History lesson #1 for today Here in Sweden we’ve had a very active and productive gaming culture since the 80s when RPGs made it over here and got a bit more mainstream. From my point of view we’ve had three major RPG Ip’s, Drakar & Demoner (Dragons & Demons) which wasn’t very original and [...]
I think it’s time for a change. Dun Dun Duh…. For all that I have done in 15mm in the last few years, I think it’s time to change the emphasis of the blog a bit. Don’t get me wrong. The 15mm stuff will still be there but I think that I’ll be doing so…

I’ve largely gotten out of the business of pimping other peoples’ Kickstarters unless they’re pretty dang special, but this one definitely qualifies. Legendary Realms Terrain is kickstarting a major expansion to its dungeon and wilderness terrain piece…

Games Workshop registered a trademark for “Space Marines” some years ago and is now using that to force Amazon to pull a sci-fi ebook from their store because it uses the term “space marines” in the title.
