Getting started with Trollbloods.

July 15, 2010

In retrospect, we shouldn’t have titled our last piece “A quickie primer on Circle of Orboros,” because it was more a response to a “getting started” article than a faction “primer.” We’ve corrected this titling scheme here, in which we’ll highlight a similar community article.

August 20, 2009

Late last year, we jumped back into tabletop wargaming, and though we mentioned this pursuit earlier, we didn’t clarify what game in particular we opted to invest in. We’re still not at the point where we can field a solid (and finished) army, but we nonetheless find ourselves casually plowing through Warmachine/Hordes material, from the [...]

Arcane Legions: great idea, questionable execution.

July 2, 2009

Arcane Legions appears to be an interesting project by some of the former minds behind FASA and WizKids!, and was shown off at Origins this year. Robot Viking posted some early thoughts on the game, and admittedly, the premise of the game intrigued us. That’s because Arcane Legions has the potential to do for large-scale [...]
