Seeing as the elves are getting a new Battletome as well as a new Blood Bowl team, it seems only fitting that Forge World would be taking orders for a new Dryad Star Player. And that's what we've got here. It's Willow Rosebark. Thankfully, she's faster than your average tree running through a field.

A new pair of combatants will be making their way to the arena in Aristeia. Corvus Belli has announced Reckless Hearts, the next expansion for their high-action sci-fi gladiator sports game. Axl Steel and Hippolyta will certainly get the crowd going.

And we've made it back around to Monday. I had a nice, restful, relaxing weekend. Considering that Gen Con isn't all that far away, I need to get in as many of those as I can between now and then. We also can use to get your gaming tables looking good. So, let's do that.

Today in the Terrain Corner we have: Bugs: Into the Tunnels Available From Acheson Creations, New Infinity Terrain From TTCombat, and Wastelang Game Mat Available From Pwork Wargame.

Making an entire game world on your own is tough. There's a million little details to figure out. Why not leave that up to someone else? That's what The Kaldori Project has done. It's a new setting book that includes maps, towns, cities, new creatures, new classes, and whole new quests for your games of Dungeons & Dragons. You can back this new book on Kickstarter now.

The next wave of X-Wing figures is available from Fantasy Flight. They're still catching up, bringing some older ships to 2nd Edition, such as the Millennium Falcon and TIE Silencer, but there's also new ships such as the Naboo Fighter, the Hyena-Class Bomber, and the Resistance Transport.

Getting into the gaming industry was something I worked at for a very long time before making it. I know many of you are probably the same, looking for your chance. Well, Privateer Press is currently hiring for some entry-level positions in their production and warehouse team. You never know, you might start there and end up being the CEO of the next big gaming company. Why not take a look?

The Houses in Westeros are at war. And, really, it's not just the great Houses, but pretty much everyone, as we can see from this new set of releases for the A Song of Ice and Fire: Tabletop Miniatures Game from CMON. The Night's Watch are taking to the field with their Ranger Trackers while the Free Folk counter with their Followers of Bone. Both sets are available now.

I know, a really generic headline, but when it comes to typing out all the different things that are available to pre-order this week from Games Workshop, it'd either be a really short headline that gets you to read on, or a large amount of the story would just be up in said headline. Anyway, Games Workshop has a ton of stuff up for pre-order right now. Arguably, the two biggest are the new Battletome: Sylvaneth and Scouring of the Shire books for Age of Sigmar and the Middle-arth Strategy Battle Game, respectively. There's also new figures for both those games, a new elven Blood Bowl team, new sets for Adeptus Titanicus, 40k, and pretty much everything else you can think of. There's terrain. There's dice. There's... I mean, I told you it was a lot of stuff.

You've played the miniatures game. Soon, you'll be able to create your own character and dive headlong into the realm of Mantic's Kings of War miniatures game, as Red Scar Publishing has announced that they've partnered with Mantic to create an RPG of the popular minis game. The Kings of War RPG will come to Kickstarter next month.

For those of you Barsoom fans, there's a couple of new releases for the John Carter of Mars RPG available now over on the Modiphius website. There's the Player's Guide (incredibly handy, that), the Heroes of Helium Miniatures, for representing your characters on the tabletop, the Character and Token Card Deck (for even more representation on the table), and finally the Landscap and Location card deck, to make sure you've got some varried terrain while you're gaming.

I'd had several Choose Your Own Adventure books when I was a kid. I really enjoyed them and I'm happy to see them making a resurgence now. Z-Man Games is coming out with a new one soon called War With the Evil Power Master! While such books are only enhanced by being surprised by every page turn, Z-Man is still showing off a little bit of what you can expect in this new edition to the genre.

Conan is coming to your tabletops in an all-new game from S7 Games. They have announced Conan: Savage Legends. Players will gather their forces, constructed around one of the famous characters, heroes and villains alike, of the Hyborian Age, and must battle as they seek out relics of truly awesome power. The game is coming to Kickstarter next week.

