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
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
A while back, our friends over at Yog-Sothoth.com scored a copy of the unpublished supplement to the rare and elusive Arkham Horror boardgame, and posted it for all to download and enjoy.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
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
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
Please don’t eat the settlements
Fun for the whole family that’s strategic, challenging, and delicious!
Mongoose sends boxes of ugly bugs into distribution
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
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…
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
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
Green Ronin turns five
Green Ronin fans have a chance to fill in some holes in their collections during GR’s Fifth Anniversary celebration. Each week for the next five weeks, visitors to the Green Ronin Online Store will find two products on sale for just $5 each, and another product will be in the
OgreCave reviews: Solid! and Kung Fu Samurai
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
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
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
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
