It’s the Weekend – and I got there first!
Considering worlds, such as houses and department stores, inhabited by small beings… If you haven’t discovered Terry Pratchett’s Nome trilogy, Truckers, Diggers and Wings then they’re worth a look. The Carpet People is one of his first books and has a similar setting.
I’d love to get in on that boarder war Kickstarter but I’m awaiting the Warploque Kickstarter in June. Great looking minis. Splendid show as always ?
lol … I was reminded of Blackadder when I saw some of the figures in that Border Wars kickstarter.
(Border Wars, Baron War, you lot did a lot of fighting 😉 )
Sometimes we needed a break from defeating the French so we fought each other ?
ITs TIme to Watch the Greatest movie ever made and have a beer.
Ah yes, sweet sweet weekender! Bring it on boys!
Nice indie of the week
I think the people who did the supplements for Lion Rampant are doing one for this period for the The Man who woukd be King set of rules
EDIT I paused the video too soon before posting
I would have got in early, but sadly after a long (long) week of work it was settle down with Kenobi and Strange New Worlds-o’clock. getting caught up now….
yay, the weekender. I’ve got my copy of Sniper Elite Board Game from the kickstarter. I’ve played two games to date with ma boys and got beat twice. It a very enjoyable game and worth the investment.
Yippee… I’m last again! ???
I’m also backing the new Diehard KS to continue my adventures into Stargrave – https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/diehardminiatures/law-and-disorder-2 Great Oldhammer style Sci-fi minis…
IT’S weekender time.
satsumas nothing scarier than angry Oranges!?
Ooh Colossus Deadpool’s BFF ?
So Snipper is why Adolf only had one ball?
Is that Mr Tumnus in the Galaad page?
A fab show guy’s.
Thanks for the quick review of the Border wars miniatures I was rather taken by the sculpts when they popped up on my news feed and had only been holding off until I got a thumbs up from a reliable source. I would appreciate someone pointing me in the direction of some info on the actual ruleset as at the moment I’m only sold on the figures
Iain explains the overview on the KSer page, the best I can do is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDVWALqfZ6U&t=1232s&ab_channel=GeeksZilla which is Iain playing the Street Wars game which I think is going to share the core mechanics
80’s D&D cartoon is still a guilty pleasure.
Wish I was in the UK, would love to attend the jubilee… er I mean the games expo
Had heard of rivers but didn’t know anything. After some quick reading this news is intriguing
Those characters from the D&D set definitely bring back some memories :).
It’s the weekend and I’m working again 🙁
Did Gerry just offer to send us a German bulge? Should someone check if Sundancer is ok?
Loving the Dungeons and Dragons stuff!
Never been interested in RPGs, but the better half saw the D&D starter set and being a massive fan of the cartoon I’m now waiting for the inevitable suggestion that she medically needs it.
you can always get the unofficial ones from Antediluvian 😉
Look what you’ve gone and done now! I’ve just been reminded of the Princess Bride minis ?
then my work is done
So … The Penultimate Samurai?
indeed
