AAR/Impressions- Marvel Crisis Protocol
Last night, I joined a group of regulars at Oak Lawn Comics for their inaugural weekly Marvel Crisis Protocol night. The game is usually played on a 3×3 board, so we set up a sprawling abandoned military installation on a 6×4 table, and played 2 separate games on each half. Brian and I played the ... Read more
Review- Black Site Studio MV Australis
Last year at Adepticon, I saw a kit that I was super excited about. Black Site Studio created a huge 4 foot long cargo ship. I had contemplating scratch building one of these for a long time, and had even talked to some designers about making a kit, but Black Site Studio beat me to ... Read more
Fallout Wasteland Warfare Impressions : Brought to You By Liberty Prime Insurance – “Be a Patriot…or be vaporized!”
Welcome wastelanders! Sorry about the lack of posts. Life is busy, games go unplayed, minis unpainted. (Well…a few. I’ve been fairly happy about my hobby progress this summer, but most of it is more on the rpg side. ;)) One of my goals this summer was to finally try out one of the big-IP games ... Read more
Adepticon 2019- Images (Image Heavy!), Thoughts and Reflections, Oh My!
Greetings friends and hobbyists! Adepticon 2019 has just recently passed, and what a treat it was! (mostly).

Exploring with the Rangers of Shadow Deep!
There seems to be a new kid on the fantasy gaming block trying to make a name for itself. You see, the author of Frostgrave is an ambitious chap full of gaming ponderings and explorations. I feel his sweet babychild, Frostgrave, is constantly evolving and finding ways to change and meet the demands of every ... Read more

Review of Wargames Soldiers and Strategy 96
I recently subscribed to Wargames Soldiers and Strategy and I’d like to share my thoughts on my first issue. Many of the articles in WSS are short 2-4 page descriptions of scenarios inspired by historical events. The theme for this issue was raid in the American Civil War. I’ve never studied the civil war much ... Read more
AAR/Review- A Trial Run through Kobolds and Cobblestones
Chris and I recently got together for a game of Kobolds and Cobblestones. It is number 21 in Osprey’s line of games that I often call “little blue miniatures games.” This one is set in the criminal underground of a sort of neutral city where various standard fantasy races live in an uneasy peace. The ... Read more
Review/AAR- Last Days: Zombie Apocalypse
Osprey was kind enough to send us a review copy of Ash Barker’s new zombie game, Last Days: Zombie Apocalypse. We got to spend some time at Adepticon, chatting with Ash about the game, and I was very excited to read the book and try it out. The game is sort of a love letter ... Read more
