Stop back soon for more MERCS info.
In this Box Breaking Matt busts open Munchkin Treasure Hunt. This version of Munchkin focuses on gathering treasure. Of course that doesn’t mean you won’t find yourself facing a terrible dragon named Stinky.
Check back soon to see the review.
Matt opens up the pawns for the Bestiary 4. This box includes some really wicked pawns like Grendel, Void Dragons and Clockwork Mages. This box contains about 300 pawns for the Pathfinder roleplaying game.
These kits aren’t as cool as mini’s but they are often just what you need.
Watch as we take a look at the the People of the Stars for Pathfinder. It contains alien races, like androids. A new ranger archetype that allows you to wield two bows! New information an the planets and new equipment. Did I mention the spell Gravity Sphere?
It still feels a little odd to talk about aliens in the fantasy setting, but it’s natural.
I have managed to read all of the rules and play two quick games of Doctor Who Adventures in Time and Space. I haven’t rolled up a character yet, but I’m ready to write my review of the game. I picked up the rules at Origins and I’m glad I did.
The limited edition book is filled with great art. There are several to page pieces that often take your breath away. It is about 250 pages that is filled with background info and mechanics. I would say the the book is balanced for player and GM. For a stand a lone core book I would say Cubicle 7 did an excellent job compiling everything into a tight space. This book is not the Tardis – it’s not bigger on the inside.
While I haven’t made a character yet the process looks fairly simple. It’s point based with no random element. Characters have six attributes and 12 skills. Traits to help define the character that are both good and bad. Until I do more with it that’s all I can say.
The Rpg has done a very good job of following the spirit of the television show. It tells a story that often involves conflict but that doesn’t require the hack and slash of other RPG’s. That doesn’t mean that you won’t get into a fist fight; just that the game emphasizes brains over brawn.
In this Episode Matt assembles the Sampson APC for Heavy Gear. From Dream Pod 9.
The Sampson is a real work horse in the NuCoal army.
In this Episode Matt Flips Through the small rule book for Bolt Action from Warlord Games. Bolt Action is a historical miniatures game by Cavatore and Priestly that is published by Warlord Games and Osprey Publishing. This book is just full of color pictures and high quality images.
I have never really dove into a historical game but I think i’m getting ready to.
Nemesis Greek Goddess is an exquisite mini from Morland Studios. Being a fan of Greek mythology I was very happy to do this video. There’s something about the Morland miniatures that sets them a part and makes them different. I can’t quite put the right words on what they capture but they grab it very well.
I look forward to painting Nemesis up. I just hope my brush strokes are kind to to her.
In this Figure Forge Matt assembles the Hooper for Heavy Gear Blitz. The Dragonfly is one of the new VTOL’s for the Heavy Gear Blitz game from Dream Pod 9. The model is smooth, no eloquent and assembles quickly.
I only need like ten more of these!
Matt Takes a look at the Time Traveller’s companion for Doctor Who from Cubicle 7. He chats about the Tardis – sort of there is like 50 pages on the machine. He shares with you what he found to be fundamental about book with out spoiling the contents.
Check back for the review soon.
