Super Dungeon Explore 3D boards Kickstarter

This guy created some amazing boards about a year ago, and now it seems he's decided to bring them to everyone else with this new Kickstarter. Now these are definitely not for the faint of pocketbook. To get one unpainted 3D tile will cost $60...It is already funded at its current

Monster Kickstarter

So when I was looking at the upcoming Kickstarters yesterday, I noticed this one.

Monster by Kingdom Death, a Boardgame with some amazing looking miniatures.



Don't worry, I'll be getting back to other posts soon, I started a Kickstarter widget, that will have various RPG/Board/Miniature games listed on it. (including ending dates.)

Kickstarter Watch (Judge Dredd Block War)

BLOCK WAR!!! (Wish I had 2 or 3 nickels to rub together...heh)



WOW!!!! This shows everything available in the Kickstarter (though they're very close to the next Stretch goal, so more on the way...The next stretch goal brings in Judges from the other cities, like Hondo and Tex City.

"If your support takes us to $40,000, we will add another brand new box set to the range - Judges of the World! This set will include judges from other Mega-Cities, including Texas City, Hondo-Cit, the Emerald Isle, Oz, East Meg-2, and Luxor."

5E was not announced

I was reading on Critical Hits Blog , that the big announcement at GenCon was NOT 5th Edition. This is good, I think Wizards would ahve lost more fan base if they suddenly changed pace with a new edition so soon on the heels of the Essentials line, which I've heard is almost a .5 update, but I'm no expert on 4E, so I'm not the one to listen to about that.

They did however announce lots of interesting news. Here's Some that I found interesting.

Here's the link to Critical-Hits.com. Also Congrats to to Critical-Hits for their 2011 Gold ENnie for best Blog.

D&D Miniatures make a return in themed sets. This is where Wizards will have a leg up on Reaper's new PAthfinder Line. Random miniatures (especially in the $4-6 range) in this economy are going to be a hard sell. I know I for one can't afford them. The other interesting thing about this release, is that it will be coming with a new diceless skirmish game with it's own terrain.

I'm thinking this is the replacement for HeroScape which was recently cancelled. Diceless and tactics means easier for younger audiences to play. This is a good move for Wizards I think. A Huge development along these lines is this new skirmish game will have Open Playtesting!!! I think Wizards has seen the light with Paizo's lead in open playtest, followed by Green Ronin's Dragon Age beta and most recently the DCCRPG Playtest. This is all great news for gamers abroad.

A New kind of organized play is coming out for the Hack'n Slasher, Lair Assault, designed for the power gamer versus DM type of game from what Dave "The Game" Chalker describes it as. Another step toward the easy play crowd. The existing Encounters line will remain story oriented for the Role-players. I wonder if they'll be allowed to use the same characters in both games...

The Dungeons of Dread board game was cancelled due to quality issues. However next year a new "Euro Style" Board Game will be released, Called Lords of Waterdeep. I wonder how that will play, board games seem to be the big money right now. I know Epic Sean and Epic Ian enjoy playing both Castle Raventloft and Wrath of Ashardalon at school last year.

Also if you're into buying ebooks, the D&D Line of novels are becoming available as ebooks. I always prefer dead tree press, I have hundreds of novels, I don't have a reader, though the Epic Twins each have a Nook. I like the e-ink technology, but I love a real book. The ability to not need an electronic device...
