Mystery Box Part 2 (Ice Kingdoms Campaign Setting)

Hey Game Fans, today we’re going to be giving you a quick look at something new from Mad Martian Games.  They’re releasing a campaign setting that’s system friendly called Ice Kingdoms.  It’s a pulpy style Sword and Sorcery Vikings setting, with all the trimmings and things that make that a fun genre to play in.  This is my first looks article (which means that there are more coming), and today i’m going to talk about what i look for in a campaign setting, and the things that i think this publication does very well.

 

Tome of Beasts for 5th Edition (Kobold Press)

The Tome of Beasts

Hey Game Fans, we’re taking a look at a Third Party publication for Dungeons and Dragons 5^th edition today.  Kobold Press has recently released their Tome of Beasts to some smash reviews.  We got our grubby little mitts on it, so we’re going to dive right in and see what fresh hellacious monsters we can add to our dungeons and dragons game. 

Warhammer 40K quick looks (Surprises)

Warhammer snuck in a couple of surprises on us in the last couple of weeks.  

They re-released an updated Kill Team rules set.  If you buy the new starter, you can pick up a Space Marine tactical squad, a Tau fire warrior squad, the new Kill Team rules booklet, and the small book version of the Warhammer 40,000 rules.  That’s a stupendous value for $65.  If you’re interested in getting into Warhammer 40,000 but are overwhelmed by the options, this is an excellent starting point for two people.  

Traitor’s Hate opens up a new set of army choices for the Chaos Space Marines.  This looks like it could be a lot of fun and may introduce the army to new players.  We like introductions, and this looks like it could be another good start.

The full Deathwatch release is out, and it looks like it could be a lot of fun for people looking for a finely tuned, precision army.  With incredibly small units that don’t break the bank, you can put a lot of specialists together for exactly what you want your army to do.  Looks like fun, we may tinker with it next week.  

New Chaos Psychic powers.  THey’re not new, but they are skinned a little differently from their loyalist psychic powers.  The deck is very helpful for people who want to be able keep track at a glance, and we think that’s pretty sweet.

Theoretically, next week has a Blood Angels rules update, but we’ll have to see what the future holds for that.  


All right game fans, that’s our quick looks at what is new in the Warhammer 40K universe.
