Blogging At This Event:
Unstable Unicorns
Unicorns are real. No really, real. And you have to build a stable full of them. Collect each of the unicorns to populate your stable. Upgrade your stable, and at the same time downgrade your opponent's. Magic can ruin your opponents day, be careful it does not ruin yours too. Deny your opponent by saying Neigh, collect all the unicorns and create your stable stable, and don't let your opponent turn the tables on you.
Dare to Dream
When you go to sleep tonight, are you sure you are going to wake in the morning? Are your dreams going to be pleasant? Will your guardians keep you safe from the terrors of the night? Or will those terrors overtake you and drive you to the brink? Tokens, items and wards will help your guardians, but for every action, there is a terrible reaction as the night terrors gain resources to use against the guardians. Can your resourceful guardians keep you safe or will they succumb and condemn you to suffer the fate that awaits those not able to overcome them?
Sleep well...
The Shipwreck Arcana
You and your companions are shipwrecked and your fate depends on each other's deductive powers. Draw 2 Fate Tokens. Play out one fate token in front of a card, keep another hidden. You may not speak as the others use logic and deduction to attempt to figure out the value of the hidden fate. Attempt to gain 7 points before the doom tracker gets to 7 to win the game together, or meet your doom as a group.
3d Printable Ships
For those of you with a seascape or port in mind for historicals or fantasy, here is a nice range of boats and ships for 3d printing.
Hayland Terrain 3D
Hayland are back on Kickstarter with some more excellent looking terrain for 3d printing.
Also available are the previous 2 ranges.
Wild West 3D Print Files.
With only a few days left to run, the Wild West Buildings 3d Print campaign is going great guns. With a slew of stretch goals unlocked, you can get a pledge for everything, or for just one or 2 buildings. It's high noon and your street needs a town to go with it. Great for Dead Man's Hand or Wild West Exodus or any western project.
Call of the Wild
Peace and quiet, that is how we all picture the Great Outdoors. However, there is alot to hear if you know what you are listening for. All those creatures out there, singing, whistling, hooting and crying out to find mates, or screaming as they get caught by the creatures which predate upon them.
Can you find your mate, avoid being eaten and eat your prey, all by making and listening to the calls? Are you fit to survive in the Jungle?
The Kings Guild
The King is Dying!!! As head of one of the Guilds, you are in line for the throne. Will the Council of the Wise select you as the next King? That is up to you and your ability to show them your guild is the strongest!
Craft items from resources you have gathered. Equip heroes with those items, send them out on a quest and share in the fruits of their adventures as you build your guild to become the strongest in the land.

Had two friends already back the Unstable Unicorns off the back of this!
Awesome work @fishman thank you 🙂

Darkholds cancelled! 🙁
Yeah, that’s a real shame. It looked really good. I suppose if it wasn’t going to fund then cancellation saves everyone a lot of hassle, but still.
Dare to Dream has caught my interest. Looking for simpler card and board games I can play with friends that aren’t into the serious strategy side of things.
Ultimate Gaming: The Ultimate Game Table System looks really nice. For less than $1000, you get a 4 by 6 table with table covers and cup holders. Seems almost too good to be true. Anyone have experience with either of these two guys before?
Definitely backing the new Macrocosm campaign!
Just backed Tim Fowers’ latest, Now Boarding :

ForgePrint’s AdventureScapes Game Tiles will be starting next week, September 6th!
What’s the best way of letting you know about the KS?
(BTW, ForgePrints also has a 25% off sale on their miniatures site until 8/31. Pick up their skull piles! (:
