toroTORO/SUPPRESSOR/VINDICATOR – CRUCIBLE GUARD HEAVY WARJACK MULTI-KIT
Crucible Arms has taken over the production of the Ordic Toro chassis, an aggressive workhorse heavy warjack armed with sword and shield that has fought with the Ordic Army for decades. As a part of the Crucible’s agreements with Ord’s king, Crucible Arms now produces Toros in number, as well as variants outfitted with proprietary weapons better suited to the methods by which these alchemists wage war.

The Suppressor fields versatile pyrodraulic jets capable of burning, freezing, or rusting adversaries.
The multipurpose Vindicator can fight with its heavy maul or fire its compression cannon at range to unleash tactically useful entropic and psychoactive substances.

Most WantedNorth Star Games to Launch Most Wanted at Gen Con
It’s Easy Pickins for Bandits, Gunslingers, and Nuns with Bad Habits!

Kensington, MD (July 16, 2018) – Get ready for a high-noon showdown this August at Gen Con (booth 2311), the country’s largest board game convention. Most Wanted is a poker-themed boardgame designed to rustle-up notorious friends and family around the table. The rules are easy enough for a kid (even Billy the Kid). All you need is a hankering to take risks, the guts to double-cross, and the desire to bluff a man out of his saddle.

Designed by Ken Gruhl & Quentin Weir (Happy Salmon) and former pro-Magic player Dominic Crapuchettes (Evolution), Most Wanted blends the strategic risk-taking of a wild-west poker game with the simple thrill of being a notorious outlaw. Playing the best hand – or bluffing with the worst hand – could mean the difference between a successful train robbery or spending time in the slammer. Players can repent at church to make a new start, or even work some honest labor (gasp!) for bail money. Be the first player to reach 13 points and claim the dubious honor of being

MOST WANTED!

Players: 2-8; Ages 10+; Playtime: 30 Minutes

“It’s rare to find a game that can keep 8 players happily involved at all times, and even rarer for it to be wicked fun with only 2 players.” states Dominic Crapuchettes, Founder and Co-President of North Star Games. “In fact, Most Wanted is my son’s favorite board game of all-time. He’s been keeping track and claims we’ve played it 73 times… but he can stretch the truth at times (or downright bluff).”

Most Wanted will be available October 1st for $34.99. A limited supply will be sold at Gen Con and available for pre-order here (for August delivery). Everyone who purchases before September will be entered into a raffle to win the ORIGINAL game art below:

Please contact Bruce Voge to set up a time to see Most Wanted (or any other North Star title) at GenCon. Our schedule is filling up and we would love to chat with you!

I finally got my hands on the  Gunfight at Red Oak starter for Wild West Exodus. If you like Wild West action these models are for you.

I’m thinking I should take these on vacation and paint them out west – maybe put real tumbleweed on the bases!

I caught Steve Jackson and Phil Reed at the end of Origins 2018. We talked about OGRE and Fantasy Trip.  Which is his first RPG.  I thought it was GURPS.

Fantasy Trip comes to Kickstarter soon – it should be an interesting trek.
