Fat Dragon Games Has Loads Of Cool Terrain

1 Comment

We had a nice chat with Tom from Fat Dragon Games about their awesome variety of terrain. They started off with papercraft terrain that looks absolutely amazing, and they've now transitioned over into 3D printable terrain. These sets still provide modular building capability for gamers at a relatively lower price point. They will be headed to Kickstarter again in the near future with even more goodies.

We love seeing familiar faces at the cons and the guys from Anvil 8 Games are a perfect example. It's been great to see Aetherium really coming into its own. This Gen Con they're celebrating the recent launch of the latest addition to the world of Aetherium, House Ikaru. And if that wasn't enough, they've also launched a brand new card game, Frontline No Komrades, which looks to be a super fun and fast card game.
