Game On!

So many things going on. Here is a quick status of what is in the Dojo gaming pipeline for the remainder of the year.

The Wretched Hivers Star Wars gaming group is in full swing. We are learning the nuances of the excellent X-Wing miniatures game and about to begin an Edge of the Empire roleplaying campaign.

WARMACHINE is undergoing a renaissance of sorts within the Dojo community. Many of us are dusting off our faction models and "learning" the game anew with some battle box games. Also up and coming around the shop is Infinity (though Jason and I jumped on the band wagon years ago).

D&D 4E is still rocking. I am running Encounters at Big Easy Comics in Mandeville. Still going strong after two years! I also am playing in Tyler and Caylon's excellent World of Allyria D&D setting. Lastly, I am running my Apple Crew through a great D&D adventure. We are all looking forward to the next incarnation of Dungeons & Dragons!

Speaking of Big Easy Comics, their Warhammer Fantasy league is clipping along nicely. Magic: The Gathering is as big as always. Soon BEC will be relocating to a larger store! More space for gaming! This will make our games of Warhammer 40,000 that much enjoyable! I am very spoiled in that I got both new codices for my beloved Dark Angels AND Eldar all in the same year! Look for posts on these great armies soon.

Speaking of game stores, check out Level Up gaming store. If you are in the Slidell area this is THE place for all your gaming needs. On the South Shore, check out +1 Gaming and Go 4 Games. Both stores have a lot to offer and are fantastic places to get your game on.

Netrunner is on deck (pun humor!) as well as Dystopian Wars and Drop Zone Commander. We have been itching to give these games a try and will soon have our chance. Also on deck is Freebooter's Fate. The campaign is winding down, but their excellent Indiegogo campaign has us all ready to throw down with our new shiny models.

Speaking of crowdsourcing, we have many Kickstarter irons in the fire. I recently received my Reaper Bones miniatures and am anxiously awaiting the Dwarven Forge Dungeon Tiles. Incursion has a starter going to help switch to plastic as well as Privateer Press WARMACHINE: Tactics video game. Pledge now!

Year of the Gear was an astounding success, and though we may have put aside our Heavy Gear minis for a while, I know once the Northern book is released, we will be quick to jump in. I know my NuCoal forces will be ready and waiting.

Finally, hopefully, this October, we can get our Mordheim warbands going again in a true Mordheim campaign. Here is hoping the third time is the charm!

Strength and Honor,

-Wicked
