War is a collection of battles. And battles are often a collection of skirmishes, played out in the form of a multitude of smaller dramas between fighters. In Limbo: Eternal War, the forces of man and demon have been fighting seemingly forever. But both sides still feel victory is within their grasp. Which faction will you back in bringing this conflict to an end? The skirmish miniatures game is up on Kickstarter now.
85! 75! 42! Omaha! Hike!
The American Football Season is about to get underway, and that means it's time to break out the pitch and play some fantasy football, too. And if you're looking for a new team, you should check out Warploque Miniatures' The Ram Raiders Halfling Team that's up on Kickstarter now.
You've heard of Spring Cleaning, but Warlord Games is having themselves a Summer Cleaning Clearance Sale. Want a bunch of toy soldiers for a lot less than you'd usually spend? Head on over and get yourself some new figures to work on in this heat, and have them ready for the cool of Autumn and the cold of Winter.
Runewars continues to soldier on, what with getting new soldier minis at a fairly regular basis. In this preview, we get a look at a new hero for the human faction. It's Baron Zachareth of Carthridge, and he hates walking into battle, so he got himself a golem bull to ride in on. Can't say that's a bad choice, really.
Usually, you're part of an adventuring party. You go out, kill some monsters, then come back to town to spend your money and relax for a while. But what about those towns? They have mayors, and all are competing for that sweet, sweet loot. One might have better shops, but another has better taverns, or there's the one with the nicer clerics in the local chapel. Which one will the adventurers go to? That's up to you to fight over in Hero's Crossing. The game was successfully Kickstarted, and is now ready for general release.
When you get a new game, obviously you need to learn how to play it. However, not all rulebooks are created equally, and not everyone learns simply by reading the rules on a page. That's where Dized comes in. It teaches you the game in a simple, intuitive manner that takes all the guesswork out of things. It's like having someone there who already knows how to play. Their early access is now available. They've also announced a Kickstarter campaign to expand the range of games on the app.
Every team in Guild Ball has at least 1 "big guy." Usually on a 40mm base. Good defenses. Good HP total. Can usually dish out a bit of damage. For the Navigator's Guild, that's Azimuth. While the team as a whole might be about maneuvering, Azimuth is there to hit people. Sure, there's still some movement shenanigans to be found, but he's ready to smack people around for the team.
There's not one new release available for Symbaroum from Modiphius. Oh no. Not even two. There's three. And it's a good mix of everything. You have Adventure Pack 3, which is filled with, well, adventure. Then, there's the Monster Codex, with lots of stuff you can throw at your players (literally, don't actually throw the book at them). Then there's the Monsters & Trais Cards, to help you keep track of things without having to flip through pages all the time.
Halfway done. We're halfway done with the week. If we've made it this far, we can make it to the weekend. So, while I listen to some Joy Division, let's also snack on some bite-sized gaming stories.
Today on the platter we have: Acheson Creations' American Frontier Miniatures on Sale Through the 31st, The Necronomnomnom - A Cookbook of Eldritch Horror Available For Pre-order, Next Wave of Minis Available From Y.F.T. Studio, Through Gamer Goggles Gen Con Videos Posted, Kraken Dice Adds New Metal Dice To Collection, and Bespoke Dice Rolling Trays by EmbroiderWood Up On Kickstarter.

Tabletop Ready is a new website that looks to increase your miniatures game abilities. It's going to be filled with all sorts of resources such as battle reports, painting tutorials, and exclusive content from game creators and players. They've got a special deal going on for the first people signing up, calling them Founding Members and offering special pricing and swag. But sign up quick, the deal won't last forever.
It's been a little bit since we've heard from Wyrd. They had a lot going on with Gen Con, and really pulled out all the stops for the show. But now they're back home and it's time to focus back in on the rest of the year. That includes continuing along with production towards the new edition of Malifaux. To get everyone caught up on what's going on, they've posted their August newsletter.
Dune.
Frank Herbert's tale of interstellar politics, strange weapons, and even stranger creatures has been seen in movies, books, toys, and even cooking shows (go watch the Punch episode of Good Eats). But soon, Gale Force 9 will be bringing entirely new versions of the series to you in the form of new tabletop games, including both miniatures and board games.
Go! Go! Power Rangers!
While I didn't watch the show, that theme song was pretty kick ass. For those that are getting hit right in the nostalgic zone, you can relive those days of saving Angel Grove by joining in, yourself. If you've always wanted to be a Power Ranger, here's your chance with the Power Rangers: Heroes of the Grid board game. Renegade Game Studios has launched their Kickstarter campaign and it's rolling now.
Whenever a game comes out, there's a lot of gamers that go, "Yeah, that's awesome, but can we get some more?" Because gamers are like Oliver Twist. Well, Plaid Hat Games isn't some stingy lunchroom server/guard. They're happy to give you some more. They've announced Uprising, a new expansion hero pack for Guardians.
One of the books that Wizards of the Coast announced that caused a lot of stir was the Guildmaster's Guide to Ravnica, as the worlds of Dungeons & Dragons and Magic: The Gathering were clashing together. The world of Ravnica has many diverse races, and WotC is looking to make sure their stats are right. So they're looking for your help. They've posted an Unearthed Arcana with the races for you to check out and give feedback on.
