Welcome to “Gaming News from Neoscream”. This is my
weekly gaming news post for miniature games, RPGs, some card games and computer
games.
“Gaming News”
First of is the HeroClix news. This week we got
previews of (for HCRealms): Simon Baz from DC War of Light and Captain Britain from
the Marvel Monthly prize support..
Now for the Dragon Tides KickStarter. Since last
week they have manage to fund the project and unlocked: The playable character
Cindy Fairchild added to Jade Dragon level and above; 21 Henchmen minis (but
just one sculpt) added to Jade Dragon level and above; and the four character Fairytale
Universe add-on set.
This major speed up in funding is most likely due to
the “Beasts of War” coverage on last week’s Weekenders.
Now as the game has finally be funded, here are the
stretch goals that are still going: Four foil Character Combo Cards will be
added to all tier levels (with physical rewards) at $50k; a prequel storyline
with a double-side location board and tokens will be added to all tier levels
(with physical rewards) at $55k; the character Lion Sloane will be added to
Jade Dragon level and above as well as the Level 99 Games character Cherri Senca
as an add-on at $60; the character Colt Booker will be added to Jade Dragon
level and above as well as the Soda Pop Miniatures character Candy Kunoichi as
an add-on at $70; the character Casey Storm will be added to Jade Dragon level
and above as well as the Greater Than Than Games character The Operative as an
add-on at $80; the characters Phoenix Lim, Pasqual and Muscles Hawk (Jackie
Chan) as part of an expansion at $90k; the character Ferdinand Bucks will be
added to Jade Dragon level and above as well as the Marrow Production (Journey:
Wrath of Daemons) character Zhi Lan as an add-on at $100; and the character
Osar Kham will be added to Jade Dragon level at $110k.
Next is the new version Paranoia news. Last Friday
Mongooses Publishing started the KickStarter for the all new version Paranoia. The
classic RPG of a darkly humorous future; Rebooted by James Wallis to be faster
and even easier to play.
Over the week they managed to: Fund the game; The
Mutant Explosion deck; the Office CPU Form Pack; and The Adventure pack
Ultraviolent by John Wick.
The Stretch Goals that still going on: A Secret goal
at £100k; and the Secret Society expansion deck at £120k.
Now for
the Mantic news. PDF’s of the final version of the main rulebook and the Compendium
for Mars Attacks have been sent to all backers. The Compendium also comes with
the rules for the thirteenth Dreadball team, the Martian team. They seem
interesting, but a bit too similar to the Verr-meen team in states.
All the
Martian Giant Robots are sorted now so the last bunch of backer stuff are on it
way (or should be soon).
We also
got finished painted image of the Reb team for DreadBall and they have revealed
that backers will be able to pick up their DreadBall Xtreme wave one stuff at
the Mantic Open Day just before it starts shipping. This sadly means that it
will not start shipping until December as the Open Day is on Saturday 29th
of November.
Next is the Wireless Power Board Game Terrain and
Miniature Lighting KickStarter. Sadly it is still being funded, however they
have added a bunch of new backer levels and add-ons.
Now for the Crooked Dice Games news. A new
supplement for 7th Voyage is coming out soon (if not now) to
celebrate Hallowing called “The Witching Hour”. It will be covering Gothic
horror and folklore and will have rules for things like witch hunters, stock
monsters, headless horsemen and lots more in a 32 page PDF.
Next is the Stonehaven Miniatures news. We got four
more green from the Half-Orc Adventurers and some more coloured images of the Pop-Up
Miniature Terrain Kit.
Now for
the Kingdom Death news. There was a new update this week. All the core armour
sets are in and from what I have seen they look fantastic. They also showed off
the finished card tokens for the game too. Oh and we got a write up of one of
the beta game.
Lastly is
the current Hasslefree Miniatures Sculpting Contest news. Still no more news from them yet.
