1+ day, 22+ hour ago (478+ words) Prismatic Evolutions" Pok'mon cards are always hard to get, but right now, they"re below market price - perfect for a Black Friday treat! While it's not my favorite of this year's Pok'mon sets, its toughest chase cards are magnificent, making it easily one of the strongest picks for those who feel lucky. The various Eeveelution SIRs are some of the most beautiful, breathtaking singles of the entire Scarlet & Violet era, and there's even more hits to be had with the Master Ball reverse holos. It's a rather difficult expansion for the Pok'mon TCG - both getting it'at all, and in terms of pull rates for those pesky SIRs - but when you get one, it's unspeakably exciting. There's no shortage of brilliant chases to hope for in Prismatic Evolutions. Umbreon ex #161 remains the expansion's most coveted pull, with the SIR keeping the…...

1+ week, 6+ day ago (533+ words) Studio Midhall's new Beast RPG is a dark, 5e-based odyssey that even creeps out Forgotten Realms creator Ed Greenwood - so let's take a tour. He's also evidently fallen for lead artist Aron Midhall, to be honest. "It's a bromance," Midhall admits, "but the bro is silent - it's a romance". Throughout Sims' involvement, they say they've riffed directly off each other, with Midhall painting Sims' story creations, and Sims inventing new people, places, and even rules concepts directly inspired by Midhall's paintings. "The work between us is the most fun thing I've ever experienced," Midhall says. We love to see it. So, what have this happy pair created together? Let's venture into the Beast universe. It's a "very harsh, mysterious fantastical world, where the constant threat of titanic, almost godlike beasts impacts every waking moment of human life," Midhall says. "We…...

2+ week, 4+ day ago (371+ words) The Strike Team house rules for Warhammer the Horus Heresy are so indie they're sitting in a Google document, but they're already impressive. You can download it from Google Drive here. According to Hazel's introduction, "The game initially started as a Trench Crusade total conversion and still borrows from that system (especially in regards to some of the earlier missions, and campaign progression which people seem to like), but now mostly uses the main Heresy 3.0 ruleset with some poached mechanics from Necromunda". The biggest rules changes from third edition Heresy is replacing the I-go-you-go turn sequence with alternating activations, and tidying up the loose ends this creates around reactions and the morale phase. The rest comes from the general expectations of how you'll play - it's geared for campaign play, and campaigns themed around pretty desperate battles. The game uses the…...

3+ day, 2+ hour ago (433+ words) For the nerds who like to keep playing board games after their friends have gone home, Final Girl is a must-have " and it's now on sale. There are plenty of board games with an optional solo mode tacked on, but very few are designed with single players in mind. That makes a quality solo title like gold dust to the lone gamer. If, like me, you enjoy a private board game session, you shouldn't sleep on the Final Girl series - especially since the core boxes are 24% off at Amazon US. Final Girl is a series of thematic horror games where you face off with a movie-style slasher. Its action system, powered by dice and drafted cards, is adapted from Hostage Negotiator, a previous solo board game published by Van Ryder Games.
