The Griffin's Crier

So far this one isn't as good a deal as before. Of course I pledged, but I may just be pulling my core set and grabbing a few al a carte options.

What a waste of sculpts. At $30 they'd be selling as many as they could cast. As it stands it'll still likely sell out - to scalpers who are going to ebay them for twice as much because they're "limited" and the distribution model sucks.

The aesthetics are nice and man I'm such a Rick Priestly fan anyway. I love the idea of a harder-SF 40k.

I've actually been warming up a lot to Cook - he's been growing as a designer and Numenaria looks like a pretty kickass setting. It's bascially the terrible end of Spielberg's A.I. where we're a bazillion years in the future, except with intuitive mechanics and writing by grownups.

WOW this kickstarter is something that is going to eat a lot of money. You have to wait until they're done, but it looks like one of the best deals out there. It also addresses the issues we talked about when they first started the line, especially with the hordes of orcs, skeletons, goblins, and ra...

Well Mechwarrior Online just announced their founder's packs. Get ready to dump $120 for four mechs and a forums icon! I got pretty steamed at this, and asked about it on the twitter chat tonight. And then realized that Mechwarrior Online and Mechwarrior Tactics are two completely different games. I...

I finally picked up a package of the Bones Kobolds. They're not bad sculpts, and I don't mind paying less-than fifty cents / model. I did one without priming, and the paint stuck but it fought me. Maybe it was the humidity, but it seemed to take an eternity to dry. I'll probably wind up getting some...

My battletag is BRM130, but it also has a hashtag and a bunch of numbers. I'll try to add you and it should give you some kind of notification! My experience with the AH is weird. Long-term, I don't really see how it's going to work since nothing soulbinds and the pool of available gear is ever-expa...

FYI, there's also an option to turn on more detailed tooltips. I can see why this one wasn't default, but if you don't have this on by Act II the game is going to be incredibly frustrating. Left to my own, I'd have never realized how much spell damage was based off weapon damage - why would anyone ...

It's amazing how much it plays like D2 when you look at how different it is under the hood! They completely nuked the skill trees - you get every ability at full strength, all the time. The catch is you only access six of them at once. So instead of permanently putting 56 points into Lightning Trap ...

Do you like hex maps? Do you like nuclear-powered sentient AI tanks the size of a shopping mall? How about cardboard papercraft miniatures? You do? Then boy are you in luck! You're going to love OGRE if you don't already. And if you don't, you've got just under a week to start, because Steve Jackson...

I bet this is why they advertised them as not needing primer.

Ugh. I think what happened is that whatever solvent the pigment is dissolved in is is also really good at eating linoleum / vinyl.

Well, I registered. Not sure when the game comes out, but I'll probably be among the first in.

The pay element looks interesting. From what I can tell, you get a random booster, but you can also get those items through play.

I'd bet they used linoleum - the same material that you find in floor tiles and in first gen WizKids plastics.

It stinks that they're bendy, but if they take primer and paint then it's probably OK. I'm surprised they got here so quickly!

It looks like maybe they're doing a modified resin recasts of the old LE figs. I'd love to see this idea catch on, and I hope they expand the line to include more non-unique stuff (like the skeletons) and horde stuff (kobold 6-pack). The purple worm is cool, but are you ever going to need more than ...
