a coveted spot as a qualifier for the Nordic Game Discovery Contest in November and is now joining PAX10. The turn-based deck building game lets you command a colourful cast of fantasy creatures whose double-jointed necks look up at you as the Summoner, with thrilling grid-based combat and procedurally generated levels.

The fact that Summoners Fate lets you hurl a squirrel at those who get in your way should already be a selling point in itself, but just in case you need more things to pique your interest, you can also recruit a group of goblins having a birthday party in the forest or free a trapped bear and reap the rewards of your kind deed (or pay the price, depending on the dice of fate).
