Never trust anyone over 30.
It’s an old saying, but in Children of the Fall, it’s extra-true. Mostly, because chances are that anyone over 30 was morphed by an apocalyptic event that’s turned them into cannibalistic remorseless killers. This post-apocalyptic, GM-less RPG is up on Indiegogo now.

Shinobi7 is doing something interesting with their late pledges for the Sonic the Hedgehog: Battle Racers campaign that they ran on Kickstarter. They’ve launched an Indiegogo campaign for the same game, but open to anyone that Kickstarter might not cover, and giving people a chance to pledge for it.

Well-regulated hunting can be a positive factor in the health of a natural population. While that is up for some debate, many conservationists would agree. And when it comes to huge, mythical creatures, the same holds true. And that’s what you’ll be going after in Slayer’s Frontier, a new fantasy RPG based on the 5th Edition system (with various tweaks and changes), where players take on hunters looking to go bag some of the biggest and deadliest game out there. The RPG is up on Indiegogo now.

The life of a pet owner is one filled with surprises. What’ve they gotten into now? What cute thing are they doing? Did they accidentally escape the yard? How will they respond to company coming over? Fate Remedy takes all those twists and turns and make it fit on your tabletop as a new card game. The campaign is up on Indiegogo now.

Anyone about my age and older surely remembers Chernobyl. The reactor there went kerplooey and filled the surrounding area with deadly radiation. As such, hundreds of square miles had to be evacuated. And, to this day, barely anyone ever goes there… barely. In Chernobyl, Mon Amour, you take on the role of a Ukrainian criminal who has fled to the Zone of Alienation around the reactor. You’ve done this to escape the authorities. But, once there, you find yourself wanting more. You get lonely and soon, the desire to find others gets to you. The game is up on Indiegogo now.

The latest teams to come out for Guild Ball, the Farmer’s Guild and the Blacksmith’s Guild, have both been in pre-constructed boxes, with the figures made out of PVC. Meanwhile, the original teams have only been consolidated into team boxes. Well, Steamforged is looking to switch entirely over to that new format, and bringing the original Guilds to that new style is on the docket. To test the waters to see if this is something you, the players, want, they have launched Indiegogo campaigns in order to get the first two of those teams made, the Butchers and the Fishermen. The campaigns are limited to 800 each, as that’s the break-even point on tooling and creating the teams. From there, they’ll go to retail… if the campaigns succeed. They are up and running now.

Ok, now I can finally talk about Thursday’s Terrain Corner, because it’s actually Thursday. While I still woke up thinking it was Friday, my mind’s recalibrated and it actually does feel like a Thursday (being in my Thursday shirt helps, though I was also in my Wednesday shirt yesterday and that still had me feeling off, so there’s that). Anyway, with a long weekend for many of us coming up, I hope you’ll have some time to game. And, when gaming, it’s good to have good looking gaming tables.
In the Terrain Corner today we have: New Kits Available To Pre-order From Plastcraft, New Battle Map Available For for Memoir ’44, MapForge Battle Map Creator Up On Indiegogo, and Dark Gotham Gaming Mat Available From Pwork Wargame.
The digital world is becoming more and more important in our everyday lives. Hell, I work online. You’re reading this on some electronic device (unless you have someone print out all these articles for you and then hands you the hard copy, which just seems odd…). All of these items run using programs. So having knowledge of programming language is a handy skill to have. Well, Battle of Golems looks to help you learn basics of programming while also letting you play a cool game. It’s up on Indiegogo now.

Many people have dreamed of opening their own business. Hell, just the other day I was thinking of opening up a gaming shop/bakery. I’d call it “Dice and Dough” and the motto would be “That’s what we roll!” You could have a game of 40k or Guild Ball and then to celebrate your victory/get over your defeat, you could go and eat some freshly-baked cookies. Well, in Business Mania, a new board game that’s up on Indiegogo, you will be opening up your own businesses, looking to build them up, sabotage your opponent’s businesses, and look to make it to the top.

