This Week On Kickstarter…

SIck of exploring dungeons and fighting off monsters to win the treasure? In this game, the tides are turned. You take on the role of a group of Goblins attempting to defend their lair from a group of adventurers

Have you got what it takes to build your colony and explore the outer reaches of space. Will you set up mining colonies to build up resources? Or will you concentrate on exploration and science to unlock the wonders of the universe?

Earn renown and win the game. Don't get complacent though, your opponent can earn a sneak win through courageous and noteworthy actions!

A card game which allow moral choices and rewards both caution and risk. How will you play?

Stuck on a deserted island, starving. Your ship sunk in a storm and you and your small group of survivors decide it is time to build a raft and escape the dubious sanctuary of the tiny island you washed up on. As the four who are able to fit on the raft drift over the horizon, you wonder if they will survive to make it to safety and send assistance. Can they last 21 days?

Work your way through the log book which describes the ordeals of the 21 days until saved by a ship. Can you make the decisions required to get at least one survivor home? Or will your raft fall apart, or your survivors die of exposure?

Want to own your own castle? Have walls and towers, connected by endless walkways and stairs to wander? Worried about not having the land for suck a monstrous construction? Now all your problems are solved with Collapsible Construction plasticised card stock. Quick to put together, just as quick to demolish and place into the flat document envelope they are supplied in. Multiple envelopes can be placed into a binder. Castle on a bookshelf! Made of 300 -350g card stock, they are plastic laminated for strength and durability.

Not into castles? Prefer a more futuristic environment for your games and scenery, you're covered also with a range of sci-fi buildings and scatter terrain patterns.

Plenty of add-ons to choose from and stretch goals to aim for.

Do you like a little of the model in your models? Into Pinup Girls? This range of miniatures will tickle your fancy then. Available in metal in both 28mm and 54mm, the 54 are also available in resin. Spanning a wide range of historical periods, these girls will grace any shelf they are displayed upon with their presence.

Want to colonise a planet and terraform its environment? You will need a space ship to get there, a forward base, some scientific know how and a food source for the future.

Print off all you need for a colony, small or large, and kit it out with the accessories that are included in this 3d print package.

Oh, and you'll need robots to do the heavy lifting and to cope with hostile environments. Patterns for these are included also, along with a nice surface runner to cruise in style.

Just in time to compliment the Blood and Plunder campaign comes the 3d printable terrain package Ages of Pirates. From an English port, with its familiar Tudor style houses, to a Caribbean island, with its Spanish influenced houses, a water front harbour break wall, houses, a pirate village and plenty more, this is a must for anyone planning on getting into Blood and Plunder. All pieces are modular and have interior printed details so you can play inside, as well as out.

Scaled to 22mm, these are optimised to print at 15mm and 28mm also. That means the upcoming Joan of Arc game and a few others I can think of could benefit from some of the houses and stuff in this deal.

As your weary little party struggles through the scrub, the brambles grabbing at your clothes, tearing your exposed skin, the roots impossible to see in the growing twilight and verdant undergrowth tripping you and causing you to stumble every few steps, you wonder at the wisdom of setting off from your village in such a spontaneous and hurried manner. You have no supplies, no camping gear and no real idea of where you are going. Ahead you see again the flicker of fire light, all that gives you any hope of seeing civilisation again. Following the intermittent glow of the fire, you eventually come upon a campsite set up near the ruins of an old farm and pigsty, a roast turning on the spit, tents offering a glimpse of protection from the drizzle that has set in. In the gloom you can just make out the hulking shape of an old barn.

Approaching the fire, you see a group of tough looking adventurers, eating drinking and talking over one another about their exploits. You are drawn to the warm glow and approach cautiously, unsure of the brand of person these are. As you come in the glow of the fire, you blink rapidly, trying to adjust your eyes to the light, and a voice behind you commands you to stop.

\"We are lost and cold, we need somewhere to sleep.\" you manage to stammer. \"We need somewhere to stay the night.\"

\"You should have gone to the Apocalypse Miniatures Traders outpost before setting out. You can sleep in the sty.\"

Don\'t allow this to happen to you. Outfit your party and gaming table for the next adventure with a selection of resin buildings from Apocalypse Miniatures.

Transmission Begins:-

As night falls on Outlands, the People of the Sands, the War Party and the SpecForce Rangers put aside the differences which saw them relegated to different campaigns and come together as one group, along with the various outpost officials, to gaze in wonder at a new ship which has come to their little corner of the galaxy. The Mother Hydra. No further information is at this time accessible regarding the origins of either the ship or its crew, and little is known beyond the fact they are all amphibious life forms. From one planet or many is yet to be ascertained.

