TGN Features
Crowdfunding
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.

Fun to 11 is running a Kickstarter campaign for Epic PvP: Fantasy, their new card game where you pick a race, pick a class, shuffle, and fight!
If you want to try it before you buy it, there’s a print-and-play version on their site you can download.
They’ve already passed their funding goal (by a couple times over) and have added a bonus deck with the help of AEG.

Mind the Gap Studios regrouped, reconfigured, and has relaunched their Kickstarter campaign for Wizard Dodgeball. In the game, you draft wizards and try and take out your opponent using various spells and, of course, hucking balls as hard as you can at them.

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.

Games Workshop and Crooz Inc., have a new, free, video game app that you can download and play. This one’s The Horus Heresy: Drop Assault. Seems GW’s really letting the IP fly in terms of video games lately. I’ve been making a lot of announcements of this sort recently. Though, as this one’s free to play, it’s a bit different.
Check it out in the App Store.

In case you missed it, Kickstarter history was made yesterday with the launch of Exploding Kittens, the brain child of Matthew Inman, Elan Lee, and Shane Small. Within eight minutes, the game had reached its funding goal of $10,000. “That’s great,” you say. “Lots of games meet their funding quickly,” you add. Okay, how does 1000% funded in less than one hour sound? That’s $100,000 in ONE hour. Still not impressed? First, let’s be friends. I’ll let you buy me dinner. Second, how about $1 MILLION raised in under seven hours. Again, that is $1,000,000 in less than the average work day. If you’re not impressed now, then I’m not sure what will get you. Did you know we landed on the moon? Yes? Okay, well, I tried. So about this history making… Read more
Fat Dragon Games launched their Kickstarter campaign for their latest set of terrain. This time it’s Wilderness Adventures (and for some reason, that reminds me of the campground in National Lampoon’s Vacation… not sure why. They have nothing to do with one-another, but there we are, then). More than just trees and rocks, there are cliffs, temples, statues, and more. The campaign is already more than 13x funded with still 33 days to go. So there’s plenty of stretch goals and extras to check out.
