Watch as Matt sift throw the goodies in Myth’s Blackwall Warrens box set from Megacon Games.  If you are familiar with Myth then you already know these models are awesome!

I use these models for everything from Myth to to RPG’s.  The boards too!

When I play Myth I reminisce about Dirk the Daring.  How about you?

In this Box Breaking Matt takes a look at the two player starter for HALO Ground Command from Spartan Games.

I have played HALO Ground Command and I like it.   I find it to be a game that can easily be casual or competitive, and that’s a hard balance to find with miniatures.

In this Box Breaking Matt Takes a look at Colditz from Osprey.  The game that depicts real life event of Major Reid while imprisoned in Germany.  If you are a history buff this game is for you.

This is coming to you far later than I wanted it too, because I had several technical difficulties that for whatever reason prevented about twenty scheduled posts from scheduling.  Anyway they will be coming to you soon.

The first thing I noticed when reading this book was that it felt different or unique while still preserving a connection to Forgotten Realms. They did a good job of making the Underdark have a personality all its own. So many things they did make it a character that is dangerous, creepy, and weird. There are hints and reflections of psionics throughout the book, which brings a rising anticipation to the traditional Underdark motifs that we are used to, but with new interpretations and mechanics.
