Of Interest: Wisdom from an Angry God
“Gaming, at its core, is a hobby which seeks neither mediation or approval from Johnny-come-latelies.” Heavens to betsy, I do believe I have come down with a terrible case of the vapors. This one is pretty complicated. Basically, there is an in-authentic and ham-handed movement being orchestrated to remove...
Not Even Joking
Inspired by a deeply cogent comment left at “The Joy of Wargaming”: Tabletop role playing games, properly played, ARE wargames. Let me take my troll face off and address your comment with more sincerity. When RPGs branched out from the wargame hobby, they left a lot of money on...
Centaur For a Friend
A good buddy, regular guy, not a gamer, asked if I can get him a centaur figure. Oh yeah. I can do that....
Nightwatch – Spawn Matrix
Nightwatch: Terror and Treasure in the Dark Corners of the World has proven to be a delightful little solo wargame that has kept your host occupied for hours. Almost four of them so far, and I’m finally starting to get the hang of all the basic rules. One thing that...
Nightwatch: The Solo Wargame
This is a game about killing monsters. All kinds, anywhere, any time. So speaketh Patrick Todoroff, the scribe behind Nightwatch. This little gem of a wargame is a solo wargame that features a fairly simple core mechanic upon which you can bolt all kinds of weird and wonderful special...
In The Shadow of Giants
Banged out a quick weekend project recently, with mixed results. These towering trees look okay, but the roots are nil, and they are way too fragile for regular use. Classic construction method consisting of paper towel cardboard tubes covered with tissue, and the tissue is held in place with...
Nightwatch Roster Sheet
My first Nightwatch. Since nobody else is going to do it, allow me. If you’re ready to play Nightwatch, a solo fantasy skirmish game by Stalker7, then you’re going to want to use a more compact and efficient character sheet than those in the book. They are fine. They...
Nightwatch: The Solo Campaign
So I ordered a copy of this based on the recommendation of a viewer over on the channel, Justo Perez, and it’s been a real struggle to read. Not because of what’s in it, but because life is hammering away at me with reckless abandon. Not sure why, but...
A Paladin in Sloretown
For the record, that was my uber-powered Paladin trashing the tracks of the Jeffro Pacific Express Freight to Funkytown. Before we get into the view from the player side of the screen, a confession: I used this generator to roll up a fighter type and got the stats for...
Scale Neutral Fantasy Terrain
Nothing helps sell the players on the notion of the dungeon as a place of pure, seething chaos like a good altar of evil, expect maybe TWO altars of evil. Finding fifteens in the local FLGS (that aren’t remaindered Flames of War remnants) represents one of those fun...
