Axian Spice: Free Quickstart Released for "Verdict of Valor" – The Fantasy Skirmish Game For The Miniatures You Already Have!

Axian Spice: Independent game designer Giuseppe Rotondo (notable for work with Necrotic Gnome’s Old-School Essentials, and the popular AxianQuest unofficial decks for HeroQuest) has released the free Quickstart rules for his new game: Verdict of Valor under his independent label Axian Spice.

Verdict of Valor is a miniature-agnostic fantasy skirmish wargame designed for fast, tactical gameplay without heavy book-keeping.

Key Features:

Super Portable: Play with 4 to 12 miniatures per side on an area as small as 20" x 20".

Fast Playtime: Matches take just 30 to 60 minutes.

Miniature Agnostic: Easily stat any miniatures in your collection using four intuitive size categories, plus optional edges such as Shooter, Heavy Armor, Reach, Fly, Regeneration, Burrow, Healer, etc..

Dynamic Combat: Features a tactical dice allocation mechanic and alternating single-miniature activations, balancing clever strategy with the chaos of battle.

Ultra-Light Rules: The core rules are streamlined to fit on a single reference sheet.

While designed so you can use any models in your collection, the Quickstart rulebook itself is embellished with fantastic photography featuring miniatures from Reaper Miniatures and Wildspire Miniatures. You can download the free Quickstart rules now on DriveThruRPG and WarGameVault. Check these free rules now here

Wargame Geeks: Thrackdown Open Alpha is Now Live

Wargame Geeks: Thrackdown is a free, miniature-agnostic science-fiction skirmish game for two players. It is designed around small warbands, alternating fighter activations, vertical movement and dense terrain.

The public Alpha v1.4 is now available here and includes a Quick Start Guide and rules for all six launch factions. The game uses standard D6s and any suitable miniatures and terrain players already own. Container City, our recently completed terrain Kickstarter, was originally designed to create the sort of dense, vertical battlefields Thrackdown was built around.

Modiphius Entertainment: Discworld - Adventures in Ankh-Morpork - Digest Edition Core Rulebook

Modiphius Entertainment: Based on Sir Terry Pratchett’s beloved fantasy series, Adventures in Ankh-Morpork is the officially licensed Discworld tabletop roleplaying game. Set in the series’ most enthusiastically self-interested city, Adventures in Ank-Morpork invites you to tell stories where heroism, bureaucracy, and improbable coincidence collide with remarkable regularity.

At its heart is the Narrativium system, created specifically for life on the Disc. Using the standard seven-dice polyset (d4 to d20), the rules are designed to stay out of the way whenever the story demands it. They’re fast, flexible, and occasionally optional (much like many of Ankh-Morpork’s civic regulations). Whether you’re chasing a lead through the Shades, negotiating with Guild officials, fleeing from something with more legs than seems reasonable, or accidentally saving the city, the focus remains firmly on the tale being told. Check the free quickstart Guide here

In Ankh-Morpork you’ll discover a city where every street has a story and every day presents fresh opportunities to become famous, infamous, or a brief footnote in a Watch report. So gather your companions and take to the cobbles, because in a city this alive, adventure has a habit of finding you first!

Empress Miniatures: New 1840 & 1850's East India Company Gurka's Preview

Empress Miniatures: “Ayo Gorkhali” We have some new sculpts off to the moulder soon that represent Ghurkhas for the 1840's 1850's. At this point the regiments were all still East India Company so not as well regulated and supplied as they became when taken into the post IM British / Indian Army. I think that Paul Hicks has done a fantastic job with these guys and captures in 28mm their ferocious attitude and slender stature.
