Join up with your favorite house, head through the halls of Hogwards, overcome obstacles and defeat monsters, and get yourself to the head of the class. That's what you'll be doing in the latest Munchkin release from Steve Jackson Games, this time skinned (figuratively, not literally) in Harry Potter. You can pick up your copies now.
The year is coming to an end, but there's always time to look ahead to what will be coming out next year. In this case, not just January or February, but way into March, as Privateer Press gives us a look at some of the releases they've got planned for both Warmachine as well as Monsterpocalypse.
The folks over at Happy Games Factory have launched a quick turn-around Kickstarter campaign for some new miniatures for their Eden miniatures game. The first set is the City of Sagaar. They're a whole new faction for the game, representing where the game's come since its creation. Then there's the Snowmen, who are just holiday fun, through and through.
Tuesday.
It's Tuesday.
... Tuuuuuuuuuuesday...
Yeah, apparently, I got nothin'. So let's just get to the podcasts.

Mantic has released their new game based on The Walking Dead series. It's called Here's Negan and it puts players in the role of henchmen in his organization, looking to do evil deeds, and gain reputation with the big baddie himself. Just watch out, as your opponents will be looking to cut you down to size if ever given the opportunity.
Many WWII games just tell you what sort of equipment was used in a battle and off you go. However, Ostfront's Shipyard actually lets you construct different ships to take into combat. Using the special construction rules, you can create your own fleet from scratch and set sail for the high seas. You can get your copy now.
Gaming is fun. But gaming can also be rather educational. The Serious Play Events board wants to reward those games that go above and beyond just being mere passtimes and turn into actually educational experiences. They're taking entries now for their Learing Board Games Awards.
Lots of new releases up on Knight Model's website for you to check out, available now for pre-order. There's a couple kits for the Harry Potter Miniatures Adventure Game, as well as the DC Universe Miniatures Game. So, if you want some wand-waving action, or some superhero stomping, they've got you covered.
A pair of linked books have been announced for the Legend of the Five Rings RPG. As the days get shorter, the shadows get longer. Head into the Shadowlands with the new sourcebook. Then, while there, take on the vicious Oni in the Mask of the Oni adventure.
In Ponyfinder, you can be a pony of various types (as one would expect). You can be a full flesh-and-blood pony. Or, you can be a mechanical one. However, with Bit N Bolt, you can now be the bionic pony that you've always wanted.
Groovy.
Whether it's waiting for friends to show up for game, or on your lunch break at work, or at a doctor's office, or wherever, you can fill up your day with gaming by grabbing a great gaming magazine. And Issue 26 of The Campaigner is now available for your reading pleasure.
It feels like it's really been a while since we've gotten an ancient warfare miniatures release on here. That changes with the release of Storm of Spears, a new set of miniatures rules for playing games set in 431-360BC. Grab your round shield, your pike, and your helmet, and hit the field shoulder-to-shoulder with your brothers in arms.
After a successful Kickstarter campaign and sending pledges out to backers, River Horse is happy to release their Highlander board game. Based on the popular series, the Highlander board game has players participating in the game, where in the end, there can be only one. Grab your sword of choice and fire up the Queen.
It's getting towards the end of the year, and kinda in a doldrums in terms of too many news announcements. I'm sure you've noticed the slight slowdown. That's not a sign that I'm giving out, mind you. Still plenty to talk about, but a lower volume. For example, we've got a pretty short Terrain Corner for you today, with just one entry.
Remember, if you see a new story you'd like me to cover here on TGN, feel free to use the Submit News form and let me know about it. It's not just for the designers/makers themselves. I gladly listen to tips brought in by you. Or, if there's a company you'd like to see get their stories on the site, and be one that I should be watching, lemme know. I'm just one bear in the huge sea of gaming!
But anyway, today in the Terrain Corner we have: Hel Planet Game Mat Available From Loke Battlemats.
Cruel Seas players are getting more ships coming in the new year. Warlord Games is showing off both a Russian and an Italian fleet that will be hitting stores in January 2019.
