Ronin Arts fans can now grab a limited print copy of the company’s latest M&M Superlink product, Superline #1: Tomorrow’s Headlines. For those who weren’t aware, Superline is a new series of supplements that will “present fan-oriented gaming material for M&M Superlink in a comic book format and with comic

Kevin Wilson’s gonna sing the Doom song now

April 23, 2005 Mike Sugarbaker Board Games

The designer of Doom, WarCraft and the developer on the new Arkham Horror edition is interviewed, and gives what I think are heretofore-unreleased gameplay details about the latter. And it’s just generally a fun read for design heads such as myself.

Original Arkham Horror expansion rises again

April 23, 2005 Allan Sugarbaker Board Games One comment

A while back, our friends over at Yog-Sothoth.com scored a copy of the unpublished supplement to the rare and elusive Arkham Horror boardgame, and posted it for all to download and enjoy. Unfortunately, the site had to take the file down shortly thereafter until a day when the game’s ownership

Cartoon Action Hour story

April 22, 2005 Allan Sugarbaker Roleplaying Games

Z-Man Games and Spectrum Games have been collaborating to pack each Cartoon Action Hour release with energon cubes – um, sorry, entertaining campaign material. Their newest product, currently in PDF at the Z-Man site, looks to be no exception. Star Warriors is the third series book for CAH, a 64-page

That hobby with the dungeons and stuff

April 19, 2005 Allan Sugarbaker Roleplaying Games 3 comments

A friend pointed out a London Times article about Games Workshop‘s recent decline in share value. Other than strangely comparing GW’s drop in profits to “Jessops, the camera shop, and Topps Tiles, the ceramic tiles specialist”, this article was notable for one other reason: the reporter sites GW as the

Mongoose sends boxes of ugly bugs into distribution

April 19, 2005 Mike Sugarbaker Miniatures Games

Seriously. Mean, ugly, nasty, and, er, tall. I’d rather face a bunch of Genestealers than a pack of these. So: recall that this is the Andy Chambers-designed brand new Starship Troopers minis game. After a long time of talk and no action, distributors have it and it should be in

OgreCave reviews: Yog-Sothoth and an Exosuit

April 17, 2005 Allan Sugarbaker Reviews

Sounds like a quirky sit-com title, doesn’t it? But no, it’s our latest reviews! Demian has looked deeply into the abyss of Shadows of Yog-Sothoth by Chaosium, and given us whatever sane thoughts he has left. Also, Cedric’s review of Exosuit AOK by Deep7 should enlighten any reader, otaku or

From the “slight change of pace” department…

April 16, 2005 Demian Katz Board Games

Another free game of the month has arrived from Invisible City. Tumblewords is sort of like a hybrid of Connect Four and those word search puzzles often found in special large-print editions for the elderly. If you’ve got some spare Scrabble tiles lying around, this isn’t a bad way to

WalMart uses miniatures to make more retailer friends

April 16, 2005 Allan Sugarbaker Miniatures Games 9 comments

Apparently mega-chain retailer WalMart is moving deeper into collectible miniatures territory, a trend that’s making some game store retailers nervous. As a guest retailer reports at ICV2, WalMart is selling the Star Wars Miniatures Game at well below MSRP (and though the story claims WalMart did not carry the first

OgreCave reviews: Solid! and Kung Fu Samurai

April 12, 2005 Allan Sugarbaker Reviews

Today’s batch of reviews adds some humorous titles to our library. Justin gives us his take on Solid! from Wingnut Games, which he wasn’t impressed with for several reasons. Then Matthew describes Kung Fu Samurai on Giant Robot Island from Z-Man Games, and quotes some of his favorite cards in

Amazon ventures into print-on-demand

April 11, 2005 Allan Sugarbaker Industry 8 comments

We’ve heard through the grapevine that Amazon has just acquired a print-on-demand company called Booksurge. Yes, the giant online store can now offer to print and bind a book for you that only exists in electronic form until you buy it. Depending on what Booksurge charges, Amazon could be in

Hecatomb site (and logotype) rapidly improving

April 6, 2005 Mike Sugarbaker Card Games

So there’s some interesting stuff to read there now. Including this “first small hit of game information”: “When you attack with your abominations and your opponent is foolish (or devilish) enough not to block them, the abominations reap souls from that player. Be the first to reap 20 souls, and

OgreCave reviews: Cthulhu Dark Ages & One False Step

April 5, 2005 Allan Sugarbaker Reviews

As this fine Tuesday draws to a close, I’m finally able to get back online and get some reviews up. Matthew gives us his analysis of Cthulhu Dark Ages by Chaosium, and he pulls no punches. Then Demian tells us about One False Step for Mankind by Cheapass Games, and
