Dog Might Games

As good as any game developer and designer might be, their game won't end up working without some good playtesting of it. Rules might look good on paper, but it's only once you've got a bunch of eyes reading them and hands trying them out that you'll see whether they really work or not. Dog Might Games wants their games to work, and as such, they're putting a call out for playtesters.

My favorite day of the week, as I can just sit back, relax, and do some gaming.
Nevermind that this week I'm vacuuming, dusting, and cleaning countertops in the den. That's important, too.

While you may think that Dog Might Games only does gaming stuff, they're also a world-leader in bio-medical research. In the OR, their doctors work tirelessly, and they're looking for a new Operations Assistant to... *gets handed a note*
Oh, it has come to my attention that Dog Might does not actually perform medical experiments and "Operations Assistant" is actually someone who deals with logistics, sales, and customer service. ... Alright then... They're still looking for one.

Games don't just form, fully-created from the minds of designers. They have to go through rigorous playtesting before they can make their way to your game tables. Dog Might Games is looking for players out there who will help them make sure that their games are all that they can be. Send in your application and you might be testing out the latest and greatest.

Wow, Wednesday already? This week's just rolling by. Not that I mind that, of course. I've got some D&D coming up this weekend, so you know that I'm stoked. So, here's to hoping that the rest of the week jogs by quickly, too. But if we're gonna be jogging, we're gonna be burning up energy. If we're gonna be burning up energy, we need to replace it. If we're gonna replace it, we should nosh on some bite-sized gaming stories.

Today on the platter we have: Brigade Models release 28mm Boy Scouts, Shadows in the Void Esh-Aven Protectorate Miniatures Arrive at PicoArmor, Statuesque Miniatures Release Heroic Scale Female Heads Narrow - Veterans on sale and restocks at 10% off, The Dragon Empire Army Coming to Titan Forge Soon, and Artifact Dice From Dog Might Games Up On Kickstarter.

It's Half-Priced Chocolate Eve!

On the platter today we have: Kraken Dice Valentine Day Sale Happening Now, New 28mm WWII Jerrycans from Baueda Wargames, The Game Master System by Dog Might On Kickstarter, and Board Buddies Game-Finder App Up On Kickstarter.

I've got my 80s playlist going on Pandora here today. Oingo Boingo. The Police. Genesis. It's all good stuff. And a perfectly fitting soundtrack for this story. Dog Might Games has launched their Kickstarter campaign for Countdown: Action Edition. It's a game that brings all the thrill of 80s action movies and puts you right at the center of it. It's a tense hostage negotiation, and only you and the other players can decide on what happens before the credits roll.

Countdown: Action Edition is coming soon from Dog Might Games. It brings all the action and excitement from 80s movies to your tabletop. And what do many 80s action movies have in common? A hostage situation. In this preview, they take a look at the Hostage role in the game (yes, you can possibly be a hostage in the game), to let you know that while you may be tied up, you're far from helpless.

It's Saturday. Usually, that would mean gaming. But Friday meant gaming for me, as a friend came over after work and we played some Guild Ball, Bunny Kingdom, and Apotheca. Great way to spend a Friday. So, what am I up to Saturday? Well, I'm in the CMON Offices, helping pack orders for the holiday sale. Yeah, seems people loved those deep cuts. And since I feel partially responsible (as the one they tasked with actually changing the prices on all those things), I felt it only right to help pack everything up. But while I get orders together, I know you're here for a heaping helping of reviews. Heaping helping because we didn't have a Roundup last week, due to the holiday.

So, this week we've got: Near and Far, Queendomino, The Oregon Trail: Hunt for Food, Dog Might Games Traveler Dice Tower, Campy Creatures, Camel Up, A Game of Thrones Card Game, Colt Express, Truth Bombs, Ex Libris, Star Trek: 5-Year Mission, Slide Blast, Happy Salmon, DownForce, Smash Up iOS, Professor Evil and the Citadel of Time, Ink Monsters, The Quest for El Dorado, Reef Route, Crabs, Werewords, Fog of Love, Museum Heist, Crosstalk, Potato Pirates, Tulip bubble, The Chameleon, Ulm, Asset Drop Subscription Box, Tortuga 1667, Dwar7s Fall, The Expanse, Tokyo Highway, and Ulock!

Countdown: Action Edition brings the excitement of 80s action movies to your tabletop. While most of the positions in the game are randomly determined, one player will always be the Action Hero. That player will be the final arbiter in discussions and act as a GM, of sorts, for the game. White jacket with huge shoulder pads, feathered hair, flashy sports car, and sunglasses sold separately.

I love a good '80s action flick. They're just so over-the-top crazy, you simply have to smile, even if the plots are strange, the clothing odd, and the one-liners could often use some work. Countdown: Action Edition looks to bring everything you love about 80s action movies and put it on your tabletop. There's a bomb countdown. There's hostages. There's unlikely heroes. It's got it all.

Mmm, Saturday. Drink it in! ... *sip* ... tastes like Sobe Citrus Energy... Oh, hey, look! An open Sobe Citrus Energy! Ain't that a kick in the head? *sip*

Well, this has been quite a week. Monday had the site down for reasons that are still not 100% identified (it blipped again a little earlier today, but was once more fixed by our outstanding IT guy, Lucas). Tuesday was busy playing catch-up. Plus, there's been article-writing and such behind-the-scenes for other stuff around here. Just a busy week. I know I could use some extra energy. And I think a bunch of bite-size gaming stories can do that very thing.

Today on the platter we have: Khurasan starts 15mm Late 14th Century Range, Acheson adds 28mm Gorillas, Love Formula Coming To Kickstarter This Month, Game Master Digital GM Tools Up On Kickstarter, New Quickshade Washes Available To Order From The Army Painter, Killbox Games New Releases and Kickstarter News, Khurasan releases new 15mm undead/evil wizard sets, English Version of Master of the Galaxy Coming to Kickstarter, The Component Collector Up On Kickstarter, and New Dvergr Commandos Available From Kromlech.
