A Lone Banner
I recently got my order filled by Small Box Games, which included the new, and very fun, A Lone Banner. It’s a light wargame that looks very simple at first glance, but is surprisingly fun and is easily the quickest Small Box Games product to learn and play.

Review: Rel-Draxa
To the content: Rel-Draxa is a supplement about a city, and an interesting one at that. The city is presented as having a turbulent, troubled past that lend themselves towards intrigue and could be described as a “Dark trade-hub built on ancient ruins with a swashbuckler-gone-paladin-mariner-queen and several unique and flavorful bits and pieces that serve to make the city unique, e.g. that ‘Sair, abbreviated from corsair, is an honorific in the city.
War of the Goblin King
Ah well, one more thing you have to know: I love Goblins. In German, there is a saying that goes “Alte Liebe rostet nicht” (=literally “Old love doesn’t rust”) and this is true for me and goblins. I loved them in e.g. the classic “Axe of the Dwarvish Lords” and that was affection toward the creepy little buggers was rekindled by Paizo’s brilliant re-imagination of the critters. That being said, I may be a bit biased with regards to whether the Goblins are cool, but I try to review as neutral as possible.

Flames of Freedom: Boston Besieged
I was recently at Dragonmeet and by accident got my hands on this adventure for Colonial Gothic. Although I wasn’t familiar with the setting, I am very familiar with its existence and with the work of Graeme Davis, one of the two writers who’ve created this adventure, the other being Richard Iorio II, so I decided this had to be quality writing.
Interview with TactDeck’s Eric Etkin
The TactDecks Battle System is a card-based strategic combat game set in this precarious world of feudal warfare, magic, and decaying technology. Part CCG, part miniature war-game, TactDecks combines the tactical challenges of skirmish gaming with the collectability and deck-building components of CCGs.
The Howler in the Wind
This is an introductory adventure that can be used to introduce a few new characters to the Cthulhu setting. It was written a long time ago, so it might need some changes to be adapted to newer systems.
The Adventurers
The Adventurers has been nominated three times in the Unboxed Awards, once for Best Family Game, once for Most Innovative and once for Best Artwork. and I’ll let you know if I agree with these nominations at the end.
