The Drowned Earth Creator Interview With James Baldwin




"The Drowned Earth is a world where heroes and villains risk the hazards of the wild for glorious riches and ancient technologies!

For hundreds of years nature reclaimed the earth, pre-historic monsters ruled the wilds, while the survivors of the cataclysm known as "The Event" struggled to survive.

Now a New Enlightenment has dawned, and the fragile glimmer of civilisation has begun to shine. Now the fight is on for who will control this precious knowledge."


I first saw The Drowned Earth being demoed at Salute this year and I was drawn in by the jungle landscapes and the miniature range that features dinosaurs and animals holding weapons fighting along side humans out on the table top.

I had the chance to interview its creator James Baldwin of Olmec Games about the game as well as his thoughts on the gaming industry and what is in store for the future for the game.

Atlantis Miniatures Dwarf Review.....Plus A Look At Their New Kickstarter




For those who are new to Atlantis Miniatures they are a UK based company that focuses on making high quality resin fantasy miniatures.
Atlantis Miniatures range goes from Dragons, Goblins, Orcs, creatures from Mythology to trolls and yes Dwarfs...

As I seem to be getting a lot of experience with Dwarf miniatures as of late Atlantis Miniatures were kind enough to send me a mix pack of Dwarfs from their catalog to take a look at.

The best thing about Heroquest.....



Gamers of a certain age have found memoeries of starting their journeys with Heroquest who can forget this advert!



Well during the days before ebay (yes a long time ago it feels) I picked up a copy of Heroquest for I think £5 at the time I must have been 10. 
 I remember playing with the mins and board playing my own games not to the rules as alias I had no one to play the game with as no one I knew like gaming...

After a time it went in the loft and when I went to surch for it again a few years later.....It was gone thrown out after my parents decided to clear out the loft....Nooooo...

Its now 20 odd years later and I have been wanting to get a dungeon crawler for a while. As I was in the market for this type of game I thought I would have a look out for Heroquest.

The price of the game has skyrocketed so after scouted Ebay for a while for a bargain my luck came in..

I put a cheeky bid in for a copy of Heroquest the Advanced Quest edition wth extra minis and quests and I won...

Lets just say I was eager for it to arrive..