Well, it’s happened. The world has once more come to an end. Damnit, Todd! I told you to not push that button labeled, “don’t push this button.” But the nuclear bombs have fallen and it’s time to see what’s left. Unfortunately, that means dealing with all the radioactive mutated creatures on the surface. That’s what you’re going to be doing in Afterbomb Madness, a new post-apocalyptic sci-fi RPG up on Indiegogo.

I think it’s safe to say that if you’re here on the site (or following us on Social Media), you’re a fan of board games. However, learning a new game can, at times, be a bit of a chore. Even a good rulebook can sometimes leave you with questions. That’s where Dized comes in. It’s a new app that helps you learn board games while you play them. The campaign to fund the app is up on Indiegogo now.

“What goes around, comes around.” “You reap what you sow.” “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” “Don’t be an ass.” “You brought this upon yourself.” Basically, all of those say much the same thing. The way you act and treat others is going to come back to you. Karma, a storytelling game that’s up on Indiegogo now, has that same sort of “cosmic balance” thing going on with it.

The NFL Draft was held recently. Lots of people are excited about the upcoming season. Many of those people are also gamers. If you want to have another tabletop football game, check out Gridiron PowerRun. It’s a real-time, dexterity game that’s over on Indiegogo now.

Well, we’re halfway there, everyone. Next weekend is as far ahead of us as the previous one is behind us. Just gotta power through another 2.5 days and we’ll be back at Saturday. Ah, glorious Saturday. But if we’re going to get there, we should recharge ourselves with some bite-sized gaming stories.
On the platter today we have: Scotia Grendel Posts New Releases, Now available: More round and oval Stonefloor Bases and Deals From Tabletop-Art, Tattoo Ink Card Deck Up On Indiegogo, Tiny Tin Troops Wargame Supplies & Services Launches New Website, XCase Clear Modular Miniatures Display and Transport On Kickstarter, RN Estudio Launches Mythexplorers Kickstarter, Native Renegades from Blind Beggar Miniatures now on Kickstarter, and Brigade Models Releases New 6mm and 15mm Yenpalo Aliens.
The woods are always a bit of a place of mystery. Since ancient times, they’ve been where witches and monsters live. But you’re young and strong and want to prove your worth. So you’re headed into those woods, to face off against whatever you might find. Will you come out the victor? Or will you become some dragon’s lunch? That’s the story behind Alien Wood, a new card game that’s up now on Indiegogo.

I originally started typing “Monday Terrain Corner” there in the headline. I’m not entirely sure what that means. I do know that it’s been a rather long week. Lots of stuff going on. Busy weeks usually mean quick weeks, but not so much the case this time around. I guess I’m just anxious for game day at the Library this weekend. And if we’re going to be gaming, we should make our game tables look as good as possible.
Today in the Terrain Corner we have: Hobgoblin-3D – 3D Printed Terrain Now Available, DUNGEONFOG RPG Map Maker Coming to Kickstarter, Final Days For Printable Scenery On Kickstarter, Hellgate Gaming Mat Available From Pwork Wargame, Heroic Maps – Day & Night: Hobcastle Ruins – Orc Fort now Available, and Deep Delve Dungeon – dungeon building kit in resin On Indiegogo.
I’m well-adjusted. I am really athletic. I just appear to be fat. All women want to date me and all men wish they were me. #alternativefacts
Sometimes reality doesn’t quite match up with what you think should be happening. When push comes to shove, you can either change your view to match with reality, or simply reject their reality and substitute your own (who knew Adam would say such prophetic words?). That’s just what you get to do in Alternative Facts, a new party card game that’s up on Indiegogo now.

Back when I was working on my History Master’s degree (I’ll go back and finish it at some point… … …), I had a lot of interest in WWI. It really was, in my view, the first “modern war” and certainly what set the foundation for the rest of the 20th century. So when I see games based on it, considering how many are based on WWII, it instantly has my attention. As such, I’m definitely looking into Somme: Life in the Saps, a new card game that’s up on Indiegogo.

