Happy SUNDAY!!!!
And happy new year to you mate 🙂
Welcome back chaps 🙂 Sam, glad to hear your getting stuck into Inquisition. As somewone who’s read damn near everything Dragon Age this game has sooooo many shout outs to the lore of Thedas. Also, Warren, you don;t need to have played the other two as Biware have created Dragon Age Keep to allow you to set up the decisions from the first two games and establish your world. Once you’ve made your choices (and strap in, it could take a good hour just to do that) it’ll run through a mini tapestry with a voiceover telling you the story… Read more »
Happy new year ! Exciting things to come. Looking forward to this year.
Distributed denial of service.
Bunch of selfish divs thinking they’re clever. Apparently they’re going to be selling what they did as a service so anyone with some spare pocket money can ruin any online service. Well done. Do they not realise that one day someone could target something they enjoy with their own ddos attacks?
As a Corridor Horror RPG, maybe have a look at “Outbreak: Deep Space” by Hunters Books. It was Kickstarted last year. I don´t know if it´s any good (yet), but the claustrophobic vibe is very much a possibility I would say.

Happy Sunday and New Year!
Phew, happy sunday guys, was starting to get withdrawal from lack of xlbs!
And yeah, id probably be interested in joining you guys for the weekend! Depends on work though!
My gaming is so low-tech I sailed through the ddos like the Battlestar Galactica lol. One of our GenCon party picked up the DC deckbuilding game and we’ve played it a few times since. He got the Crisis expansion which is co-op. It’s good but takes too long to play. We got a game of it in on New Years Day and along with Arcadia Quest, Lords of Waterdeep, and Eldritch Horror it comprised my Christmas gaming. The recent Hobbit movie got my Tolkien on as well. I re-read The Silmarillion between Christmas and New Year, and picked up the… Read more »
Great to have you back guys and i would like to express my interest in joining you for St Patricks weekend.
Meant to say maybe GW should do a re-boot of the Lord of the rings game and get some of the classic models and books back in production and get the community re-interested in this game.
rpg alien type game “The void core”
Funds and time permitting, I would certainly be interested. My personal preference would be for a gaming weekend rather than a tournament.
Morning Chaps!!
would love to come over in March, but I canny escape the wife and brood! its the week after my birthday as well 🙁
I gave Space Hulk to my stepbrothers (9 & 11) for Christmas as they have been interested in my wargaming for a couple of years now. I couldn’t see how to get them into 40k easily any other way. Even the next step, getting them a starter paint set, is difficult to justify as the GW starter paint set is £45 these days. The fact is that this will not be there first exposure to wargaming though. Their primary school has a history club that plays bolt action so that is the game all the “cool kids” want to play.… Read more »
Just too near to Salute for me to pop over in March but I will be watching eagerly for events later in the year.
Great to see you all back.
Waterloo is in June not may.
June 18th to be precise…:-)
Also, 75th anniversary of the Battle of Britain and 50th anniversary of the American side of the Vietnamese War
Welcome back and Happy Sunday!
For me there are 2 things I’d like to see more of this year: 1. As a backstager I’d like to see weekly and maybe 2 a week vlogs to let us know what’s happening behind the scenes. Could be a Monday and Friday to let us the plan for the week and then a review of how it went. It helps the backstagers feel more of a team member/closer community member. 2. We usually see the genres split as scifi, pulp, etc but what about land, sea and air? I’d love to see more deep wars and dystopian wars… Read more »
I wan you to get back to showing more gaming. You do the news and views thing very well but I like to see the actual gaming going on as well. You mentioned a 40K naval campaign? You also had a couple of boardgaming sessions recorded live whilst over at Wayland. 4-5 people sat playing a game. Was great fun to watch.
+1 More gaming sessions with all the highs and lows and crazy moments that go into gaming history, please.
The sons of anarchy game that you did was very entertaining, I would like to see more things like that covered.
one – Happy Sunday everybody! glad to see you back, two – I have Yes! from my misses 😀 so where when how much!! SO – fly from Bristol to Belfast landing in Belfast 8.55 am on 13th march. do we nee to book transport an hotel or hostel? what games we will play ( what I have to finish painting first this year) I will pass all GW games but any thing else I am happy with and probably have at least small forces. tree – my suggestion to GW – why not to include one model – limited… Read more »
Great vid again guys. This year I’m hoping to get to grips with the Infinity RPG a little, they just sent out the early test rules and I like the idea behind it. GW need to get back to 1 box = 1 squad and some way to play with fewer miniatures to get the cost of entry down. I would say a complete rule rewrite too because 40K is many things, but a good game it is not, and hasnt been for a while. I’m hoping the rumours of whats going on with Fantasy in terms of scalability is… Read more »
I also got Alien Isolation for Christmas, not quite finished it yet but it is a great game, and very tense a lot of the time. Happy new year, and welcome back guys.
I wish I could come to the gaming weekend, sadly the trip from Australia would be far too costly at this point for me..
Otherwise loved the show as always, Happy New Year everyone
I’d be interested in the gaming weekend as it will also be my birthday on the 16th March, so I’d be up for it.
Alright guys… Would love to come up on the 13th for the weekend. Hope this gets sorted
Happy New Year.
Would be good to see more coverage of Dungeon Saga, when it is released and maybe provide some updates as it progresses to completion? Would there be FOW games in March as that would be good? Generally more Battle reports would be good to see.