Transmission ends.

Paul Fields has launched his new Outlanders campaign with the eight crew members of the Mother Hydra set to land. Populate your space space port or outpost with these great models, and if you missed out on the earlier campaigns, the models from those are also available at a kickstarter price. There is even a pledge level which includes the 4 main sets.

There is a stirring among the Brotherhoods of Gormalak already pledged to the Circle, a newcomer is in the city. Proof that in Farenhell you can trust nobody, not even your own family, it is rumoured that this man was betrayed by his own sister but, other than that, little else is known. When he dons his red mask however, blood is spilled as a knife throwing demon is born. He has been recruited to the cause, brought to the city at the news of the success of the campaign being waged by the Circle of Blood against the forces of darkness which seek to overcome them.

With more exciting stretch goals to be opened up in the near future, the first free model of the campaign has joined the ranks. Hernan Duarte is a throwing knife wielding pirate who is included for free in the growing numbers of the Brotherhoods.

New scenic elements which can be included as add-ons, along with the buildings and Werewolf model have also been announced.

Join in to keep up to date on the happenings in the City of Gormalak and receive a Kickstarter exclusive Werewolf.

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/blackgateminiatures/10mm-ogre-mammoth-riders-from-black-gate-miniature.

Black Gate miniatures returns to Kickstarter with some great 10mm Ogre Mammoth Riders to compliment their growing range of really small guys for the upcoming Kings of the North game.

The Ogres from their first campaign are available as add-ons.

Looking for a great looking way to store and transport your bitsies? This great looking, steampunk themed storage box is made from wood and has a folding dice tower which fits into the box. With plans for a variety of inclusions for sorting and storing game pieces, dice and other gaming materials, this is sure to be a hit.

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/dogmight/the-component-collector

Winding down in its campaign, the Component Collector has been wildly successful and is now available in a wide range of woods and styles, with many engraving patterns unlocked.

They have partnered with Breaking Games who are running their own kickstarter at present, Rise of the Tribes, to bring a range of products to support this new game.

Only 56 hours to go in this campaign, so to organise your game and keep gaming nice and tidy, you will have to be quick to get onto this campaign.

Your village is relying on you to expand. Will you choose to hunt, gather or build your village to gain points? Be the first to fifteen points and win the game.

With over 90 pieces in the game, you might want a Component Organiser with some special Rise of the Tribes engraving.

Following the disappearance of the city of Lux, the strange Speaking Stones began to vibrate and hum, their power becoming available to those who became known as the Stonebound. Able to harness the power, these individuals spend their lives wandering the land, training and developing their skills, honing them to become the champion to take on the power known as Tenebris.

Play your deck, guide your champions across the map, challenging your opponents champions, honing your skills and utilising the power of the Speaking Stones to become the world's champion.

Equip weapons and power up your champion to battle against your opponent/s in this 2 player+ card game. With a deck of at least 30 cards, opponents play out a champion from their hand of 7 and then proceed to equip them with weapons, upgrade those weapons and their abilities and battle against each other for supremacy. Take care though, just when you think you have won, your opponent might just cry out "Fool! You have activated my trap card!"

Base set is suitable for 2 players, additional sets allow for more players to join the fun.

Build up your treasury so you can develop your technologies, buy items from the market and build your village into a town. Build up your armies to conquer more lands and become the ruler of an empire that spans the board!

In this strategy game, players draw coins to spend upon their armies, village upgrades and market items which will improve their chances of becoming the greatest empire.

To flesh out the town you are going to build with the Ages of Pirates printable terrain, this is just the thing. Another selection of printable buildings in the half timbered (fachwerk) style from Germany. They will, however, double nicely for Tudor style buildings for your port town.

Optimised in 22mm scale, they can be scaled to 15 or 28 mm, and any size in this range. For you model railway enthusiasts, especially those who run Marklin sets, you will be able to print their own H/O buildings for a lovely little village.

For those looking to back Joan of Arc, these will be perfect for the terrain aspect of the game. And ideal also for Circle of Blood. In fact, any game will be set of by the addition of these fantastic terrain pieces.

Recruit a crew, kit them out and blast off to explore the universe. You are representing your country in the Space Race, don't lose. Explore the randomly generated galaxies for lifeforms, substance and exo-products to generate fame for you and your crew. The more discoveries you make, the more famous you get. Once you have exhausted the system you are in, jump to the next system. On the way, your crew and the crew of the other players are sharing the mother ship. Do you romance one of their crew for a turn, do they steal one of your discoveries> This is where crew choice become of utmost importance, what skills do your crew have?

