What’s in issue 42?

Defence of Procyon III – we talk to David Turczi about his newest and maybe most ambitious game yet. A two-board space-and-ground conflict that tries to find the sweet spot between wargames, Ameritrash and Eurogames. Has he hit the bullseye here?

Dungeons & Dragons: The Explorers Guide to Wildemount Review – we deep-dive into Critical Role’s official D&D book and discover whether adventuring in the world of Wildemount is a critical success, or a critical fail.

How to Play RPGs Online – in these weird times we hope to offer a little guidance about how to play RPGs online. We cover what you need and the etiquette that will ensure it’s still fun when you get to your virtual table.

My City – Reiner Knizia, who needs no introduction, invites us to visit and build his new settlement in My City. A game that blends legacy and city building mechanics while retaining a high level of accessibility.

Court of the Dead – Running the underworld is hell, but if we work together, we can make it a better place. We talk to Tom Gilliland about curbing our greed and making the most of our current situation.

The Roll Player Universe – rarely does a game series span so many different mechanics. We explore the wildly diverse ecosystem of the Roll Player games.

And we’ve got even more with How We Made focusing on the Celtic themed Inis and Bruno Cathala’s Kingdomino in All The Jahres.

Whilst the best games series are useful, they include a number of games that were rated as average or even poor. Reviewed 24 October 2020

Waste of 6$ - if you're here for painting tips.

Bought this for the Dungeon Depths terrain guide; the site makes it look like it'll be a step by step to really making these pop, but it turns out to be barely 4 pages of 3 or 4 progression images and barely a sentence of guide for each. Not only this, but there's barely a discussion of most of the terrain, getting the OSL shown on the main pic, or really anything else.

Gave it a 3 cuz it'd be unfair to give it a 1 since I only cared about the painting bits.

Fantastic magazine

There are so few good tabletop gaming magazines being published today, which is strange, considering the resurgence in traditional gaming. Aside from the 3 popular miniature war gaming magazines, there's a serious lack of magazine style content for serious board gamers. So it was with much anticipation that I looked forward to the publication of Tabletop Gaming last year, which promised broad coverage of ALL types of tabletop games (board, card, minis games). It has not disappointed. Besides lavish visuals, the magazine offers dozens of quick-hitting game reviews, combined with some in-depth interviews of companies and game designers, and features on hot games. It's a fun read and highly recommended. I've just re-upped my subscription for another year. Keep up the good work guys! Reviewed 06 June 2016
