Taverns. Inns. Bars.
If you’ve played an RPG for any amount of time, chances are your characters have ended up in at least one, if not multiple versions of all of those. That can be tough for a GM to keep up with. So that’s where SideQuests: Tip-Top Taverns is here to help. It’s descriptions for 20 different establishments for your adventurers to rest, relax, and find some new adventures. The book is up on Kickstarter now.

Options. In an RPG, you can never have enough options, if you ask me. And The Book of Many Things gives both players and GMs just that, options. Lots, and lots, and lots of options, for just about everything. The print version of the Pathfinder version of the book is up on Kickstarter now.

Thursday already? That’s not a complaint, mind you. Just a reaction. Seems the week has gone by quick. And while I don’t know if there’ll specifically be gaming this weekend, I know there’ll be authentic Mexican food. And that’s got me hyped (possibly even more than gaming! Churros are my kryptonite). In the meantime, though, we still gotta make your gaming tables look good.
Today in the Terrain Corner we’ve got: Shrine of the Lawgiver + Oven Mitt Preorder From Privateer Press, Heroic Maps – Modular Kit: Mossy Dungeon Chambers, Deep-Cut Studio releases game mats for RPGs that you can write on, Darkburg: Fantasy Gaming Mat from Pwork Wargames, and New Technical Platforms – 90 degrees From Tabletop Scenics.

Be my druidess.
Be my everything.
Considering the rest of the lyrics of that song, I should probably stop there.
I’m not sure how much Type O Negative they listen to in the world of Crystal Clans, but I have a feeling that might be a song that the Leaf Clan jams out to often. Get a look at these wardens of the forest in this preview.

Minis games are fun, but they can be really intimidating for a new player. A game like Infinity that’s been around for quite a long time has quite a catalog of figures, and then there’s the various factions, and trying to figure out what works with what, and bleh, it can be a wreck. Thankfully, Corvus Belli is here to help. They’ve posted up a Beginner’s Buyers Guide to help you ease your way into the game.

Confession: I never played a monk in Pathfinder. But I did play one in 3.5. Man, they were awful there. So, since Pathfinder played heavily with the OGL from 3.5, I never gave them a look. In the new edition of Pathfinder, though, everything is getting a rework. And as a class I was always interested in playing, but didn’t want to just hamstring my character, I’m interested to see what changes were made. And in this preview, I get a look at some of them.

The other iconic ship for the Rebels, besides the X-Wing, is arguably the Y-Wing. Older, hardier, and about as maneuverable as a sleepy bantha, this rugged fighter still has a place in squadrons. And in the new edition of X-Wing coming from Fantasy Flight, it still has a place on your tabletops. But how will this fighter change? That’s what you get a look at in this preview.

And we’ve circled back around to the start of the work week. But, never fear, it will eventually be the weekend again, and more gaming will be had. And, with gaming, sometimes comes terrain. So, to make sure your gaming tables look as good as possible, let’s head into the Terrain Corner.
Today we have: New Imperial Assault Map Released From Fantasy Flight, Acheson Creations 20% Sale on More Adventurer’s Corner Products, and Official Frostgrave Mat Available From Pwork Wargame.
The latest faction for Beyond the Gates of Antares is hitting tabletops. They’re the Virai, and they’re very different from the other factions already out there.

In Khador, the philosophy is “bigger is better.” So they don’t just make warjacks, they make huge warjacks. They don’t just make armored soldiers, they make huge armored soldiers.

There’s also a new version of one of the original warcasters for the game, as well as a Legion of Everblight release is sneaking into this batch of releases.
