I've got a lot of trees around my apartment and I'm often hearing bird calls that I don't recognize. I've often recorded them and sent them to my friend, PA, who does birdwatching. So, of course, as soon as I saw this game, I sent it his way. It's Birdwatcher - The Board Game. As one would expect, it's about watching birds and getting good photos of them.

From the campaign:

The campaign is up and over its funding goal with 14 days left to go.

I don't wear a lot of hats. Pretty much just when it's cold. But, honestly, I used to wear hats all the time. Unfortunately, I have a big head and so most don't fit me. But, I can still live vicariously by playing games like Hat Stack, a competitive card hat stacking game that's coming soon to Kickstarter.

About the game:

Hat Stack is a fast-paced, competitive stacking game for 2-4 players! Get ready to build the biggest stack of hats, and stay tuned for updates along the way!

Rival time travelers are trying to erase one-another from existence. That's what's happening in That Time You Killed Me from Pandasaurus Games. But you don't have to kill anyone (and seriously, PLEASE don't kill anyone) to win a copy for yourself. Find out how below.

From the website:

You and your opponent are rival time travelers trying to erase each other from history. To prove you are the one true inventor of time travel, you must use your invention to find your enemy in time and murder them - before they get you! Unfortunately, since your enemy has strewn many copies of themself across the timeline, you may have to do the terrible deed many, many times before it sticks. Just make sure you don't get erased first!

That Time You Killed Me is a narrative game that introduces new scenarios with unique rules and components as you play. As with any game about mucking about across time, you must play through this content in a strict, unalterable order. Play through 4 different Chapters, each with its own rules and components and increasing difficulty!

Pre-orders are open now and include a free envelope full of secret promos. Orders are expected to ship this winter… at some point across space and time!

Harrowdeep is just the beginning of the new season of Warhammer Underworlds. That means that Games Workshop has a lot more they're working on behind the scenes. But what, exactly, are those things and when can you expect them on store shelves? We get a little peek behind the curtain as we look at the roadmap for the next several quarters of releases for the game.

From the article:

Warhammer Underworlds: Harrowdeep is available to pre-order this weekend and it’s just the start of an amazing season for the ultimate competitive miniatures game. Today, we’re peering into our scrying apparatus to bring you a glimpse of what the future holds.

Harrowdeep is the largest core box for Warhammer Underworlds ever (take a look at what’s inside) and it contains two warbands in the form of Da Kunnin’ Krew and Xandire’s Truthseekers. It won’t be long until you can expand your experience even further with extra warbands. The studio has plenty planned – including lots we can’t yet reveal, but what we do have is a road map for what’s to come in season five of Warhammer Underworlds.

Pathfinder Arena is the new minis game based in the Pathfinder world where players take their heroes and have them fight it out in front of the crowds. Paizo will be bringing the game to Kickstarter November 23rd. They've also posted up a trailer video you can check out.

From the website:

Pathfinder Arena is coming to Kickstarter on November 23rd at 10 AM EST.

You will take the role of one of the iconic heroes of Pathfinder, trapped in a magical entity calling itself the “Arena”. The entity poses a challenge to the party: select a champion to claim the right to escape from it.

Old friends become opponents, and you are suddenly forced to compete against them! Dreadful monsters are summoned in an increasingly difficult challenge. Claim glory points by defeating monsters or by unleashing their wrath on your opponents. Players can constantly modify the Arena, pushing and rotating tiles to reach unexplored areas or to trigger a monster’s attack against other heroes. Each hero has asymmetric abilities and a tailor-made deck from which you can draft items and abilities.

Heroes level up during the game by picking up tokens in the Arena to enhance their abilities and access to their deck. The cards’ drafting and the choice of which ability prioritize develop different strategies in the Arena and make each hero unique.
