TGN Features
Crowdfunding
It’s time again to collect all the podcasts and vidcasts from the past week into one place for you.
This week we’ve got: Geeks of the North episode 10, d-Infinity Live Series 4, episode 4, Gamers Lounge ep. 102 – Deadzone, Adeptus Infernus Episode 013,
Kolaps Ground Zero is a new sci-fi miniatures skirmish game using 40mm miniatures that’s back up on Indiegogo after regrouping an re-evaluating their product. Players fight in a post-apocalyptic Europe with themes from horror, sci-fi, cyberpunk, and even mythology. They’ve made it over their funding goal (it was only €650, but they’re still over it) and still have 19 days to go.
Note: the page is in French, as is the game, but English is coming soon.

Rise of Cthulhu is a new 2-player strategy card game that’s up on Kickstarter. Players must lead their cult in order to gain the most influence at key Lovecraftian locations in order to have the most favor with the Old Ones when they return. Sure, you’ll lose your sanity at the end, more than likely, but you’ll probably not get ripped to shreds right afterward.
The game is already over its funding goal with still 22 days to go.

Wrummy 3-4-5 is a new spin on a classic card game. Instead of getting sets via like-kind or runs, you get sets by making words. So it’s a bit of a mix between classic Rummy and Scrabble.
They’re up on Kickstarter now and looking for some funding love.

Warlord Games adds to their Bolt Action line with the release of their new Waffen-SS Cavalry set. Yes kids, men on horseback were used during WWII and still used even later. While it seems rather backward, these units could still be very effective, going over terrain and into places at a speed that other modes of transportation simply couldn’t compare to.

Late Knight Games is running a Kickstarter campaign for MajiMonsters, their monster-catching RPG. Sort of a more grown-up Pokemon sort of thing, players look to catch MajiMonsters, which were created by ancient wizards for hidden purposes. They’re around 1/3 funded, but with still 28 days left to go, there’s a good chance they’ll make it.

Capitan Games gives you a new way to create and manage your Divisional Commander forces with their free online army builder program. Players can create their armies and even keep a record of matches with the software.

Warlord Games brings out the big guns for Beyond the Gates of Antares with their new Boromite Team with Heavy Frag Borer. This certainly looks like something I don’t want to be standing in front of when it goes off. The kit comes with the gun, 3-man crew, spotter drone, and an orders die.
That’s Boromite, baby!

Titan-Forge has their latest Kickstarter project underway. They’ve left behind the steam and iron for the wide open spaces of outer space.

RoarStack is a new card game up on Kickstarter. Players use their ink-blotted cards to tell a collective story, hopefully scoring points in the process. Games can pretty much never be the same thing twice.
They’ve made it over their funding goal and there’s still 26 days to go in the campaign.

From them to you: Read more
Warlord Games has a big release for Judge Dredd. This time it’s the Manta Prowl Tank. Cruise around Mega City 1 in style with this kit. Baddies won’t know what hit ‘em when you go in and uphold the law.
“I am, the Law!”
“Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaw!”

Hey kids,
Laundry’s getting cleaned, red beans and rice are in the pot for dinner, and I’m about to do some editing for the next issue of Ravage. In the meantime, he’s some of the shorter stories we found in the past couple days we wanted you to know about.
Included are: the next update from Manorhouse Workshop about their underground terrain, New preview art and a green from Broken Contract, New Preview of Virgil from Siren Miniatures, New Woodland Indians available from Wargames Factory, New 15mm Tanks from Brigade Models, a new Dark Treeman from Dark Art Studios, Finger and Toe releases new Crates terrain pdf., and Ludus Magnus Studio previews their final render for their Centaur Archer.
We’ve got another Saturday here on TGN and that means a collection of the review stories we found throughout the week. What are others saying about the games you’re interested in playing? Read on to find out.
This time we’ve got reviews (and a couple previews) for games/models like: Rivet Wars, Eight Minute Empire, Kromlech’s Orc Warchief, Witness, new Nachtjager releases for Flames of War, Scoville, Wizard Dodgeball, San Juan (the game, not the location. Though one is based on the other), Xia: Legends of a Drift System, Out of Dodge, Hoyuk, the 5th Edition Monster Manual, Amerigo, and King of New York.
That should keep you busy for a while.
Fantasy Flight Games gives us a look inside the new Scum & Villainy Faction for X-Wing Miniatures straight from the horse’s mouth. The game’s developers, Alex Davy and Frank Brooks, show us some of what can be done with the range, including some same fleets you can put together with this next wave of ships.

Fantasy Flight Games is looking to add two new people to their company. They’re still on the hunt for an application developer (or are looking for yet another) as well as a cook for their Game Center.

Battlefront knows all those artillery pieces they’ve been showing off lately aren’t any good unless you’ve got a good command structure in place to know where to aim all of it. As such, they’re showing off their Israeli Command Teams for Fate of a Nation.

LudiCreations is in their final couple days for their Pocket Imperium Kickstarter campaign. In this quick-playing (30-45min game), players are looking to build their fleets of starships and expand out into the galaxy, taking over resources from their opponents in the process. There is no luck element in the game (no dice or card flips), just strategy.
The game is around 2.5x funded and has right around a week to go.

Forge World has started taking orders for their new Deredeo Pattern Dreadnaught and the first couple weapon systems for it.
I know I’ve lamented the look of some of Forge World’s dreadnaughts before, but this one I like. Granted, I think it’s because it reminds me of Mechwarrior (kinda looking like the Warhammer, actually… Not exactly like it, but it’s what I thought of), but still.
Anyway, you can order these now and they’ll be sent out on the 30th.

Goodman Games are in their final couple days on Kickstarter. Their book, Grimtooth’s Ultimate Traps, collects all 5 volumes of Grimtooth’s Traps into one 460-page place. Want to really get at your players? Just set some of these incredibly diabolical traps in your dungeon and watch them go.