It has been a busy week.
Work has been full of time working on (redacted). I can’t wait until I can tell you all about it. Other than that, I’m making pizza tonight. And by that, I mean I made my own sauce from scratch, and the dough ball that will be the crust is currently in the fridge, slowly rising. It’ll be brought out when I get home. The only thing I didn’t do was cure my own bacon, grind my own Italian sausage, or make my own mozzarella cheese… though I could possibly do those first two, and might at some point. And as for tomorrow, it’s Board Game Day at the Milton Library, where I’ll be playing Guild Ball and Fujian Trader. Hopefully you have your own gaming plans lined up. With all that going on, it’s best to load up on some bite-sized gaming stories.
Today we have: Ancestral Ruins Bases 20x20mm and 25x25mm Now Available From Tabletop-Art, Arcane Arts gets a face lift, Zen Bins Destiny Storage Trays Up On Kickstarter, Titan-forge Launches Dragon Empire Kickstarter, More Info Posted About Trollkins Indiegogo Campaign, New Ultimate Barrage Template from Pyrkol, Desert Basing Kit Available From Gale Force Nine, Khurasan releases Oceanic Republic NF range, and New Weekend Promo from Kromlech.
Nuclear Shrimp Games has launched their Indiegogo campaign for their brand new sci-fi miniatures game, Black Earth. Take control of your own band of troopers in this near-future (the game’s set in 2070) game.

We’ve arrived, beautiful readers. Friday is here and we’re making our way through it to the weekend. It won’t be long now and there’ll be a couple great days of just hanging out and maybe doing some gaming. I’m happy because my friend came back from LVO and brought me the new Season 3 cards and a couple players for Guild Ball. So I’ll be assembling Granite and Veteran Siren either tonight or tomorrow, with them hopefully seeing the pitch soon. Best to make sure I’m well-fed on some bite-sized gaming stories.
Today on the platter we have: AEG Announces Thunderstone Quest Coming To Kickstarter, Sacred Sword Chibi Minis Up On Kickstarter, Nuclear Shrimp Posts Black Earth Indiegogo Preview, Tabletop-Art Releases Ancestral Ruins banderoles and symbols, Apocalyptic Upgrades Sci-Fi Minis Up On Kickstarter, Chronicles: The Game Coming To Kickstarter Later This Year, MidKnight Heroes Super Chibi Round 2 – Reboot Pledge Manager Now Open, Trollkins Minis Up On Indiegogo, 28mm Greek/Macedonian Figures Up On Kickstarter, Simeon and His Buffalo Available From Golem Miniatures, and Soviet Passenger Trays Available From Dark Art Miniatures.
So, who’s ready for the Super Bowl? Being here in Atlanta, there’s certainly a lot of hype going around about it. And that’s making a lot of people want to get out their fantasy football teams (that is, high-fantasy) and play some games. Well, the folks over at GoblinGuild Miniatures have a new team that you can check out over on Indiegogo.

We’re halfway there, everyone. Midway point of the week. The weekend’s coming ever-closer. Hopefully you have some sort of gaming plans scheduled. I mean, it’s the weekend. Don’t want to just be sitting at home doing nothing (though, actually, there’s something to be said about that from time to time, too). Well, no matter what you do, we need to finish up this week first. So let’s get some energy via bite-sized gaming stories.
Today on the platter we have: Brigade Models Release Updated Japanese Aeronef, Black Earth 28mm tabletop wargame launches on IndieGoGo in February, Purgatory is entering the final 2 weeks of Pledge Manager, Krakon Games Kickstart their Scum & Smuggler characters, Latest Releases Available From Dark Sword Miniatures, New Legionary Releases From Kromlech, Ludus Magnus Studio Announces Sine Tempore Board Game, Tabletop Tyrant Miniatures Cases Up On Kickstarter, New Releases Available From Victoria Miniatures, Khurasan releases 15mm T-64BV Tank, and Hardwood deck boxes with Illuminated artwork on Kickstarter.
The end of the American Football Season is almost here, but that only means it’s time to start prepping for next year. Why not get set for the next season with a new team? That’s just what Franchise D.R.A.F.T. is hoping you’ll do, as they’ve got a fantasy football team up now on Indiegogo.

