At GAMA 2020, the Game Manufacturer's Association's invite-only trade show, members of GAMA voted on the nominees for the 2020 Origins Awards, which promote and award tabletop gaming excellence. Some of these nominees are familiar to many of you (and some of them I'd even covered on this very site!), while others are definitely a […]
Coronavirus is at it again, and most certainly is not pulling any punches. In a release made on their website, the staff of AdeptiCon 2020, the latest tabletop gaming convention to bite the dust (for this year, at least), had this to say: Since the very first AdeptiCon, held eighteen years ago, we've made it […]
In a world where sickness has taken center stage and isolationism has risen to an all-time high, video games have become the main source of escape for gamers looking for their fix of fun. However, on the opposite end of this spectrum, tabletop gaming is undergoing what I'd like to call a silent revolution, through […]
Hey there! By now, I hope you've seen my earlier article concerning an overview of Gamestop's experimental revitalization and rebranding project in Tulsa, Oklahoma, known there as "Gamestop 2.0". If not, this can be found here. I'd highly recommend you give it a look if you want an overview of what marvelous things await the […]

Gamestop has been a quintessential force in gaming retail. Famous for having a presence in almost every shopping mall and retail strip, and infamously joked about for providing heavily-diminished returns on trade-ins, people often say that Gamestop is on its last legs. However, despite anything that you may have heard, this could not be farther […]
Hey there Funko POP! fans, get ready – there's a new game series coming out for your entertainment! The Funkoverse Strategy Board Game is designed for two-to-four players, at ages ten and up.

One of the cooler items we got to see a few months ago back at PAX East was the Acquisitions Incorporated Upper Management Pack for Clank! Legacy. This is an interesting combination of forces going here as you have Penny Arcade lending their license to both Renegade Game Studios (who own the Clank! IP) and […]

And next week, there's a whole new battle box on the way with two all-new miniatures! Slaanesh The brand-new Keeper of Secrets is here, and […]
Fantasy Flight Games released Star Wars: Legion about a year ago, and despite its overall entertainment value, the lack of troop variety hobbled the game early on. That's not the case any longer, with plenty of troop option for both rebel and Imperial players to choose from. Now, something familiar, yet completely different has been […]
Fantasy Flight Games is billing Allies and Adversaries as "The Essential Collection of Heroes and Villains" for their Star Wars role playing game system. I've spent a few hours with this book, and I can honestly say it delivers on that claim in a major way. I'm going to try not to gush too much, […]
Clicking on the Bloodborne: The Board Game Kickstarter page right now is like watching the national inflation clock: the number keeps going up in real time as people keep piling on the pledges from the latest offering from CMON. Surprising? Not in the least. It's still cool to watch, though, as that number keeps scrolling […]
One of the most valuable tools for a fantasy role playing game is the miniatures. They act as an immersive element for the setting that the game master has created, and having the right miniatures for that setting can go a long way towards pulling the players into the game. So, what do you do […]
Six brand-spanking new releases have hit game stores for Privateer Press' Warmachine and Hordes, featuring some of the most off-kilter monsters I've seen in a while! Let's start off with the Grymkin releases, which are about to bring some high-octane nightmare fuel to your game tables! Baron Tonguelick Uhm, yes, please. Keep throwing demonic dandy […]
Modiphius Entertainment has an incredibly fun RPG on their hands, and the fact that it's a Star Trek game makes that even more entertaining for those of us that really want to Boldly Go… If you're curious about the game, I highly recommend the RPG Starter Set, which really gets you up and going quickly. […]
Corvus Belli just launched some preview pics for their May releases, with a little bit of something for nearly everyone that plays Infinity, and something big for Aristeia! players! Dire Foes Mission Pack 8: Nocturne Another Dire Foes Mission pack is coming out, and this time a fan-favorite character is coming back with a new […]
Games Workshop's Warhammer Community page previewed a bunch of images for next week's Slaanesh pre-orders, and I really hate to call out its goodness, because the models look fantastic, but, you know, Daemons, right? These figs look really cool, though. Keeper of Secrets This is the first time a Keeper of Secrets has been available […]
Fans of Games Workshop's Middle-Earth Battle Strategy Game have a lot to celebrate this week! First, a major player in the original Lord of the Rings trilogy is coming in an excellent plastic kit. Eowyn and Merry Eowyn, Shield-maiden of Rohan, grew tired of being left behind while the men rode off to battle. Finally, […]
