Yep something new on the tabletop and I don’t mean the figures or the scenery, what’s new is the rules! I was playing a first playtest of some new rules I have been working on, this time I am trying something different, not Spaceships, not Ironclads and not cars, this time I am doing a complete [Read more...]
