Over at Dreamforge-Games they are running a sale on their plastic 28mm WWII Russian, German, and US Infantry boxes. These guys are priced to move out quick and the sale only lasts until December 1st.

For 31 Russian Infantry you are getting them at $12.50 instead of the normal $25.

30 German Infantry are priced at $17 vs. the normal $25. With the same $17 pricing for 30 US Infantry.

This is a great deal to fill out the bulk of your infantry platoons for Bolt Action and then pick up the vehicles and heavy weapons at your leisure. If you are not a Bolt Action player they are also running deals on their 15mm German Infantry Company and American Rifle Company box sets.

Regardless of the name it went by Konigstiger, Panzerkampfwagen Tiger Ausf. B, King Tiger, or Royal Tiger this tank was dreaded by those who faced it and for good reason. Mounting the long barreled 8.8 cm KwK 43 L/71 it was capable of knocking out any Allied tank at ranges greater than 2.5 kilometers!

Now...you can command this deadly tank in Bolt Action battles as it was just released by Warlord Games.

This tank is comprised of resin and metal parts, scaled for 28mm and priced at $43 US.

Ok, I will admit it...I have a problem. Specifically buying Campaign Coin sets and now they have released their Red Dragon Inn Set. Which contains 36 coins and 10 tokens, in a red velvet bag designed for the card game Red Dragon Inn (made under license from SlugFest Games). This set has enough coins and tokens for 5 players.

Even though I have no interest in the card game (I am not card games as a rule) these coins would look great in my collection!

The also have a 1-Player set and a Booster set.

In a last ditch effort to wring every single cent out of us, Fantasy Flight Games has started their Holiday Sale. The sale runs from the 18th to 11:59 PM CST on November 30th.

No pressure, "but many of the hottest items will sell out quickly."

I understand that you can sell your blood if you have already maxed out your credit cards.


Picture
The wait is over, Tabletop World has released their Town Gate for sale and she is a beauty! It bears the level of detail that we have come to expect from them. With a substantial price tag (€250 or $266) it is hard to begrudge them charging that much considering what you get.

Personally, I have always been incredibly impressed with their stone work. Having a table full of their terrain is something of a reoccurring daydream of mine.

Mindjammer Press has launched a new Kickstarter for their new adventure The City People. It is an 80 page adventure exploring an alien world. Once it is funded there are a number of other sourcebooks, adventures and fiction awaiting to be unlocked in the stretch goals.

What is the Mindjammer RPG about?



"Mindjammer – The Roleplaying Game is the second edition of the far future transhuman science-fiction setting, the first edition of which won a Judges Spotlight award at the 2010 ENnies. This new edition has been massively expanded to be a standalone Fate Core RPG, and includes:
 

  • full rules for starships, organisations, and culture operations
  • detailed character cultures, genotypes, and occupations — play a sentient starship!
  • new and innovative rules for describing planets, star systems, and alien life
  • deep background material on the New Commonality of Humankind
  • rules for the Mindscape and virtual worlds
  • starmaps and planet descriptions, histories and background
  • hyper-advanced equipment, weaponry, enhancements, starships, and more."



Even if you missed the original Kickstarter for Mindjammer you can get the Core Book in this one!

Still skeptical?

Check out a preview of Mindjammer - The Roleplaying Game here.

With just 3 days to go it looks like the Interface Zero: Fate Edition Kickstarter is going to be down to the wire. As of right now they need about $1,800 to fully fund this project.

Given the popularity of the FATE system and the strength of the Interface Zero setting, it seems like this would be a sure thing. However, in the ever growing scramble to be heard/seen in the crowd funding arena it is easy for rare gems to be overlooked.

I hope that you will give it a look and maybe even help spread the word.

You should check out Gun Metal Games website too!

In relating the circumstances which have led to my confinement within this refuge for the demented, I am aware that my present position will create a natural doubt of the authenticity of my narrative. – The Tomb, by H.P. Lovecraft

The dawn of the 20th century. New England, America; Lovecraft country.

Home to university libraries filled with worm-eaten tomes, legend-haunted towns populated with degenerate locals and their rustic superstitions, Cyclopean ruins from long-forgotten aeons, and the disquieting glimpses of things from beyond…

You are the unwilling guests of an antiquated sanatorium, perhaps the infamous Arkham Sanatorium, or maybe the Danvers State Asylum.

Your only hope of escape is to convince your fellow inmates, and perhaps yourself, that you do not belong here. And so you begin to explain the sinister series of events that led to your unjust incarceration.

Unfortunately, your memories are populated by the stuff of nightmares…

Coming soon to Kickstarter by Cubicle 7.

Zen Terrain has just released their latest building, the Police Station. This comes in two varieties with (€56.76 or $60.42) and without interior (€40.54 or $43.16). This building has a pretty sizable footprint, you can fit a HAB1 on top of it. With a height of 82mm (3.2 inches), 312mm length (12.3 inches), and 308mm (12.1 inches) wide it is going to take up some real estate on your game table. 

Comprised of 3mm HDF with acrylic elements, my experience is that wood glue and superglue are going to get this type of building assembled. They indicate that in terms of complexity it is a medium to hard build.

Having dealt with Zen Terrain on a number of occasions they have always delivered great products that went together with a minimum of fuss. Combine that with the current exchange rate for euros to U.S. dollars now may be your best time to stock up on their terrain!

Cigar Box Battle Store isn't waiting around for Cyber Monday they are getting started early with a 20% discount off of a purchase of 3 or more mats! Good from now through December 31st of 2015 (Does not apply to wholesale orders).

These mats are illustrated on high quality, durable fleece, making for a light weight and easily packed gaming surface.

Since I recently picked up Osprey Publishing's fantasy wargame Frostgrave this Lair of the Wraith Lord is looking very tempting!




Picture
Another of their gaming mats that would work perfectly for Frostgrave is the Lost Caverns of Gnash. Their OSL (object source lighting) on a 2D surface is very well done as is the overall texture.

These gaming mats are available just in time for the latest Frostgrave release...Thaw of the Lich Lord.

As an unabashed fan of The Musketeers BBC TV Show and with season 3 set to premiere in January...am I to be blamed for preordering En Garde! ???

Which, I might add, is set to be released also in January...coincidence? I think not!

Obviously, Osprey Publishing is taking advantage of the success of the TV series and I for one...cannot blame them!

If you haven't had a chance to check out the tv show, I hope that you will!

The grizzled veteran game company known as Steve Jackson Games has released their Report to the Stakeholders for 2014. When you consider that SJG has been in business for around 35 years it behooves you to keep an eye on them.

Unlike a Games Workshop annual report, this is a far lighter read so I won't spoil it for you.
