WizKids keeps up their previews for the upcoming Trinity War set for DC HeroClix with a look at Dr. Sivana and Black Adam.
I looked up the Trinity War on the DC Wiki the other day. Seems like an interesting (if maybe a bit confusing at times) story line.
Are you HeroClix players also comic book readers? I’ve not regularly read comics since the mid-90s, and then, it was primarily Marvel (the X-Factor team with Havok at the lead was my favorite).

Hopefully all our readers up in the North East are safe and warm.
Well, if you’re snowed in (or even if you’re not, I guess), here’s a selection of some of the shorter stories we’ve come across the past couple days.

Action Phase Games has launched a Kickstarter campaign for Heroes Wanted: The Stuff of Legend, their first expansion to their popular Heroes Wanted board game. Inside, you’ll get new Mythic and Supernatural heroes, as well as new game mechanics, and some new scenarios, too.
They’re more than 2x funded, and then some, already and have some stretch goals already added to the campaign.
Check out the upcoming issue of Ravage Magazine US for a review of the original Heroes Wanted game.

Battlefront continues their “all artillery, all the time” previews for Fate of a Nation with a look at the M50 155mm gun. It certainly can’t be said that you don’t have options in your methods of bombardment in that game.
I’ve got basically no knowledge of the conflict the game surrounds, but it seems there were lots of artillery pieces present.
Napoleon would’ve loved it.

Petersen Games and Historical Games Factory are teaming up to bring you an English version of their Theomachy card game. They’ve got a Kickstarter campaign up and running to get it funded, and they’ve already made it to their goal. So it’s on to stretch goals and extras for the next 32 days.

Mantic is now taking pre-orders for the next expansion of DreadBall, DreadBall Xtreme. This version of the game eschews the lights and glamor of the arena for the rough and rumble world of “wherever we can have a game that doesn’t get busted by the feds.” No referees. No fouls. Just you vs. the opponent.
From the announcement: Read more
R.A. Salvatore, the world-famous author, is running a Kickstarter campaign for his DemonWars: Allheart RPG. A continuation of his DemonWars RPG series, the game expands the story of the world as well as a new character class (the Knight), and new game systems like jousting.
The campaign still has 22 days to go if you want to get in on some fantasy RPG action.

Warlord Games has a new, thematic set for Bolt Action available. It’s the “Guarding the Chateau” set and is good for use as a command section for your German army. Or the guy in the trench coat, hat, and glasses could work in something for 7tv, too.

Zenit Miniatures has their latest releases for Kensei available over in their webshop. Included is their new Army Box. Get yourself a whole Kensei army in one go, complete with samurai, ashigaru, and a clan hero.

Battlefront doesn’t want you to have to leave your artillery pieces without crew and looking like there’s no leadership. So they’re showing off their Artillery HQ and Crew for Fate of a Nation. While most of the artillery was surplus from WWII, it doesn’t mean it was any less effective on the battlefield.

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.
From the campaign: Read more
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.

From the announcement: Read more
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.

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.

“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.

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.
