Tiny Turns
These N-scale turn templates from Litko should work fine for my 6mm Gaslands game. It is a little bit, but we can make it work....
The Littlest Gaslands
Picked up a batch of the “Mad Ron” road warrior vehicles from Irregular Miniatures on a whim. Just look at these tiny little knights of the road: Still have to paint those motorcycles, and the big dang semi-trailer slash war-rig. The good news is that terrain is already done. ...
It’s a Riot!
Matt Hartley’s Riot! Revolting People from Watt Tyler to Watts is an interesting wargame. It’s a truly fourth-generational game in which mobs of outgunned citizens try to effect change against a far better armed, but outnumbered, army of the ruling class. Enjoy some eye candy while I pontificate. Alert readers...
Grognardia Respawns
After eight years and with little fanfare, new content is up on the site. It’s just a review of some Swedish OSR product for now, but James is a smart thinker, and I look forward to his thoughts on tabletop RPGs. Hopefully we’ll get more fresh content without another...
Getting Lost in the Wilds of D&D
I’m still hip-deep in a wargaming kick and off the D&D wagon. But I thought the following might be of interest. A friend writes: I searched the PHB and DMG for any mention of having a ranger or druid prevents parties from getting lost. It does say that if...
Riot: A Game Twenty Five Years in the Waiting
One of the projects that has been on my ‘to-do’ list for over twenty-five years is a good old-fashioned, downtown riot. Something about the asymmetric nature of the conflict, the confined corridors of battle, and the fluid nature of the fight just screams for a proper wargame. Maybe it’s...
The Wargaming Don
The Oldhammer guys are pikers. Since staring the Joy of Wargaming channel, I’ve been doing a lot more gaming than ever. It has all been solo wargaming, but not because of the 800-pound virus-gorilla in the room. It’s because I prefer my own company to that of the typical...
Thoughts on Void Pirates
Now that I’ve had a chance to play a few games with this ruleset, I can give you a much better idea of what they are and how they play. This isn’t a murder mystery, so lemme cut right to the chase. I really like them. Figures pretty have...
Wizard Funk 2
Intrigued by the promise of a return to those halcyon days of the late-70s when I was too young to participate in zine culture, I threw five bucks at DiceBro for a hard copy of Wizard Funk 2. And boy howdy did I get exactly what was promised –...
Void Pirates Roster
After an interesting experience learning about stat priorities in Void Pirates I took a swing through the wilds of the net for a decent character roster and found a whole lot of nothing. So I built one myself, and now you have one too! It’s not great, but it’s...
