ZOMTOBER!!!!

So, our friend over at The Eclectic Gentleman Tabletop Gamer has a October Painting and Blogging Challenge for zombies.  Go read it, it's really cool.  I figured myself and maybe the resident Zombie Queen ALi Alcatraz would blitz through the first month on a short timetable.... but Token Gamer Chic had other ideas....

Commission Figurine Berlin Strasse, Part I

So, a while back we pushed a lot of people to back a kickstarter from Commission Figurines, and a few months back we all got delivery. In between other work, I've managed to get the kit finished "as it comes," so time to show that off before I start fiddling with it.

Book Report: Counterblast Rulebook

Hello there ladies and gentleman (or should I say dolls and cats?), and welcome to an LXG Book review. Today we're going to get to the nitty gritty of the Counterblast rulebook from Bombshell Miniatures.

Psyche of a Gamer: The rules need to define everything!

Why is it that some gamers can’t grasp the idea of a flexible rules system?  Case in point I was just involved in a conversation where my conversation partner felt the rules needed to clearly define buildings, and other types of terrain as to their difficulty, etc.  The game system in question basically has the rules defined as “determine with your opponent what keywords apply to each piece of
