Welcome to “Gaming with Neoscream”. This is my
weekly gaming post for miniature games, non-computer RPGs and some card games. I hope everyone had a great Christmas. I have picked up several gaming related gifts, but you will have to wait until "Neoscream's Life" Christmas week post on Monday to know what they were.
Gaming News
First off is the Mantic news. The Mantic offices are
closed until the 6th of January 2014. So there will be no news next
week unless it is from Jake Thornton (this might be the same for everything
else). So specking about Jake, he has posted test rules for the Forge Fathers
for Deadzone. This is just rules for the figures than a full Faction Deck.
Next is the HeroClix news. This week there was
previews of: Lightray and Mordru from DC Superman and the Legion of Super-Heroes;
and Sanga of the Thunder, Kuriboh and Gate Guardian from Yu-Gi-Oh Series One.
The winners of round one were: Atomic skull; Catman;
Etrigan the Demon; Jeanette; Killer Moth; and Monsieur Mallah and Brian. They
had moved on to round two which has ended. The top three will move on to round
three (the final round) that should be up later today. The winners of round
three will be revealed next Friday.
Now for the Zombicide news. There are going to be
releasing three Gaming Night Kits for organised play. Each pack comes with six
copes of a Survivor (both human and zombie figures and card), six dice, six
experience trackers and a three mission campaign book. Each kit in based on
each box set. Also there is a new mission called Wake-Up Call.
Next is the Kingdom Death news. On Christmas Day
there was an update. Two masked survivor head (one male and one female) have
been added to the Core Box set. Also three extra fantastic new female head have
been added to the first print run of the Core Box set which includes all
KickerStarters backers). The next update is due on the second week of January
2014 and it will be a big one. For those who do not know I received all the stuff I ordered on Black Friday (apart from the KickStarter stuff) last Saturday. I forgot to list it on the last "Neoscream's Life" post, but there is a post about the Black Friday Grab Bag.
Now for the Elven Adventurers Box Set KickStarter
news. Greens of the Enting and the roasted dinner
Next is the Interface Zero news. The PDF version of
the main rule is up now or backers since Christmas day.
Now for the Crooked Dice Games news. They are
currently work part time during the holiday period. They should be back to
normal from the 4th of January 2014 when their new ARC Moonbase Crew
figures are out.
Next is the M and K Adventures Anime Miniatures
KickStarter news. They had added the Holiday Unicorn to Cherry Blossom Level 1
and above as a Christmas Bonus. Sadly their have JUST cancalled the KickStarter, however hey do plan on restarting at a later date. This is due to them wanting to alter way they are doing the KickStarter so they ca make it an success.
Past Events
On Friday evening we played a game of Zombicide at
Wargames Workshop MK. There was me, Bob, Rob T, Dave and two others playing, so
Bob (who is the own of the Zombicide stuff we were using) pick mission 04 Heliport
from Toxic City Mall. Bob and some of the others tried this one in the past but
failed at the last moment.
On Monday evening there was a Christmas board games
night at Wargames Workshop MK. The first game was a family board game called
Rampage. It is a game where you play as monsters attacking a city. It was a fun
game aimed for families. Then there were two games of Zombicide Prison Outbreak.
We played mission 00 The Break-In both times. It was a six player game but we
were playing it with four both time. The first game we found the objective
strait away but it took ages to get to the exit as we kept running in circles
due to an Abomination. I was the only one to escape. In the second game we got
the right objective last, but we all made it out safe.
