Many of you have played Sushi Go! If you liked that game (or even if you haven't played it), you might want to check out the other new games coming from the same publisher, Joey Games. The company is running a Kickstarter to get all 3 off the ground as part of one campaign. Head on through and check it out.
From the campaign:
Hi! We’re Joey Games, a new Australian board game publisher founded by Meredith and Phil Walker-Harding. We want to share our love for people and the planet through playing games.
We believe play is an essential part of living a healthy, balanced and restful life. Our games are designed to create meaningful connections between kids and adults as they play together. We design our games to celebrate the peoples, plants and animals of Australia and foster an understanding and care for them.
By backing our Kickstarter you will be helping us launch Joey Games and fund the production of our three launch titles. You'll also be helping us determine the size of our first print run, a key decision for a new publisher. As a thank-you for pledging, we are offering copies of our games when they are produced later in the year, and some other goodies. Thanks so much for your support!
The campaign's making its way to its funding goal with 14 days left to go.
The next 2-player box for Age of Sigmar is just on the horizon. It's called Arcane Cataclysm and it pits the light of the Lumineth Realm-Lords against the Disciples of Tzeentch. Get a first look inside this set in this new preview.
From the article:
The winds of magic blow across the Mortal Realms, and in Hysh, the Lumineth Realm-lords and the Disciples of Tzeentch battle for supremacy with arcane sorcery.
Arcane Cataclysm is a new battlebox for Warhammer Age of Sigmar in which the Changer of the Ways seeks magical items buried in the wastelands of Hysh. Inside the box, you’ll find 55 finely detailed Citadel miniatures – perfect for starting new armies or adding to existing ones. There are also new battleplans and rules to play out the epic confrontation between these two ancient enemies.
As you’ve come to expect from battleboxes, Arcane Cataclysm contains some brand-new miniatures. The eagle-eyed among you may have noticed the points values for the Scinari Enlightener in the recent Warhammer Age of Sigmar updates. Now, you can get your first glimpse of this powerful mage that uses the symmetry and symbolism of Hysh as a weapon.
Did anyone else's Monday just rocket by? Mine did. And, last night, I actually went out to a build/paint gathering that a group of friends has every couple weeks at the LGS near me. Definitely need to make that a regular thing. Anyway, as fast as the week is going, we can still make it go a little faster with a podcast. Quick one today, but waddyagonnado? Everything this week is quick!
The D6 Generation Pip Episode 124: D&D Live Session 53: Deurgar at the gates
In which we find out how to properly welcome guests who knock on the door to your mine.
Who doesn't love a big, fancy, dress-up party? Well... me, technically... Fanciest thing I own is a kinda-nice shirt and some khakis. But I can still live vicariously through my tabletop minis. And that's where the new set for HeroClix comes in. It's the Marvel HeroClix: Marvel Hellfire Gala Premium Collection. These aren't just your standard HeroClix figures. You can pre-order your copy now.
From the website:
You are cordially invited to the Hellfire Gala! Host Emma Frost requests your presence on the evening of the Summer Solstice to strengthen the bonds between mutants and mankind at the party of the year. Celebrate mutant culture with a night of music, dancing, and the introduction of the new X-Men, heroes of Krakoa!
See the new X-Men team as you have never seen them before in the Marvel HeroClix: Marvel Hellfire Gala Premium Collection! Enjoy the pinnacle of mutant fashion represented on eight exquisitely detailed pre-painted figures that push the boundaries of HeroClix style. Fan-favorites Cyclops, Jean Grey, Emma Frost, Wolverine, Synch, Sunfire, Polaris and Rogue walk the red carpet with brand-new sculpts that make as much of a fashion statement as the Gala itself.
Each Marvel HeroClix: Marvel Hellfire Gala Premium Collection includes all eight limited edition figures presented together in a special collectible box that acts as both a stunning display and as your own personal invitation to experience the Hellfire Gala. These unique figures are some of the most detailed HeroClix ever released and make a fashionable addition to any collection.
Every detail of the Hellfire Gala has been planned with the guest in mind. As a result, in this premium set you will also find a limited-edition version of the Powers and Abilities Card as well as uniquely crafted Character Cards with a special look and feel that will bring the luxury of the Hellfire Gala to your table. With higher quality materials, magnificently detailed figures, and totally unique design this set is a can’t-miss for collectors!
It's hot outside (here in the northern hemisphere, anyway). Best to stay inside and play some games. And if you're playing anything from Mantic and looking to expand your collection, now's the time to do it as they've let Crazy Bobby out of his sealed room and he's brought prices down all over the Mantic webshop.
From the announcement:
It's been a while but Bobby's back and he's returned with a bumper crop of awesome discounts and craaaaaaazzzzzy bundles! The sale starts today and lasts until Monday, July 4th... or while stocks last.
Check out some of the awesome deals below!
As always with these previews, I instantly have a shredding guitar solo and colored explosions playing in my head. But waddyagonnado? It's the Power Rangers! The Time Force Ranger Pack is coming soon for Power Rangers: Heroes of the Grid and, in it, there's the Quantum Ranger. Want to know what he does? You can get a glimpse into the future with this preview.
From the preview:
Development on the Quantum Ranger started LONG before this pack even came up on the release schedule. I think he was bumped from the first AND second Ally Pack and very nearly was included in the Rangers United box. There was even a little easter egg of the Quantum Ranger sneaking his way into some of that expansion’s key art. Hinting at his future involvement.( Heh, future! Get it?)
Looking for a new class that's in touch with nature in the Iron Kingdoms? A regular Druid not quite doing it for you? Want something more setting-specific? Then you're in luck, because Privateer Press has released the Blackclad class stats for the Iron Kingdoms RPG. You can download your copy now.
From the article:
When it comes to the Iron Kingdoms, it’s no secret that our druids are built different. The blackclads of the Circle Orboros tend to do less “summoning of woodland allies” and more “call down bolts of lightning or hurl a boulder the size of a small sedan at your face”—at least, most of them do.
To that end, we’re rolling out the Blackclad class for Iron Kingdoms: Requiem. This class does all of the spellcasting you’d expect from the secret masters of the wilderness, dished out while wearing stylish black robes. With three Paths to choose from—the Path of Storms, the Path of Stone, and the Path of the Wayfarer—you’re able to take on the role of these enigmatic and manipulative masters for the first time in Requiem.
Games Workshop is excited to be releasing a giant addition to their paints line and they want to celebrate with you. They've announced their Paintathon event that you can join in from just about anywhere you might be.
From the article:
Over the past few weeks, we’ve talked about the exciting new range expansion coming to Citadel Colour – 25 new Contrast Paints, reformulated Shades, seven new colours and a brand new pure white spray!
The new paints are all coming to stores on the 16th of July, after a two-week pre-order period which begins this Saturday. To mark the occasion, we want to invite all Warhammer hobbyists, new and old, to join us for a special celebratory event!
We hope you can join us – it all culminates in a global online event on the 17th of July, with two weeks of special editions of Hangout and Hobby kicking off on the Warhammer Twitch channel next week. Check in with your local store, as they may be celebrating in tandem!
