By Stonemaier Games, Paul Saloman I don’t know what it is with games which have really mundane themes, but something always appeals to me about them. Fantasy and science fiction are fine, I’ve got several games about Cthulhu and about zombies, but if you tell me there’s a game about a stamp convention, I’m in. […]

Mike reviews the game of post-apocalyptic monkey tribe engine-building
Board Next Door is for fun, no malice intended etc etc… I’ve seen a lot of mock interviews or other mildly comedic things done on You Tube recently and you know what I thought. I fancy I could have some fun with that format. So for a change of pace here’s something entirely different, this […]
City of Mist: Expansions and Alternatives I’ve written my review of City of Mist both to read and to play. I had to give a quite wary recommendation for this game. The world is really interesting, the art and design are beautiful. The system is quite a mess to read and feels like there are a […]
City of Mist Actual Play Report City of Mist, in case you’re reading this separately to my review, is a few things: A superhero noir game set in a world of neon and shadows A mystery where many people are ‘rifts’, reflecting elements from myths and fairytales A bit of a big, unwieldy book which […]
City of Mist Review One – Reading the Book By Son of Oak Game Studio and Amít Moshe Last May I was given a review copy of City of Mist’s Core Rulebook. It was in the middle of a mini-convention, so I accepted the copy and forgot about it for a week. Then over the […]
As promised my unfiltered reaction to the Golden Geek awards 2019. I had no idea what had won and so lets journey together on a voyage of discovery. Here’s the list
Greetings one and all. Still struggling to find the time to get many games played, yup me too. Time for a quick catch up from the WDR bunker. So the big news is Expo is cancelled so what about the other shows. A bit on my thoughts regarding FFG’s recent flurry of C&D orders aimed […]
In unprecedented punctuality Mike and Charlie manage to get another podcast episode recorded within a month of the last. Discussed in this episode, gaming in solitude, Charlies visit to Airecon potentially the first and last con of the year. Some kickstarter business including Frosthaven and Ankh and general assorted tomfoolery.
The world’s a very different place from when I attended AireCon a scant few weeks ago and even then it was all starting to go a bit weird. Boris was talking about herd immunity and Trump was declaring everything fake with each passing day he resembles the Shark denying mayor of Amity more and more. […]
Just sneaking in under the line is episode 60 of the podcast. That’s one a month so far… I think. Anyway, this was recorded back at the start of the month and of course, an awful lot has happened since. So strap in and enjoy us in blissful ignorance of the horrors to come: Included […]
