Penny Arcade revealed today that due to the current circumstances surrounding COVID-19, PAX Unplugged 2020 has been canceled. Rumors had been going around on social media that the event was getting nixed after PAX West and PAX Aus moved online and became PAX Online for 2020. Because the format primarily centered around video games and […]
Renegade Game Studios, creators of the Power Rangers: Heroes of the Grid board game, based the aforementioned game on the comic book series now operating under publisher BOOM! Studios. In the comic, the Power Rangers – usually the main series team, with some cameos by other squads of Rangers – have to contend with a great […]
Power Rangers: Heroes of the Grid, the game by Renegade Game Studios based on the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers comic book series, has got so many different products associated with its release that it's seriously staggering. Some of these products include the core game, the deluxe figures, and a great many different expansions (some as […]
Hello there, loyal readers! As you may be aware, I am working on conceptualizing a homebrew Dungeons & Dragons campaign in a setting I've created called Dastarque. I've already covered such topics as alignment shifts and the world I'm working on in a very general sense. Today, I'd like us to journey a bit deeper into […]
GenCon has just announced the cancellation of its 2020 convention in Indianapolis due to health concerns during the COVID-19 pandemic. Those who have bought tickets to this tabletop gaming convention will have the option to either be refunded via their original payment method or rollover their ticket to next year's convention. Today, GenCon's staff had […]
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 […]

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 […]
