Saturday! Woo!

I know some of my friends are down at AWA downtown. I'm currently safely at home, grooving to some Sims 4 while I wait for this evening's D&D session. Gotta go take care of that Strahd murder house, y'all! But I know what you are here for are the reviews I know you so desperately desire. So let's get to it.

Today we have: Super Mario Bros. Party Card Game, Snow Time, D100 Dungeon, Tower of Madness, The Deck of Many Animated Spells, Kariba, Deities Domination, Seal Team Flix, Nanty Narking, Brass, Yellow & Yangtze, Menara, and Quests of Valeria.

Season 4 of Guild Ball is just around the corner. How just around the corner? Well, Steamforged has started taking pre-orders for a new deck of cards that will contain the stat cards for all the players currently in the game, up to and including the Falconer's Guild. If you're looking for a quick way to get all the updated cards at once, this is your chance.

A pair of new games are soon hitting tabletops all over as players pick up a pair of releases from RoosterFin. Rabbit Pirates and Might Pig Tug are family-friendly tiles that are easy to teach and learn. Along with the new releases, RoosterFin has started doing regular live sessions over on the Facebook page talking about not just their games, but all aspects of gaming. Be sure to check those out, too.

For those that wanted to get into Punkapocalyptic and maybe didn't know what crew you wanted to run with, there's a new one on the block. Or maybe you already play and still want to try out something new. Now's your chance. The V Reich starter set is now available.

Finally... Finally, the temperature is starting to go down. Monday is supposed to be 10 degrees cooler than today. And by then, we'll have more night than day. The season of scaring will be here. And Fantasy Flight is ready to celebrate with their Arkham Nights event. It's all things horror and Lovecraft.

Happy freakin' Friday and stuff.

That's how we greet each other here at the office (though that version above might be cleaned up some). Seeing as it's Friday, I hope you've got some cool weekend plans. Some of my friends are headed up to another friend's mancave-gamer-basement-of-doom. I've got a spoopy D&D game (just because it's not actually October doesn't mean you can't start the spoop early). And so, if it's not too early for tricks and treats, lets treat ourselves to some bite-sized gaming stories.

Today on the platter we have: WizKids Releases New Magic: The Gathering Token Miniatures, Dungeonfog Releases Dynamic Lighting System, and New Pulp Alley Releases Available From Sally 4th.

I love a good Kickstarter success story. Get up on the platform, successfully fund, follow-through with making the product, sending out to backers, and then getting the product on store shelves for everyone to enjoy. That's where Crimson Company is at. You can pick up your copies now.

Sometimes you just need some extra cash. Just a few bucks to get you by. So, you head into a bank and you rob it. You know, as you do. At least, that's what you'll be doing in Happy Heist, a new bank-robbing card game that's up on Kickstarter now.

Kinda two ends of the spectrum for this week's Warlord Games releases. On the one side, we've got some new Beyond the Gates of Antares releases, including the new Boromite Rock Brood, which I think are just insanely cute. On the other side, we've got new Hail Caesar releases which include new Norman and Viking leadership packs.

In any army, there's going to be those that stand out from the rest. In Runewars, they're the heroes. Two new ones are available now. They're the vampiric Lord Vorun'thul and the stone-bull-riding Baron Zachareth.

The white towers of Gondor are home to some of the best fighters in all of Middle-earth. The Swan Knights of Dol Amroth are Gondor's greatest warriors. For those playing the Middle-earth Strategy Battle Game, you can add these paragons of virtue and fighting prowess to your army by pre-ordering them from Forge World now.

When there's a mystery to be solved, don't go to the police, just find a group of young teens on bikes riding around the neighborhood. They're your best bet to figure out what's going on. And that's what you'll be doing in Kids on Bikes, the new horror RPG from Renegade Game Studios, available now.

Long-time readers know that next to giant robots, my favorite thing is dragons. As far as I'm concerned, they shoul be a bigger part of most adventures. Well, with the Legendary Dragons supplement that's up on Kickstarter now for 5th Edition, that can much more easily happen.

Every day, technology is making our regular world a bit more spectacular. Take your average card game. It can have some cool art and all, but add in a special app, and the same game can become an Augmented Reality adventure. That's what you have in TrikyTrail, a new card game that'll take you all over the world and back again. It's up on Kickstarter now.

The setting of KeyForge is an interesting one. You've got this world where just about anything can happen. The various Houses mix and meld together, sometimes swapping members. There's a lot of chaos and randomness going on. And nothing is taken all too seriously. In this preview, Fantasy Flight shows off this zany place.