After exploring 4 systems, head home. Be the one with the most fame when you return to Earth and you win the Space Race.

Semi-cooperative, competitive and treacherous, this game looks like a great way to spend an afternoon exploring the universe.

After getting off to a great start, Deep Wars has been becalmed in the Doldrums for a couple of days. But that should change with the release of new stretch goals. Previewing new submersibles, creatures and a really cool crab-riding Sea Goblin Hero this new lot should see the campaign setting sail again.

If you are unfamiliar with Deep Wars, it is a tabletop game set in the depths of the oceans where sea creatures, mutated beings and people fight over the treasures and resources of the Abyss. Already well supported and with a great range of miniatures, all of which are available at discounted prices during the campaign, now would be a great time to jump in at the deep end and pick up enough kit to keep you going until their next campaign.

There must be a king, will it be you? Equip your hero with powerful items and potions as you wander the 4 realms attempting to overcome the obstacles in your path on your journey to become Realm Master. If those obstacles are too tough for you, a temporary alliance with another player might be the answer, or, if the obstacle is another player, use powerful curses to sweep them out of your way.

Just remember; at the end there can only be one Realm Master!

The contract demands you clear the Andromedian combat drones from the spaceways. Take the controls of your starship, upgrade your weapons and head off to collect or destroy the drones. Manage your resources so that you are in the right position with your weapons on-line at the right time, or things could end badly for you.

Use a dice and card combination to upgrade your starship and weapons systems, and to control movement and weapons, try to outmaneuver and destroy the opponent\'s starship before you yourself are left as atoms scattered in the immense emptiness of deep space.

Build a starfleet, explore the galaxy, conquer planets and take over the universe for your species. Representing one of six species, players move around the tile layout, flipping tiles as they move. Discoveries are revealed in this way allowing players to collect resources, claim planets, trade and build up their fleet for the inevitable confrontation which will occur as players extend their perimeter far enough to run into other players. Be the first to 16 points to win!

Can you survive the intrigue and treachery and manage your resources to rise in the Imperial Court through clever play and strategic maneuvering? As a young, aspiring attendee in the Royal court, use the cards that are dealt to you to build the best hand you can play to strengthen and power up your abilities, create alliances and break them, before you yourself are betrayed! People you meet along the way will give abilities to aid you in your quest to be the right hand of the Emperor.

Note taking materials, character sheets, cheat sheets, a DM screen, tracking sheets, grid paper, a game scale feet ruler and even a dice tray, you will be able to take all that you need to track your characters in a very stylish and well presented leather bound folio.

If you are up to speed with modern technology, and if you prefer the feel of your phone more than the feel of a pencil, paper and leather bound book, then the D&D Oblivion app is for you. With all the tools at your fingertips that any DM could need, this is the magical God app all DMs need.

Creating characters, tracking modifiers, encounter management, spell effects and much more are made simple with this new-fangled app for smart phones.

Do you ever need one more D6, but can't find it amongst all the D20s you have somehow amassed but never use? Do you need a new set of dice in numbers optimised for roleplay?
Do you want dice you can immediately identify the type from the colour?

This set includes
2 d20 blue
2 d12 rose
5 d10 teal/ 1 Percentile yellow
5 d8 black
10 d6 orange
4 d4 purple
Dice Bag

These beautiful game master screens are just the thing to keep your papers are kept neat and their secrets are kept for your eyes only.

With stainless steel trimming and a number of colours and wood stains available, these screens are just stunning.

A players book and initiative board are also available.

As the Thunderchrome campaign winds down and enters its final hours, all the current stretch goals have been met and the WASP has flown free.

For an amazing array of modular printed buildings and scenic items to build your own SciFi setting, be quick to get on board the campaign as it only has a day left to run.

A little bigger yet a little smaller than most miniatures games. The scale of 1-48 is a much larger model than most games use, and for that reason, fewer of them are used.

The larger size allows for much greater detail to be worked into these miniatures which are cast in metal and/or resin.

There is a lot of cover items and scatter terrain also available to suit the range.

All you need to have a large scale skirmish game. Will you choose to be an American or German leading your patrol to victory?

"Stan' an' deliva if yer values yer life, yer stinkin Backer!"

