So first of all, to everyone who has joined this year and those of you who have continued to support throughout the year. Thank you so much for your support; it's greatly appreciated - especially in such a lean time for content. We've pretty much had bad news one after another where the Kingdom D...
2021-12-28 11:13:09 +0000 UTC View PostFirst up, thank you to community members Charles and timberwolfl for supplying the details and scans of these cards so I could proxy them and get testing as soon as possible. Also, as always in these cases, this is something of an early hot take, my opinion could change. Though I think in thi...
2021-12-24 08:17:07 +0000 UTC View PostBards are great, if given a choice as to what class I would play in any D&D based game I would choose between a Shifter, an Antipaladin or a Bard every single time. As someone hailing from Wales; bardship is just something that is in the blood, be it singers like Tom Jones, Shirley Bassey or ...

Not what you want to see in your bathtub.
Few expansions in the stable of KDM sit on a razor's edge between being magnificent and 'Must try harder'; most of the time they will land squarel...

So on the discord pictures of the game contents of the second wave of the Halloween survivors was shared. For those of you who do not use discord, here they are.
I'll be doing a full review of these when my own copies arrive, but provisionally it looks like most of these are bad 'shields'. ...
2021-12-05 10:26:57 +0000 UTC View PostSeveral years ago, when Adam was asked what the plan was to solve the way that the Vespertine Bow dominated the games where it was crafted, he responded with the off-hand comment that he'd make it strength 1. Which of course, at the time had people feeling incredulous because such an action was a...

Time for a fun light one because next week I'll have to comb through the Black Friday stuff and figure out what is worth commenting on.
so, after reading around on the internet and seeing a BGG post about expansion priority; I thought it would be interesting to return to an overview of all ...
2021-11-26 09:24:18 +0000 UTC View PostNote: The power went out yesterday while I was writing the back end of this article and I lost a lot of work due to a recovery failure. I've re-written it, but something like this always seems to lose a bit of the magic on the second attempt.
I gave you guys on the discord the oppo...

2021-11-05 08:09:58 +0000 UTC View PostOne of the items I felt had the most potential impact from the new ones released was the Scrap Lantern. This item provides a right facing blue affinity, +1 survival when departing and +1 accuracy if you have a red and blue affinity in your gear grid.
Given that Rawhide as a default pr...
2021-10-29 15:00:00 +0000 UTC View PostFor Part 1 go here.
So we're going to continue this hot take, again I'll stop around three thousand words in order to keep things at a manageable length, so we'll have to see if we can get everything completed wi...
2021-10-22 10:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostSo the 1.6 Update is starting to arrive and as is tradition for these things I will be taking my first 'hot take' look at everything. This initial take is with only minimal testing; use of the gear in proxy showdowns + based on my understanding of the game and the previously optimal pathways thro...

The Sunstalker's quarry fight is easily one of the five best showdowns in the entire game at the moment; sitting alongside the Dragon King, Butcher, Tyrant and Dung Beetle Knight as an example of what pe...

Yesterday the first set of images of the "Legendary" (excuse me while I go have a good laugh) Card Pack were put up on discord and BGG. I'm not going to be breaking them down today, the images provided are a bit too blurry in spots to be able to see the specifics - but this is allowing me to make...

2021-10-06 12:30:52 +0000 UTC View PostSo as I hoped, I managed to hit three reviews for September, I'm still committing to doing two a month at the moment, but if I can squeeze out a third that would be great because ultimately I'd like to do between 2 and 4 per month.
The reviews that went up in September were:
Last week I received a copy of VagrantSong from Wyrd Games and I wanted to give you guys a first impressions review before I write a full one for the general public next week. This is because the game is...
2021-10-01 06:08:56 +0000 UTC View PostThere should be no secret that resins are an inevitable part of the experience surrounding boutique games like the ones we engage with; Kingdom Death has them, Aeon Trespass has them and so does Middara.
I think it's no secret that the Middara miniatures in the game are not great; they have...
2021-09-24 09:00:00 +0000 UTC View PostI do not often go into the hunt events in any detail when looking at these monsters while setting up for a deep dive plus visual guide, but in the cases of the Sunstalker and the Dragon King, they are just too interesting and important to pass up on. So, today, we are going to deep dive into the ...
2021-09-17 06:55:25 +0000 UTC View PostWe've previously explored just how incredible and game expanding the cycloid scale armor can be, but as I wrote in the previous article the Sunstalker is a triple S platinum expansion extrodinaire because not only is the armor amazing; but there is not a single bad piece of gear in the entire cra...