The final week of 2016 continues on. I know a lot of people are enjoying a bit of a break here at the end of the year. Many game companies are taking a little bit of time off. But that’s not to say we don’t have a good bit of bite-sized stories to snack on.
So let’s get to it.
Today we have: Tactical folding kit for board RPGs on Indiegogo, Victoria Miniatures Previews 2017 Releases, Nightmare Forest: Alien Invasion Coming to Kickstarter, Oddzial Osmy’s 3mm December Releases Arrive at PicoArmor, Advanced Deployment After Christmas Sale, New Battle Rulers Available from Kromlech, and Tercio Creativo Christmas Offer Going On Now.
So the middle of yesterday sort of dragged along, but overall the week is still going by in a flash (for me, at least). Hopefully you have weekend plans like I do. We’re going to be having a build party for my friend’s original Kingdom Death set. Though, really, I’m gonna be trying to get people to play Guild Ball, instead, since I didn’t get a chance last week like I was gonna have. 😛
But in the meantime, we need to make your gaming tables look as good as possible.
In the Terrain Corner today we have: Frontline Games 20% OFF Holiday Sale Plus Special Deals, Dungeon Worlds Part 3 Kickstarter Stretch Goal #2 Posted, New Micro Art Studio battlefield terrain, Deep-Cut Studio releases a new game mat for Dropzone Commander, GAMEIN5D Foldable Game Board On Kickstarter, Deadland: Pwork Wargames Gaming Mat Now Available, Final Hours For Exotic Locations Indiegogo Campaign, Heroic Maps Whitlark Forest Trading Post Now Available, and New Tyranid Hive Planet Mat From Warzone Studio.
The days have circled around again and we find ourselves deposited in a Monday. I hope you had a good weekend. I spent Saturday playing Small World and Ascension with some friends. Then on Sunday I assembled a bunch of another friend’s Guild Ball models, because I enjoy assembling figures and he’s been super-busy lately.
But that’s as may be. It’s time to make sure your gaming tables look as good as possible.
Today in our Terrain Corner we have: Battlefield in a Box: Automobile Garages (BB211), Exotic Locations Pulp Terrain up On Indiegogo, Manorhouse Workshop Update #7 – Hard Plastic -Forgotten Halls: Stairs & Upper Floors, Early Bird Sale from Miniature Building Authority Happening Now, Heroic Maps – Discover: Valley of the Ancients Now Available, Great Again Gaming Mat Available From Warzone40k, Deep-Cut Studio launches 9 new game mats for Fantasy Football, Manorhouse Workshop Update #8 – Hard Plastic – Forgotten Halls – A scale, and Warland: Pwork Wargames Fantasy Gaming Mat Now Available.
Storytelling is as old as communication. It’s been an integral part of society since we were all sitting around fires, talking about the last mastodon hunt. Since that time, many different games have looked to bring a bit of structure to collective storytelling. The Plot Thickens is one such game, and it’s up now on Indiegogo.

The other day, I posted a story about some new flying creatures designed for The 9th Age. People were pretty excited to see the game system get some love. Well, here’s another for you. Hidden Dreams is running an Indiegogo campaign to create a group of Sylvan Elf miniatures for use with The 9th Age.

