Who Dares Rolls Podcast 41 – The City of Kings
Hello, and in this change to regular programming I talk to Frank West designer of the rather marvellous The City of Kings. We discuss the game and some of the interesting design choices made to bring it realisation, we also dive into what the future might hold for this very cool game. So dive in […]
Petrichor
I was incredibly fortunate to get my mits on a pre-production copy of the spiffy new game Petrichor from the designer hive-mind of David Chircop (Pursuit of Happiness) and David Turczi (Anachrony). Its all about being a cloud and doing cloud stuff like raining and thundering and floating. OK I appreciate that that sounds like […]

Who Dares Rolls Podcast Episode 40 – Room 504
We reach the milestone of episode 40 and what better time to introduce our new regular feature Room 504. Of course there’s also all the usual nonsense you’ve come to expect. So settle down and join Mike, Nate, Ben and Charlie as they moan, gripe and generally act like a group of ill mannered school […]
Airecon
This past weekend, I travelled across half of the UK to attend Airecon a fresh new upstart on the UK’s convention scene. I’d never visited before but as it had moved this year into the rather swanky Harrogate International Centre now seemed the optimum time to check it out. Considering Airecon is only four shows […]
On the Road to Airecon
Being the gentlemen explorers of all things cardboard it seemed only correct that we should probably pause from our daily routine of lolling around the Who Dares Roll’s lodge in a barely functioning state and venture outside. And when I say go out, I mean do something bordering on actual journalism besides having a fag […]
Critters Below
Critters Below is the latest from Antler Games those bloody nice chaps who let us play in their post apocalyptic sandbox with Saltlands last year. Well now their back with a game of bunker survival with some not so cute and fluffy friends. You and up to 8 players (with both sets) can take cover […]
Be excellent to each other.
In these uncertain times with social media becoming more and more the home of a wretched hive of scum and villainy and our daily news so often depicting the absolute worse facets of humanity from those elected it could easily be surmised that frankly, the world is going to hell in a hand basket. So […]
2000AD Character Meeples
2000AD the “Galaxy’s Greatest Comic” turns 40 this year. During this genre-defining run, it’s been influential in not just changing the face of British comics but across the world. Numerous superstar writers and artists took their first faltering steps under the stern but steady hand of Tharg going on to produce the definitive works on […]
Critters Below – Sneak Peek
Antler games blasted onto my radar with their debut game from last year the post apocalyptic set Saltlands. Aside from the stunning art and design the game of wasteland survival captured all the great stuff from the Mad Max films and managed to really embrace what made those flick’s so much fun. So imagine my […]
