Hey, I don’t know if you noticed, but there’s a lot of games and game products that are funded via Kickstarter. You know, it’s funny, when I first started on TGN over 7 years ago, I remember Ross and I having a conversation that was, “So… these Kickstarter things… what are we supposed to do…
Augusta Universalis is a sci-fi RPG that takes a fantastical look at what would’ve happened if the Roman Empire hadn’t just not fallen, but actually thrived and became super advanced in science and technology, reaching out into the stars and colonizing other worlds the way it did with land around the Mediterranean. But not everything…
You’re just hanging out with your buddies at work. You’ve got things going well. When some group of murder-hobos come in and start stabbing everyone! How rude! Sure, you might be a minion of an evil entity, but still, that’s just mean. Best to create a good defense. That’s what you’ll be doing in For…

They are coming out with a The Dark Knight Rises starter box for their Batman Miniatures Game. They’re showing off the contents, if you wanted to have a…
I think all of us wish we could control time. We could speed up the things we don’t want to do and slow down the things we’re enjoying. You could even bounce around to different places in time. And that’s what you’ll do in Time Chase, in a way. It’s a trick-taking game where you…
Far-out. Groovy. Let’s head on down to the disco, daddio. And other mostly-inaccurate slang terms. Days of Wonder has announced a new Ticket to Ride game. This time, it’s London in the 1970s. Instead of trains, players will be looking to create routes of the famous double-decker busses to the most iconic locations around town….

I remember when the Altered Carbon show came out on Netflix. It seemed to get rather universal praise from my friends. So, I know they’re thrilled with the announcement that they’ll soon be able to dive headlong into that universe, as Hunters Entertainment has announced a licensing agreement with Skydance Media to create the Altered…
When you’re the GM, you’ve gotta come up with everything else in the world that doesn’t consist of the party memebers. That’s tough. There’s guides out there that can help you with NPCs in the world. But they give you, what? 20? 30? Maybe 100 characters? That’s nothing. The Ultimate Character Compendium gives you over…
I’m not entirely sure how effective a giant bloated slug-thing would be in a game of Blood Bowl. Seems like it wouldn’t really be able to keep up with the action all too well. But that’s for you to work out on the pitch. A new Nurgle team, including a new Rotspawn, is available to…
You’ve played Gloom. You’ve watched Game of Thrones. You’ve probably thought about how, with all the tragedy in the show (or book series, I know you’re out there, too), that it’d make a great base for a Gloom set. Well, next week, you’ll be getting just that. Or, at least, the Kickstarter for just that,…
Fantasy Flight is coming at you with a new, free adventure for you to try out. Those that have picked up Shadow of the Beanstalk, their latest cyberpunk book set in the Android universe, can grab yourself Night on the Town. And, I mean, who doesn’t love a night on the town, anyway? From the…
The latest set for Pathfinder Battles, Ruins of Lastwall, is now available. Whenever I’m playing an RPG, I like to have the right figures out there to represent what I’m playing/fighting.

There’s…
Coming up with a world as a GM is really tough. There’s about a million things to try and figure out, and it can all get very complex very fast. It’s much easier to leave that to someone else and then bask in their creativity as you take your adventurers around. Welcome to Tikor is…
I can only speak and read English. Unfortunately, that means that I miss out on a lot of potentially really cool games out there. Thankfully, game companies often step in to help.

Monte Cook Games is looking to bring some giant robots to your fantasy RPG games, and I’m 100% ok with that.

From the campaign: In the misty recesses of time, before the kingdoms and…

Calling national emergencies to suddenly gain and retain power and impose their agenda on the masses without the need to go through the regular bureaucratic streams.

It’s a whole host of figures, along with a 6-scenario campaign you…

I know we don’t usually cover Magic: The Gathering or other CCGs/LCGs here on TGN, but when the story is this big, it’s worth mentioning. Wizards of the Coast has decided that they will no longer have an MSRP for Magic: The Gathering cards. From the announcement: Starting with War of the Spark and moving…
