Civilization Domain for Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition

Hey Game Fans, we’re coming back to our roots for the first time in a while and working on some content for Dungeons and Dragons 5th edition. A while back we put together our Deities of Lakeport series, and it’s finally time to go back and fill in some of the mechanical details on how to play the servants of these Deities. This may take a while to push through the entire series, but we hope to get through them. This is a rough version of putting the ideas on paper, and if you all seem to enjoy these enough, we may put together a finished version for publication later.

Battletech Kickstarter Stretch Goals (Decisions, Decisions)

We’ve hit an interesting point in the Clan Invasion Kickstarter for Battletech by our old friends at Catalyst Game Labs. We’re still crushing stretch goals, but they’ve been stretched out a little further, and while i would prefer a couple more tangible rewards than some of the things we’ve seen, (like put in a full star of Battle Armor in the Clan Invasion Box), overall the stretch goals are ostensibly things that I, as a long time Battletech fan am interested in. But, we have hit a snag of possibly epic proportions coming up the pipe. Two of the stretch goals unlocked say basically “All right Battletech Fans, it’s your invasion now, and what ‘Mechs do you want to see?” I see Doom coming for us all. Bear with, i have charts and a couple of other things to dive into, so we’re going to examine these seemingly innocuous choices and find the spot of bother i see coming.

Alpha Quadrant Sourcebook

Hey Game Fans, we’re back with a brief review of a new offering from Modiphius.  Today we’re going to take a look at the Alpha Quadrant Sourcebook for Star Trek Adventures.  It’s a Sourcebook and details the major cultures and factions of the Alpha Quadrant and details how to bring them to life in your RPG adventures.  Let’s take a closer look at this book.

The Clan Invasion Kickstarter

First up, Check out the Kickstarter Here

Now then

Hey Game Fans, long time readers will know we’ve been huge fans of Battletech since the jump, and it’s one of our gaming cultural touchstones.  It and Dungeons and Dragons, (and to a lesser extent, Deadlands), are the games we always seem to find our way back to. It may take a month, or six months, but somehow, someway, we always find our way back to Battletech.  So the new Kickstarter for the Clan Invasion boxed set was met with cheers from the two current Star Colonel level backers in our office (I’m considering upgrading to Galaxy Commander, with recent updates). The Kickstarter is as of the writing of this article at 688K with over 3500 backers on Day 2 of the Campaign, with a stated goal of 30K to funding.  We’re crushing stretch goals to the left and to the right as we cruise towards the finish line, but we as fans and supporters of Battletech need to realize a couple of things.

Let’s take a closer look at these models and what you can do with the box.  If you want to take a look at our Unboxing video, you can check it out HERE

Some educational thoughts

Hey Game Fans, today we’re back with a little wander from our normal articles and we’re going to talk about something that i wanted to work on when i was a graduate student but never quite found the right amount of time for.  It blends two of our favorites, learning theory and game design, and makes an interesting baby that might have some influence on the universe if anybody thinks deep thoughts about it. I’ll try to not get too technical, since this is a ramble,  but if there is interest in this idea, then i might actually work it out into a longer piece. Let’s get the deep dive started.
