Popular Board Game from Poland is Heading to U.S. Shores
North Star Games to Launch Warsaw: City of Ruins this Summer
f4218e2f-2565-4178-abda-406bbb19a557Kensington, MD (May 17, 2018) – Originally published as Capital in Europe by Granna, Warsaw: City of Ruins is set to be introduced by North Star Games at this year’s Origins Game Fair in Columbus Ohio.

This tile-placement game about the rise and fall (and rise again) of Warsaw in the 20th century is a fast, elegant, yet thematic game where players build the City of Warsaw over the course of the 20th century.
“This game has amazingly ‘flown-under-the-radar’ of some of Europe’s bigger brand-name board games” states Dominic Crapuchettes Founder and Co-President of North Star games. “But it’s a fantastic game, and has received early praise from the Dice Tower & Rahdo Runs Through. We’re excited to make the game available in the U.S. this summer!”

Warsaw: City of Ruins will be available in stores this August, at a retail price of $49.99. However, a limited supply of games will be available for pick-up at Origins. For anyone interested in reserving a copy, Warsaw: City of Ruins may be pre-ordered at North Star Games website: www.northstargames.com.

Players: 2-4; Ages 10+; Playtime: 60 Minutes

Over the years I’ve been able to write several articles and film over 2000 videos for the gaming industry; most of those are published on my YouTube Channel.  In the beginning there were minis, then RPGs, food, and then board games. Now there is everything – which is great but it’s clear my fans are role-players, wargamers, and then board gamers.

To be successful I have to slow down and listen to you more.  That’s why this year is the year of community. I have reflected on the numbers, and you want me to talk about Pathfinder, D&D, wargames, and everyone loves my convention coverage.  Then there are those of you that love my Box Breakings – don’t worry they’re not going anywhere! Some of you have also been talking with me about the production quality of my videos. I appreciate the feedback, and that’s why I’m shooting for a new camera this year.

In order to do all of this I need to make some changes; these are not necessarily in any particular order. One thing I will be evaluating is launching new channels that focus on specific genres, but that is something I want you to help me decide.

 

Build a bigger stronger community                 IMG_1851

  • Facebook groups – private
  • Community feedback chatsMeet ups
  • Push forward with RPG
  • Consistent Flip Throughs
  • More Role-Play Ramblings
  • Run at least one game per con

Bring back wargaming to my channel

  • Terrain building
  • Battle reports
  • More game specific content
  • New show Wargame Wandering – not confirmed yet
  • Board games
    • Box Breakings remain and improve
    • More reviews or how tos
    • Fiction and technical content
  • My game world                                                IMG_2194
    • Tools
    • Adventures
    • Monsters
    • Magic
    • NPCs
    • Short stories
  • I would like to organize events again!
    • I used to organize events like a mad man and I miss it.
    • I would love to create my very own game con!
    • This is kind of lofty right now.
  • More conventions
    • I would like to make Origins, Gen Con, and Adepticon staples for every season.
    • Gary Con and Paizo Con would be awesome too!

Wow, that’s a lot of stuff!  I currently commit about 20 hours per week to creating content for Through Gamer Goggles with more crunch hours around conventions.  Which for the content I produce is just about right. With some better organization I can do more. Heck, if I had it my way I’d be doing it 40-60 hours a week, but that’s just not realistic right now.

In order for Through Gamer Goggles to continue improving, I need you. I can’t possibly build a community without you. If you would like to help grow the Through Gamer Goggles community please check out our Kickstarter.  It’s full of all kinds of goodies like promos and digital copies!

Annoucing Pathfinder Battles: Kingmaker!

Monday, April 16, 2018

Now that we’re done with previews of Jungle of Despair—which releases next week—I’m excited to announce the next Pathfinder Battles miniatures set from our partners at WizKids.

Currently scheduled for an October release, Pathfinder Battles: Kingmaker, is the fifteenth set of prepainted plastic miniatures in the popular Pathfinder Battles line. Featuring 44 randomized figures in sizes ranging from Small to Large, and six pieces of dungeon dressing, Pathfinder Battles: Kingmaker exemplifies the commitment to quality sculpts and paint jobs, as well as variety and utility of figures, the line is known for.

As always, customers who order a case of Pathfinder Battles: Kingmaker boosters will also have the opportunity to purchase the set’s case incentive. This set’s two-figure incentive features the earth and water elemental lords, completing the Huge elemental series we began last year in Maze of Death with the air and fire elemental lords.
