Wow, The boys at Spartan Games keep making better toys for us to play. We were so impressed with the images they sent us we went ahead and made you a short video.
I passed on Dystopian wars when it came out, I think I am regretting that now. This game just looks so cool.
In this Complete Package Ryan opens and assembles Far Eye of the Aurlok Nation in the Alkemy skirmish game.
Thanks for watching – hope it was an eye opener. Come back soon for more videos. If you have questions or comments just ask we will do our best to get the right answer. If you have questions about Alkemy visit Studio 38.
Copyright secured by Digiprove © 2012 Howdy gamers! And welcome back to Through Gamer Goggles. This is the second episode of our first Silvervine game session, led by THE John Arcadian..
In this week’s episode we describe our characters (and learn a little too much about Matt). After that we try to determine if worms are kosher, and discover that Squirmy will work for his can.
So what will the group do next? Will they seek employment from the Thieves’ Guild? Will they go see the folks that dared attack the Thieves’ Guild in broad daylight? Will Bonsai get distracted by something shiny? (Well, that’s a guarantee.) Or will they do something totally random? Find out in our next episode!
Romulans
$ 24.95 SRP
ROMULANS! The very name sends shockwaves of terror through the Federation (and waves of anguish through the Klingons and other empires). With their cloaked ships, deadly plasma torpedoes, and self-aggrandizing attitude, the Romulans are just full of themselves (and full of trouble for everyone else in the galaxy). This sourcebook has been updated and revised for the modern versions of 20-sided dice RPG systems. Everything you want to know about these ex-Vulcan renegades is here. History, political system, politics, culture, and society, it’s all here. The Great Houses, extended families that function as gigantic corporations, control most of the economy, but each House is more concerned with its own wealth than with the Empire at large. Somehow, the Emperor must play the Great Houses off against each other to maintain any progress (and keep himself on the throne!) in the face of Federation economic pressure. The book details the justice system, religions, military forces, weapons, starships, and much more. The book includes complete deck plans of the SkyHawk war destroyer, the workhorse of the Romulan fleet. Deck plans and characters are included for Abbraxas Station, the primary point of contact with the Federation. Also included are detailed surveys of all major (and several more) Romulan planets. This book has everything you need to fight the Romulans — or to become one!
In this Off the Palette Matt paints Alkemy’s Deacon Degarius for the Kingdom of Avalon. Alkemy is a tactical skirmish based fantasy game. Hey, it is about an hour so you might want a snack.

L5R: Embers of War SD
In the distant Colonies, once known as the Ivory Kingdoms, the samurai of Rokugan gather the resources the Empire needs to survive. Threatened by unknown enemies and pitted against one another in politics and economics, will their honor and steel prove strong enough for the Second City to survive? Embers of War is the brand new expansion for the fan-favorite Legend of the Five Rings Collectible Card Game from AEG. It follows the release of Emperor Edition, the new base set, releasing in February 2012. Now that peace has settled and the riches of the new land conquered by the Empress’ forces are discovered, new alliances and rivalries are formed, both on the mainland and the Colonies. Who will benefit the most?
I have recently reclaimed some of my L5R collection and I am looking forward to this.

When Venser recognized the threat to Koth’s world was none other than Phyrexia, he knew that the only hope for Mirrodin was to find its maker. But that would mean forsaking its people in the meantime. Koth would rather die than turn his back on his fellow Mirrans. But Venser all but knew they would die anyway if they failed to reach Karn, his former mentor and creator of Mirrodin. Two Planeswalkers, one goal, very different methods.

Stonepick Crossing
$ 12.00 SRP
The tiny thorp of Stonepick Crossing sits on top of an old dwarven dam holding. The dam was built some 500 years ago, ending a long war between a clan of dwarves and a clan of goblins that infested a highly-defensible cave complex. Recognizing the futility of direct assault, the dwarves built the dam to flood the goblin caves, flushing the foul creatures out of their caves and into the slaughter of honest combat. Now 500 years later, the dwarves have moved on and a small thorp has sprung up. The town is named for the dwarven clan leader who waged war against the goblins, Eltoren Stonepick. Near the protected town atop its dam, farmers till the soil around the lake created by the construction. 1st-3rd level characters
