Paizo and Dynamite partner for Pathfinder Twitch charity marathon

October 11, 2017 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The big press release from the two companies says that the Pathfinder, Worldscape and Starfinder marathon kicks off off tomorrow, October 11th, at 11am Pacific Time on the Official Paizo Twitch stream. The only problem with that is tomorrow is the 12th. I’ve taken a peak at Twitch. Right now in Paizo land there’s the […]

Geeknson for gaming tables

October 9, 2017 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Facebook hit me up with an advert for geeky gaming tables. Sometimes people get their targeting spot on. The only catch – these tables aren’t cheap. You’re getting a table built for you. On the other hand, Geeknson say they’re Europe’s top manufactuer (and ship to the US) and I sense can bring some economies […]

Find out all about Starfinder, quickly

September 3, 2017 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

One of the big successes of Gen Con 50 was Paizo’s Starfinder RPG. It sold out every day, often in hours. The game is set in the Pathfinder universe and space. It’s not a sci-fi but a Science Fantasy. Is it a reskin of Pathfinder? Nope. There’s more to it. RPG YouTube channel Taking20 put […]

Tor Gaming shutting down

August 27, 2017 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

In the very same week as Spartan Games closing Tor Games is also closing. Tor made the Relics tabletop miniatures game. Relics was all about having a small model acount, being able to play on 3’x’3 tables and having an unrestricted force composition. The problem? Increased competition by way of Kickstarter funds and market glut. […]
