KICKSTARTER (In more ways than one): Dreadball All-Stars - Mantic Games

Hail Mighty Rollers of the Dice Gods,

Our friends at Mantic Games have let us know about their brand new kickstarter which went live last night and runs through to 11pm on Thursday 9th April 2026.  Beware, get your coaches hats ready, prepare for epic Orksomeness (well we are Juggernauts Fans) as Saturday Nights will never be the same again.

Designed by Blood Bowl creator Jervis Johnson, veteran games designer Alessio Cavatore, and acclaimed artist Stefan Kopinski, Dreadball All Stars will give you sixty minutes of non stop carnage as mega‑corporations bankroll brutal entertainment for the masses.

“All Stars is like a full-contact version of NBA Basketball, with lots of opportunities to score, and just as many opportunities to flatten the opposition!”

- Designer, Jervis Johnson.

Which to be honest is our way of thinking.  We're not much into the scoring aspect but hey, if the other team is incapacitated already, you may as well get a point or two.  lol

Each game is played in one of four unique arena's (our favourite is the Battle Royale) where your six players seek to gain the adoration of the crowds by scoring and maiming as legendary players, each build their career, as you learn to master their quirks, their skills and tactical advantages.

Sign up now to avoid disappointment as its already hit its goal and charging headlong to the launch date, ready to roll.  With various pledge price points, that'll grab your attention and our personal favourite of the All in Upgrade (which is there at £199) it'll have you with everything available and ready to roll for a good nights krumpin. Lets get it on.

All the best,

ThunderMouser.

MINIATURE SCENERY DESIGN: Dark Dungeons - Dark Fantastic Mills

 

Hail Mighty Readers and Followers of the Math's Dice,

Our friends at Dark Fantastic Mills, who have been really sneaky and teasing tasters of what they've been working on the last few weeks, have revealed it all upon their website for you to order right now.  If you love dungeoneering, are looking for something delightful for you to send your party into and best of all you can piece it together to fit whatever scenario you have planned.  Whilst its not currently available as an STL, it is something that will definitely help make your live play way more fun.

Available now in their webshop you can purchase it either as one giant set or by piece whilst allows you to tailor it to own personal taste and with so many options, you really will be sending that party way into the depths, just make sure they have plenty of health potions or a well rested cleric.  lol.

Ideal for games like Warcry (or as I plan to use it as a way to have fabulous 3d terrain for D&D as well as Warhammer Quest (the original now the new Dark Water), there are so many options that you'll be spoiled for choice.  (I am also planning on designing my own card set for each piece so that each time my players enter a dungeon they're designing it as they go along as far as their torches can reveal.  Its definitely going to be pretty epic.

Finally add to this the other wonderful design pieces from their Necrosia sets as well as their Death Temple Kickstarter and you have one hell of an epic option for everything to happen within.  We can't wait to game.

You can also keep up with them via their podcast available here.

All the best,

ThunderMouser.

WARGAME NEWS: Half-Distance Mode Now Available on Army Forge! - One Page Rules

 

We love to play wargames and at times space can become really tight and you feel that you can't get a game in at home.

What One Page Rules announced today, means that things can be a little different and you can have a ton of fun at home without worrying about not having the table space.  Here's what they had to say:

Sometimes it' s difficult to find one of the recommended 6’x4’ or 4’x4’ tables to play on. But with the newly released Half-Distance Mode in Army Forge, you can move your minis from the game table to the kitchen table, living room table, or more! Using the salt and pepper shakers for terrain, however, remains optional. 

Originally released as Kitchen Table Games in the Advanced Rulebooks, Half-Distance mode lets you play on smaller tables by simply halving all the distances used in the game. Movement is 3 inches by default instead of 6 inches, all ranges are halved, and all distances in every special ability is also halved. The OPR Team uses this mode of play frequently, including at our most recent all team meeting in Lisbon last year.

But we found that having to do all the math in your head, while easy to do, often slowed the game down or was sometimes forgotten in the heat of the moment! With the option now built into Army  Forge, our free web app that supports all of our games, playing on a tiny table will be a breeze! 

All you have to do is turn on the option in the Game Settings menu and all the math on your units will be halved automatically!
