The release date for Monsterpocalypse has been pushed back from the 21st of September to October 5th. The reason being is that the container containing the game has been held up in Customs. That just sometimes happens. At least it's not too long of a delay, just a couple weeks. Then you'll get your building-stomping action on.
The Kings of War world is getting a new addition. Vanguard, the skirmish variant of the game, is now available for pre-order. Mantic's posted up a blog talking about this new version of the game, as well as some further details about using your Kings of War figures in it, and some info about what's needed to play. Take a look for yourself.
When you want to make a game as clean as possible, you gotta make sure all the strange grey areas in the rules are worked out. Having a development team can help, but in the end, they'll only find so much. Having more eyes on a project means more things will be found. That's why Strategic Elite is running a global playtest for their The Sword Marches skirmish game.
The creatures on the other side of reality are coming. Via arcane artifacts and strange rituals, the fabric of creation is being torn and they're making their way to come ensure insanity and destruction upon us all. That is, unless some intrepid heroes stop them. That's the story in Arkham Horror, the 3rd edition of which is coming. In this preview, we get a look at how Actions for the Investigators will work.

When the Scorpius system was first colonized 100 years ago, those that came to the new system thought that they would be the start of a new and free society, better than any that had come before. However, the government has decided that only they know best, and so control every aspect of people's lives. However, rebellion is growing from within. That's where you find yourself in Scorpius Freighter, a new game coming from AEG. Pre-orders are being taken now for those that want to pick up the game at Essen.
Killing the enemy at range goes a long way to winning a conflict. If you can get to your opponent and they can't get to you, it's going to tip all the balance in your favor. And while the demon legions love to get in there close and personal and really rip enemies to shreds, they also will employ bowmen to thin enemy ranks from a distance. In this preview for Runewars, we get a look at the Viper Legion.
The Fisherman's Guild is my guild of choice in Guild Ball. I love them because they're a pure goal-scoring team. There's dozens of good skirmish wargames out there, but extremely few good sports games out there. So that's what drew me to Guild Ball in the first place. So, when I see that the team is getting revamped, along with the game as a whole, I get naturally nervous. I love how they work now. What could be changed? Well, we get our first look at how they'll operate in Season 4 with a look at Veteran Siren.
Those British are sneaky. After posting yesterday, they flew in under the radar and added another couple pre-orders to their lineup in Blood Red Skies. Take a look for yourself.
While most iconically riding around on their Speeder Bikes, the Scout Troopers in Star Wars are just as capable on foot, infiltrating enemy positions, scouting enemy formations, and taking out vital targets at range with precision accuracy. In this preview for Star Wars: Legion, we get a look at the Scout Trooper unit and what various things they bring to your games.
Biology is the study of living things. There's life all around us in its strange and complicated forms. When creating your own worlds, getting the biology just right can be tricky. In Biology for Fantasy Settings from Skirmisher Publishing, they give you guides on how to make plants and animals that are your own creation, but also fit in with biologic principles. You can get your copy now.
When there's foes to fight, you want the best of the best. In this case, you want Super-Squirrel and Trash Panda. Why? ... Well, why not? o2media will be bringing these fellows to tabletops soon, and they wanted to show off the masters for the figures they'll be producing.
Summon creatures. Acquire worshippers. Battle your opponents using powerful spells. That's what you'll be doing in Dice Summoners, a new card and dice game from Decking Awesome Games. They've launched a Kickstarter campaign in order to fund the game. Hvae a look-see for yourself.
The Hunger Games were a cultural phenomenon. Now, it'll be coming to tabletops thanks to River Horse. They're working on a board game inspired by The Hunger Games: Mockingjay. In this preview, we get a look at President Snow's figure, as well as a little insight into how he'll work in the game.
Well, it's Monday once again. I can't really say I'm all that thrilled about it. But waddyagonnado? I can't speed up time or alter the harvest (though, entirely tangentially, I had some just-picked Honeycrisp apples this weekend that were (censored) amazing. So that harvest is going well). Anyway, seeing as it's Monday, let's get you a new crop of terrain stories.
Today in the Terrain Corner we have: Lady Dragon Running RPG Mat Kickstarter, New Line of 15mm Terrain is available at Crescent Root Studio, and Hive City Cathedral Available From Tabletop Scenics.
