A new set for Test of Honour is available to pre-order from Warlord Games. In this case, it's a set of seven ronin. For those that don't know, ronin were masterless samurai who traveled around the countryside, helping those in need. They're also the only people I know of who made the man-bun hairstyle look good. Anyway, you can get your orders in now so that these seven samurai don't walk past your door.
Normally, in an RPG, you work your character around the rules of the game to create what you want. Nomnivore Games thought that was kinda silly. So, instead, they created a game system that builds the rules around what you want to do with your character. That's where Emberwind comes in, it's their new system and it's up on Kickstarter now.
Black Mirror is this generation's Twilight Zone. It gives us worlds that seem pretty normal, but then there's always something sinister lurking just below the surface. In the episode Nosedive, people look to create a perfect social life while avoiding "dings" to their reputation. Now, Asmodee will be releasing a card game that mimics the episode. The game will be exclusive to Target stores and Target.com, with the game hitting shelves on the 25th.
When you can't find anyone else to game with, you'd think that'd mean your luck's out. But such does not have to be the case when you've got Red Menace, a new solo military strategy game all about the nuclear back-and-forth during the late 50s. Take on the role of the Americans, Canadians, and British as they square off against the Russians. Everyone's got their nuclear arsenal, and only one set will be standing at the end. You can get your copy now.
Fridaaaaaaaay!
I know that I just got back into the regular swing of things again, but I'm already ready to just take a couple days off. My weekend will be spent gaming, but of the video variety. Hey, I'm allowed. But while I crunch those 1s and 0s, I'll be needing to snack, and having some bite-sized gaming stories in my tummy will be awesome.
Today on the platter we have: The Mighty Exo-Armoured Dwarves 28mm scale miniatures up On Kickstarter, Lizard City Bases Now Available From Tabletop-Art, Ophidian Menace Fantasy Miniatures Up On Kickstarter, Baueda Releases New 15mm Forest Bases, Riders of the Storm Fantasy Miniatures Up On Kickstarter, and Kraken Dice Releasing Kelpie Dice This Evening.
You can never have enough spells. I'm often using spellcasting classes in my RPGs, and it always seems like there's never quite the one I want available. I've got a certain thought in mind in what type of magic I want them to use, and I often can't find what I want. Well, for those playing Shadow of the Demon Lord and wanting to find "just the right spell," you'll want to check out Occult Philosophy. It's bringing 800 new spells to the game. The book is up on Kickstarter now.
AntiMatter Games is making sure that you're ready for Black Friday next week. They've posted up the details for their sale, which is pretty simple. Use the coupon code and get 30% off your order. It's nice when they're easy like that.

The glittering white city, Minas Tirith, has many who protect it from all foes. In this set, Húrin and Ingold can be added to your ranks. The forces of Mordor will have their work cut out for them when such stalwart warriors take the field. The Wardens of Gondor set includes 3 figures, and can be ordered now over on the Forge World site.
KeyForge, Fantasy Flight's new card game where each and every single deck is unique, is now available. You may not know what you're going to get, but I have to say, there's been some awesome names of decks out there. Personally, I would love to play The Woman who Headbutts Sharks. Go get your Archon on, and pick up your sets now.
We think that it's only just recently that politics have gotten really nasty. Such is not the case, as the smear campaign goes back hundreds of years. There's a long tradition of not necessarily trying to bolster yourself as much as you're trying to make the other candidate look horrible. That's what you'll be doing in Revolution of 1828, a new game announced by Renegade Game Studios.
Every year, Wyrd has themselves quite a sale for Black Friday. And this year will be no different. From November 21st until December 2nd, they're going to be opening the floodgates and giving you a chance to get some minis for cheaper than usual. More than that, they'll have limited quantities on special miniatures you can't even usually get. They've posted up a preview so you can get your list ready.
In deep space, many conflicts will be between opposing troops on their ships. Much like the ancient Greeks fought out in the Mediterranean, so will it be as boarding parties rush over to the other vessel, dealing death in the confines and tight quarters of the enemy ship. That's what you'll be doing in Vanguard, a new sci-fi miniatures skirmish game that takes place within the Traveller universe. The game is up on Kickstarter now.
Most fantasy RPGs have you running around as heroes looking to do good deeds in the world. Save the prisoners, overthrow the evil tyrant, stop the necromancer... that kind of thing. In Forbidden Lands, it's much less heroic wargaming as it is trying to scratch out a living in a world that obviously does not want you to survive. The new fantasy RPG will be coming to Kickstarter this December.
Just about back to normal, everyone. Well, at least, as "normal" as we get around here. One thing that's nice is that the weekend is almost here. And weekends mean gaming. And gaming often means terrain. So, let's get your terrain game upped with some awesome stuff.
