Mutant Chronicles: Siege of the Citadel miniatures boardgame

Greetings!

Yesterday Fantasy Flight Games announced that they have entered a publishing partnership with Modiphius Entertainment and Cabinet Entertainment to publish and distribute Siege of the Citadel, a miniatures boardgame tie-in to the Mutant Chronicles franchise. The game first arrived in 1990's and is now getting a new, updated version after Modiphius launched the 3rd edition of Mutant Chronicles.

The game is currently in the final stages of its Kickstarter, with only 28 hours left to go at the time of writing this post. It has done really well for itself, so far amassing over $400.000. The goal was set at $60.000, in case you were wondering.

I wish them all the best, having played the game back in the day on a couple of occasions. Though I was always a bigger fan of the tabletop RPG version of Mutant Chronicles. I love its lore and have many fond memories of playing it. I might return with a review of the older versions of the game, and a look at the new 3rd edition as well. As for the miniatures board-game, I might. It depends on a few things.

I still wish them the best of luck with it and I hope it does really well. It is always good to see old Swedish titles getting revived again and doing well. It gives other people a chance to enjoy the games that I used to play when I was younger. :) Though the game mechanics are different in the newest version of the game of course, but that was only to be expected.

Anyway, I could talk on and on about it for ages so I think I will save that for another post.

The Atlas of Rokugan supplement from Fantasy Flight Games

Greetings!

A few days ago, Fantasy Flight Games announced that The Atlas of Rokugan for the Legend of the Five Rings tabletop rpg is now availiable for purchase.

I've always enjoyed the look of Legend of the Five Rings, even though for some reason I can't seem to get more than about half-way into making a character before I am bored with it and have to take a break to return later. None of my friends seem to have that issue though, so I guess it is just on my end. I can't understand why though, because looking at it I really shouldn't have an issue with it. The system itself is ok though, and I would recommend it to anyone interested.

The book itself contains maps of the lands, castles and cities, as well as comprehensive descriptions of the settlements and provinces found in the land of Rokugan. It also contains detailed explorations of the imperial capitols of Otosan Uchi and Toshi Ranbo, as well as the city of Ryoko Owari - three major cities. According to DriveThruRPG the book contains 20 full-colour maps.

The book contains one chapter for each of the Great Clans, as well as for the Minor Clans and the Imperial Holdings. There are also chapters regarding the Shadowlands as well as the forest of Shinomen Mori.

I for one can definately see this book being a helpful tool for any GM wanting to run a game of Legend of the Five Rings. Or for any player who wants to learn more about the world their characters inhabit.

If you are interested in reading more about it, the link to Fantasy Flight Game's article on it is right here.

And if you are interested in buying it you can do that at DriveThruRPG.

See you all later!

Fantasy Flight Games confirm loss of Games Workshop licence.

Greetings!

Fantasy Flight Games made an official announcement yesterday confirming that they no longer hold a Games Workshop licence, and will discontinue all their work on products tying in with Games Workshop licensed material, and that:

"All Games Workshop-licensed product lines will leave the Fantasy Flight Games catalog on February 28th, 2017."

 So I guess if you want to get something from them you had better do it before then.

It will also be very interesting to see what happens with the Games Workshop licence(s) next. Where will they go in the future? Your guess is as good as mine, but it will definitelly be interesting to see!

I was never a big wargamer myself, or at least I didn't grow up with it as a lot of others have. I still know some wargaming-enthusiasts though, and I can definitelly see its appeal having talked to them about it. Also, I really love the lore in a lot of the wargaming universes. They often have a very rich and interesting set of lore, especially games that have been going for a while, such as Warhammer and Warmachine. I can definitelly see myself picking up the hobby at some point, but that will have to wait until I have more money as it can be a bit expensive according to my friends.

Anyway, I will leave you with a link to the article on Fantasy Flight Games website here so you can read for yourselves as well.

Until next time!