It's Friday! Woo! Gateway to the weekend. Of course, I'm excited, because that's how I am on Fridays. The work week is almost over and it's time to relax. But first, we need to nosh on a couple of bite-sized gaming stories.

Today on the platter we have: The Game Master Kit Collection: Reloaded Up On Kickstarter and Fenris Games Running The Cauldron Warband Kickstarter.

When you want to fill your day with gaming information, a gaming magazine is a great way to do it. In this instance, we have the amazing (and always free) Game Nite. Issue 38 is now available for your downloading and reading pleasure, and it's filled with interviews, reviews, news, and more about everything that's going on in the gaming industry.

With Oblivion's release getting closer by the moment, players are wondering how their favorite theme forces will be changing. In this preview, we head to the Trollkin villages and see how these mighty Dhunians are shaping up. Check out the changes to the Kriel Company lists.

The launch of Pathfinder 2nd Edition is Paizo's biggest release of the year, and we're getting ever-closer to its release. In the time that's left before it gets to store shelves, Paizo has set up a Twitch channel and will be broadcasting previews, interviews, and more about this exciting update to many people's favorite RPG. They've given us a schedule so we can all know when to tune in.

It's a Two-Fer Friday in X-Wing announcements from Fantasy Flight. Starting off, they are bringing back the huge ships to the game, offering an upgrade kit for those that already have them, or simply reissuing them for those that don't. Then, for those that have a million ships and want to use them all together at once, they are also adding in Epic Battles, taking the game from a skirmish game to a more mass-army type of game with new formations and larger point values.

Look, I know the theme song is probably already stuck in your head just because of the title and the image of the box there. I won't make it any worse. I promise. Anyway, USAopoly has announced another version of Munchkin that they'll be coming out with. It's heading to Duckburg. They've announced Munchkin: DuckTales.

Witchfinder Pulsipher... I mean, Lew Pulsipher's Britannia has been enjoyed by thousands of gamers over the years. If you've never had a chance to give it a try, this might be your chance. The classic game is up on Kickstarter now. And for those of you who would prefer a 2-player version of the game, there's an updated version of the rules letting you duel it out with your opponent.

No, Renegade Game Studios isn't changing to become a trendy tea place down on the corner. Bubble Tea is their new game. However, you can certainly enjoy a bubble tea while playing Bubble Tea. You can go pick up your copy now.

Tomorrow, the 4th wave for the X-Wing Miniatures Game 2nd Edition hits shelves. It includes a trio of new ships for the new factions the Separatists, the Old Republic, and the Resistance. But what will these new ships be bringing to the table and why did the designers make them that way? You get answers to that in this Design Diary preview.

The Neutral Zone is supposed to be a space for everyone. But conflicts certainly happen there. While nobody truly controls it, various factions want it, and that's what you'll be looking to do in Star Trek: Conflick in the Neutral Zone. This dexterity-based game will have you flicking your ships around the board, looking to knock out your enemies. You can pick up your copies now.

Thursday? The week continues to quickly go by. Again, not a complaint. Gets me back to the weekend. Not entirely sure what I'll be up to. Maybe painting. We'll see. In the meantime, we need to get your gaming tables looking good.

Today in the Terrain Corner we have: 15mm Drop Pods and Coffins Available From Alternative Armies, Imperial Pedistal Available From Bits of War, and Mushrooms Set 1 Available From Tabletop-Art.

Quirky Circuits is filled with all types of strange robots. In this instance, we get a look at Twirl, the house's gardener. You can find him flitting around the garden, planting seeds and doing general gardening work. Just make sure he drops off his items in the right place, lest things get crazy.

<whoop whoop whoop>

Giant robot alert! We have giant robot alert! (someday I want to turn that into a T-shirt) Anyway, today we've got some more giant robots to show off, and they're rather nostalgic robots for me, in-particular, since we're headed to the world of BattleTech and Mechwarrior. Catalyst Game Labs is showing off the contents of the upcoming Clan Invasion box, headed to Kickstarter next week.
