This collection of Star Wars models were part of the Battle of Hoth game played out at the UK gaming covention Salute 2015.

Well Met in Lankhmar: A Review of Lankhmar City of Thieves
While it might seem a simple task to create a setting supplement for a game that shifts the focus to match a book, TV show or movie, it isn’t. I mean, I’m not saying there isn’t any effort involved, but you could just slam a major synopsis down, along with some episodic notes, and that […]
10,000 years of art inside the Kromore RPG
I was pleased when RAEX Games took Kromore back to Kickstarter. The game looked good and the revisions promised to take the game in the right direction.