The high pitched voice of a Goblin rings through the forest as an arrow whistles past your head and a squeal erupts from the scrub by the road behind you. Turning your head, you see another Goblin running off through the undergrowth, the arrow protruding from his nether regions as he drags his forgotten sword behind him. You can't help but chuckle at the sight, even as you draw your sword; a bunch of no good Goblins are no threat to a seasoned adventurer like yourself and you are in a hurry, no time to waste on these insignificant squibs if you are to get to the inn, and a long awaited tankard, before the stockade gates are closed and barred.

The diminutive figure in front of you holds its ground in the middle of the forest path, stamping its foot and baring its teeth with a frustrated hiss.

"I says ta stan' on yer liver! I mean, stan' an' deliva if ya wants ta remain a liver! Nah, wait, ahh, sod it..."

You are amused by this little fella's antics and lunge aggressively towards him. To your surprise, he stands his ground. Usually, goblins are total cowards, you are confused by the lack of reaction, until you feel your feet abruptly leave the ground as a massive hand grabs your leg and lifts you into the air, shaking you vigorously.

"Ëm tee pockets!" the owner of the hand demands as he shakes you upside down. "Munee or I eats ya!"

As Goblins and Weeds begin to pour out of the surrounding bushland, you give into the inevitable and pledge to give all you have...

You have become the latest victim of The Macrocosm Goblin Hood gang, now joined by the ogre Little John and some Beast Riders, blob monsters and herders, and variations on the sword, spear and bow gobbos from the initial Goblin Hood campaign, this time with hoods up. They demand money, not for their own benefit, but for the greater good. So that their gang is able to spread to hobbyists the world over, empty your pockets. If they manage to ambush enough backers, they hope to recruit a few mounted archers, some witches, mounted ogres and a Tuck Troll, (Yep, a friar Troll, will be something to see) along with a second version of John himself, hood up.

As a big fan of their work, I am excited that Macrocosm is back on the campaign trail with a starter I, personally, have been waiting weeks for.

Rapidly closing in on its final days is the Tikki Troll campaign. Commisioned by Mortal Arrow and sculpted by Paul Muller, these are a new take on a classic theme. Featuring Polynesian style weapons and dress, these creatures are able to regrow lost limbs, or graft new ones to replace them and different limbs and heads are included with each model for variety.

Despite not quite reaching the projected targets for unlocking the Death Kahuna and Warrior 1 models, Mike has commissioned and unlocked them regardless, in order to give backers the most options for their pledges. He has also unlocked a range of enormous rhinoceros beetles early to give options on the Warrior 4 Rider mounts.

Help make up the short fall and show some support for a really cool miniature range. Even if the trolls and giant bugs don't appeal, the Tiki idols and small beetles will make great diorama pieces, or unit fillers for Lizard Men and a variety of other armies, or scatter terrain for Deep Wars Shadow Realm and Blood and Plunder. Every little bit helps build the total and add ons are available as their own pledge level, so you don't have to go all in, but it is a great idea as the prints used to illustrate to campaign are also available in the top pledge level on a first come first select basis with a range of pledge levels in between. Do you want just a band of trolls or a whole darned tribe of them?

(And just quietly, don't tell anyone, if you pledge for a set of 3 or more, read update #13 The final Tikki Troll push is here!! come back here and leave a comment, then there is something in it for you...)

E-mails just released by WhackyLeaks confirm that a new source of revealing information is working its way into the public's perception. This source has been led back to the source Dark Mushroom so could just be bull fertilizer, but it rings with truth. Revelations of chem trail programs to terraform the planet, secrets that only penguins are aware of, plots and machinations to bring the world under the rule of the Illuminatus as they strive against the public and each other to establish a One Board Order. You can be a part of the problem... just make sure the public does not find out too much, or you may have to carry out a black flag operation using a WMD to distract from your real goal, complete domination!

If you wear a tin foil hat (me, I have a full suit of armour made of tinfoil... can't trust anyone) and believe there may be some Alien Greys hidden in the Arizona Desert, somewhere near the set for the moon landing, get your game on. Show your family and friends you were not crazy, but just well aware of the between the lines maneuvering of the super elite.

A conspiracy theorist is not a delusional fool, just a person who can use logic, perception and reason to see through the rhetoric and ask questions when the narrative does not stand up. If this is you, join the growing list of future interment camp occupants who have already joined this honeypot trap to get dissenters to sign up to their own demise...

Who can give me the serial/movie the title of this campaign is from?

Inspired by the early science fiction serials and comic strips, these fantastic models are sure to go into orbit in their campaign! With an initial range of 10 models, 5 in flight and 5 standing, the hope is to expand the range through unlocking more as the campaign unfolds. Planned goals include a rocket bike and King of The Hawkmen. Help to bring these goals to fruition by joining the flight today.