Alright, everyone. We’ve made it halfway through the week. With just a bit more work, we can make it once more to the weekend. I’m confident that we’ll be able to do it. But before then, we’ll need to refuel with some bite-sized gaming stories. Good thing that’s just what’s on the menu right now.
On today’s platter we have: Tricorn Games Looking for Flipped Off! Playtesters, New Kromlech Orc Mecha-Armours Bundles, Brand New Magic: The Gathering – Puzzle Quest Update (v1.6) Features Shadows Over Innistrad Card Set, Purgatory start design of their Youtube channel, Dark Art – Aug Releases – Ghouls, Undying Dynasties Indiegogo from Tabletop Miniature Solutions Funded, Vampire Hunters – Final Hours on Kickstarter, Avatars of War Releases The 9th Age posters & flyers, PolyHero Dice – Wizard Set Up On Kickstarter, Gangfight Games Moves Blackwater Gulch Kickstarter Launch Date, and Kromlech Heavy Duty Knife Now Available.
Well, it’s been a bit of a short week here in the office, having only come in Wed-Fri. Though, with having just a little time off from Gen Con, it felt much longer. I’m looking forward to a weekend of doing probably not all that much at all. Just some time to decompress a bit. Should be nice. Lets me put together some of the figures I got at the show. To do that, I’ll need energy. Energy in the form of bite-sized gaming stories.
On today’s platter we have: Forest Goblins multi-part plastics is Shieldwolf Miniatures Coming To Kickstarter, Xtraidos Crowdfunding Campaign Launched, TinMan’s 35% Off Back In Business Sale Ends Soon, Oddzial Osmy’s 3mm August Releases Arrive at PicoArmor, Victoria Miniatures Female Greatcoat Legs and BFG Ammo Crates Now Available, and New Undead Orcs From Scotia Grendel.
Seeing as how Monday I was in a car for about 13-14 hours, I didn’t get a chance to do the regular Terrain Corner piece. So, much as I did Friday, with the combined Snippets/Terrain Corner post, I’m giving you another of those today. Gotta catch back up from Gen Con.
Anyway, today we have: Live Q&A For Tablescapes Dungeons Today, Blood Moon expansion is out for Talisman: Digital Edition, Holistic Design Inc. and Canivete Films Announce Portuguese Fading Suns Translation, Heroic Maps release Modular Kit: Forest Glades, Khurasan releases multiple pose crabmen set, New Statuesque Fine and Pulp Scale Female Heads 2 on sale, Armorcast Announces: All Hail the Mesmofrog, RPG Combat Maps: Pwork Wargames grid gaming mats now available, Hitech Miniatures Releases Traveler Priest Dante, Brassed Off – etched brass modelling details On Indiegogo, New Model 30 Billboard From Mechanical Warhorse, Sports Inspired Card Deck Up On Kickstarter, Khurasan releases The Great Swamp Lizard, and Final Days for Unit RPG Up On Kickstarter.
So, I have made it to Indianapolis for Gen Con.
And I’m sitting in my hotel room, sorting e-mails, replying to e-mails, and typing up these posts. I hope you all appreciate it. 😉 😛
Anyway, seeing as it is Wednesday (though it certainly doesn’t feel like it, at least to me), it’s time for some midweek snippets. I know I need to stock up on some bite-sized gaming stories before the hurricane of activity that’ll happen over the next several days.
On the platter today is: Sasquatch Game Studio announces Alternity science-fiction roleplaying game, Dized Board Game Companion App to be at Gen Con, Deadman Diaries a new gamebook from Cubus Games, Victory Point Games Previews Upcoming Kickstarter – Planet Rush by Reiner Knizia, Sharknado Board Game Coming To Kickstarter August 13th, Heavy Metal by Acheson Creations is Funded and with a new pledge level, Entries now being accepted for the 2016 Windhammer Prize, Tabletop Miniatures Solutions Running Undying Armies Indiegogo Campaign, War Co.

Well, as it so often does, the world has once more come to an end. Damnit, Carl! I told you to not push that big, glowing button on that military console! Now we’re living in a post-apocalyptic wasteland, where resources are scarce, and humanity is just barely scratching by, with rival gangs hunting each other down to control the few pieces of real-estate that aren’t garbage. That’s also the story behind Afterglow, a new sci-fi skirmish miniatures game that’s up on Indiegogo.

In the world of Contagion, there’s a secret war going on in the shadows. Just out of view, unknown by basically every person on Earth, there’s a battle going on between various factions for the control of not just the Earth, but all of the souls of its inhabitants. It’s not just Angels and Demons, either. Various other factions look to carve out their own spheres of influence. Well, that “shadow war” is about to become a lot less shadowy. That’s the set-up for Slouching Towards Bethlehem, a new expansion for Contagion 2nd Edition, and it’s up on Indiegogo now.
