The new home of all things Grinning Skull!
If you remember a little while ago, I mentioned the Tabletop townspaper models KS on here. I must say that in my previous post, I did actually make a blooper about the price of the set (I said £20 a set, rather than the real price of £10 for the set of 6) Well, anyway,… Continue reading Crowdfunding Spotlight: Tabletop Towns Castle Kickstarter
Darwin Games new KS is now live, and I for one really dig these great looking mini's. Sculpted by industry veteran Bob Olley, they are highly original and fun. Note to self: add some of these figures to my wish list. I did have a look at these before and thought they were fabulous figures,… Continue reading Crowdfunding Spotlight: Dawn: Rise of the Occulites Kickstarter
It seems that modular terrain is the soup of the day at the moment,and that everyone's at having a go at making sets for us to spend their money on. The only problem I can foresee like I mentioned before, was that you need to sell some internal organs on the black market to be… Continue reading Crowdfunding Spotlight: Mythical Lairs Kickstarter
Puppets if done correctly can be quite brilliant, so with that in mind I'd like to bring this KS to your attention. Coming from a LARP background, big 3D puppets and bodysuits can add so much to the whole ambience of a live game and this kind of thing would be ideal. Although this is… Continue reading Crowdfunding Spotlight: Michael Baird’s Folklore Monster Puppets Kickstarter
Now, I am a real big RISK fan, so when I saw this project, I really want to get in on the action! Not only do they have a wide variety of different themed boards and accompanying card sets, but there are options for custom etched wooden boards. Normally I don't buy download type stuff,… Continue reading Crowdfunding Spotlight: Havoc Risk Boards Kickstarter
Now, somehow I don't think this will ever catch on, but at first look at the graphic for this board game, I did think that for some reason this project was something to do with a biblically themed battle (Given the fact it's called "Surrender", quite a dynamic name for a wargame, don't you think?)… Continue reading Crowdfunding Spotlight: SURRENDER the Bible Board Game Kickstarter
Here's a good one I forgot to mention, aftermath modular terrain. Looks like a nice simple system that is ideal for all manner of modern, pulp and scifi gaming. Although its a 28mm set, I'd like to imagine that they would consider a 15mm or 20mm version in the future. There's lots of potential here,… Continue reading Crowdfunding Spotlight: Aftermath modular terrain Kickstarter
Hello there folks, I just saw this on frother's and thought it'd be worthy of a mention (I just hope it doesn't grass them up by doing so!) Still, what's the point of publicising something like this on the net! As you can see, this project is for a Star Wars inspired set of fantasy… Continue reading Crowdfunding Spotlight: Star Bowl Fantasy Football Miniatures on Indiegogo
What I can say, is that it was a great day, and my thanks to the guys there for making me and my kids very welcome for the duration of our stay! My kids loved it, as did I and I managed to get myself a few choice bits off my shopping list (more about… Continue reading Grinning Skull Reviews: Triples 2013 photos!
OK, next up is the fantastic looking new Alien Dungeon produced KS, All Quiet on the Martian Front. A wargame that brings together Pre WW1 earth with HG Wells inspired alien invasion. This is another 15mm scale gameset and accompanying miniatures, with some rather good looking martian warmachines on offer (which could be used in… Continue reading Crowdfunding Spotlight: All Quiet on the Martian Front Kickstarter.
