The World Has Lost A Champion
With a heavy heart, I commorate the passing of a great knight, Sir Patrick Stewart. Pictured above in his iconic armor from Excalibur (1981). This armor certainly played a role in the design of Rogue Trader era space marine armor, with its boldly embossed pauldron. We also lost Walter Koenig this week, a well known gentleman and beloved actor. A sad week for Trek.
Some Amazing Idea
I’ve had some really great idea for a post floating around in my head, but it’s just out of reach. I’m normally either just falling asleep or just waking up and lose the thread after waking up. Pretty sure it’s something to do with Cursed City, or HeroQuest, or something else. I really don’t remember. Ugh. I wish I could because whatever I have in my subconscious seems pretty cool In the meantime, there’s a new HeroQuest set out for preorder. It seems pretty polarizing, if you listen to the internet. I’m fine with it. It’s been kind of a dream of mine to walk into a store and have a whole shelf of HeroQuest stuff on display. Character packs, monster packs, all kinds of stuff. So I’m cool with it. Sure, it’s not a huge expansion. But I already have lots of expansions to play already. Here’s some things…
Don’t Forget About Reaper Miniatures
I spend a lot of time on Games Workshop miniatures, but don’t forget about other manufacturers, namely Reaper. Reaper has a whole line of Dungeon Dwellers minis which I love for nostalgia’s sake due to acquiring Caverns of Doom at a young age. But their normal minis are pretty great too. The scale is a little smaller than GW minis, but they look pretty great. Here’s some that jumped out at me when I was at my FLGS today. Note 1: Most of the pictures below are links to the corresponding page on ReaperMini. Note 2: The minis are presented in order of least-Halloweeny to most. Here’s the “Townsfolk: Dwarven Brewmeister and Patrons (4)“. I think these dwarves are flat out amazing. Check out the huge keg. There’s a guy making a toast, and a dwarf imbibing to his heart’s content! Here’s the “Barrowgate Town Watch (4)“. The pointing figure…
What’s on the table?!
Horrified!!!! This is a fun classic monster movie game. It’s probably the most boardgamey-game that I have. It’s fun and seasonally appropriate. We played twice. We lost the first play pretty quickly, but were successful the second time around. It came right down to the wire, we only had one life left to lose. The key was to tackle Frankenstein’s Monster and the Bride first, then go after the Wolfman and the Mummy. We played with the Explorer, Archaeologist, and the Mayor. Fun night!
Darkwater Expansions
The Darkwater core box came out in time for Christmas 2025. It made an excellent gift! As a game, it seems to be somewhat polarizing. I’ve only played four times so far. I tend to get hung up on painting everything before playing too much. I thought “It’s Fine?”. It’s not a dungeon crawler. It’s not a character advancer. It’s a novel boardgame that I’d like to get on the table more. This is a complete list (as long as I can keep it up to date) of Warhammer Quest: Darkwater expansions.