Arm yourselves! The Druggoi are coming!

For 8 decades, peace has persisted throughout the realms. However, there is now rumour of a large Druggoi force gathering in the Tueden League, near Broggenbridge, and wandering from their homeland of Daldor. The forces of the realms are gathering to fend of this threat, will yo u be amongst them? Will you count yourself one of the heroes who saved the Realms? Or perhaps you are one of those wishing to take it for yourself...

A skirmish game for 2 players. Plenty of the well known 4Ground terrain is available also, either as add-ons or in pledge bundles.

There is even a package which includes a visit to the BOW studios to paint and play for an entire w/e. So if you want to meet the team, get some resin models and have a w/e of fun, games and shenanigans, this would be a perfect opportunity for you to do so.

Hunt beaver and bear, fish the rivers, grow corn and beans and build your village up to become the strongest in pre-colonial America, the land known as Wendake. Each tribe has unique abilities which will affect how you manage your resources and build your tribal lands. Will you become the ultimate chief of Wendake?

With a bounty of pieces and some unusual game mechanics, reviews on this game have been positive. The unique mechanics and variability offer a game that is re-playable and interesting as no two games play the same.

Feel like playing God? Think you could have done a better job in building the universe? Now is your chance! With Big Bang 13.7 you have the opportunity to lay out tiles to build the universe as you think it should be built, simple really. All it needs is to connect to 2 other tiles with at least one feature of each being shared. But then, you find a wormhole, a supernova or dark energy and things become a whole lot more complex. Well, you never thought building a universe would be easy, did you? And for the next twist, we have to factor in time. How much of this precious resource do you put into building during your turn. Think carefully as this will move you forward on the clock, with the person in the last position always being the turn player. Do you use a lot of time to attempt to steal a march on your opponent or do you play cautiously and try and build steadily?

Can you achieve your hidden objective to win the game?

Where are my dice? The eternal question of the gamer. In this instance a fair question, there is nothong on the table except that chest. Or is it a chest? What are those teeth? Keep your dice safe in this handmade and sculpted dice box. Available in mimic, carnivorous plant or a design of your own, each box is hand finished and painted.

Pallet style coasters in a shipping container storage box are also available.

Do you have a friend who needs to be told? This is the game to do it. Read the insult and pass it to the friend you think it suits best. But don\'t just dump on one person, once they have had enough, they may just tell you to F**K OFF!

These magical cubes of wonder will assist you to determine your fate. Do not leave your destiny in the lap of the Gods. Don't use logic and skill. With this set of themed dice, you can roll the bones and see where fate takes you. And with such nice laser etched designs on a 19mm cube, the Dice Gods will be watching!

Keeping track of wounds can slow a game and become confusing, especially when multiple models with multiple wounds which all look the same are in the game. Keeping track of wounds need no longer be hard, with the Wound Wang. Place a grommet on your Wang, place your Wang on the table near the model and let it do the hard yards, move it around with the model to keep track. As wounds are taken, move the grommet along your Wang to keep track of them. Got a bigger model, you need a bigger Wang. Available in multiple sizes to keep track of wounds on even the biggest multi wound models.

Please keep it pc...

You nad your companions quest through unknown lands and seek treasure and items, seeking to aid one another to overcome the various beasts which beset you on your journey. Defeat the beasts, meet the Dark Lord, will you fight or do you prefer the option of flight? Your decision shall decide the outcome of the game!

A tile laying exploration game, with some nice miniatures and a lovely looking map.

This is a bit of a break from tile laying, dice rolling and card shuffling. When you are done with gaming for the day, settle in for an evening reading this fantastically illustrated and well written comic series about role playing games.

Join the questing characters as they encounter, and often slaughter, their way through encounters with NPCs and monsters, watch them in their quiet moments and share their dangers through the first physical copy of Thieves Can't (they just can't)!

The Pantheon campaign is into the home stretch, and have managed to unlock all sorts of worshipers pf the Dark Gods on the way. A set of very nice Chaos Dwarves, including 2 absolutely stunning Boar Centaurs, a host of Beastmen and a few chaos champions can be yours. But act quickly if you want to back these.

Chaos is order without a pattern.

If the campaign is successful, there is even an ocean mat planned, just the thing for Dystopian wars and the two campaigns running at present, Deep Wars and Blood and Plunder.

Some nice Asteroid scatter terrain is also in the pipeline. Could also be used for rocks or meteorites in based in a crater.

Carrying bags are available for a slight increase ($5) to the pledge.
