Wargames Illustrated seems to be the one you can find everywhere. It has the highest physical production value (square-bound, glossy, 108 pages*) and publishes some really good… Read more »

METAMORPHOSIS KAFKA
[I’m saddened and dismayed it’s taken me this long to come up with that.] So, here: It’s yours. And go back this ’cause it’s gonna be cool. Now that’s outta the way, … *** Note: the following isn’t a way to find out who your parents were, that’s already been covered. This is a method… Read more »
OK Now this Plague is Really Getting in the Way
Lamentations of the Flame Princess (US Store) just released a handful of new titles. For virus-related reasons he’s unable to ship to a few countries, including Canada. If you’re up here and want any of the new books I recommend you go through a freight forwarder. Going through a forwarder will add shipping costs… Read more »
Thankful for the Middle Ages
What a time to be alive! Something I’ve wondered about off and on for years is why nobody was making figs inspired by classic art. There are a lot — tons really — of minis out there of this or that TV or film character. And a fair few of daring heroes and cruel villains… Read more »

NoMADs on Patrol
OldGamersWorkshop has a second group of mutants — and some eeeevil humans — on Kickstarter. I mean … Right!? You can get the figs from their first project as well. So, … You should go do that.
More Thanks
Saying Thank You on Sunday. Oathsworn’s Burrows & Badgers and Northumbrian’s Nightfolk. Yeah, … I mean, look at these guys: They’re proof that I would love, LOVE, to see the Nightfolk written — hell, even as apocrypha — into Burrows & Badgers. That’s right. I’m goading you guys! Get it together. Oh, and …… Read more »
Illuminati Warfare in the Age of Madness
You know how Traveller‘s chargen is a mini-game you play before the real adventure starts? Well I’ve been thinking about this: To keep my tinkering and tests simple I think I’ll leave out all of both games’ expansions for now. I’ll stick to just the first Illuminati* pocket box cards and just the original… Read more »
