Your one-stop shop for everything gaming (and some things nerdy). Whether RPG or board games, cards, both TCG and CCG, dice, miniatures, and everything between.
Honestly, the Sevens rules should be included WITH the Sevens pitch. At the $45 cost. That, at least, would be respectful of the players and they could still get their insane markup.
Thank you. You saved me like $2500 and I couldn't for the life of me think of a way to make one of these tables. I made one this weekend for about $500. Just bought a super cheap 65" 1080p tv and a cheap Facebook marketplace table. It rocks!
A great video, I feel like a flat metal mount would be easier than building a case out of wood for it, and lighter too. What I was really hoping to take out of this despite the accurate title was how you casted your maps to the screen. What device you used and which programs.
They've had problems with delivery since some time during Mk II when they switched to printing in China, and just never went away. The Iron Kingdoms started as a trilogy of adventure modules for D&D 3rd edition. Pre-Warmachine. Later they printed up a bunch of stuff for 3.5. THEN their in-house RPG came, and it was sadly undersupported. Yes, they did several supplements, and a weekly free thing on their website. But the web download frequently got buried in all the other announcements on their blog, and they never finished it by covering the non-human kingdoms of Cryx, Ios, and Rhul in the bug hardcover they were supposed to get, and Eastern Immoren got one (comparatively) tiny softcover on the Skorne Empire, the Monsternomicon for IK RPG was pathetic compared even to the d20 version, and they never covered the southern continent like they promised, either. They also never fixed the problems with integrating warjacks into IK RPG (they worked very well in d20, on the other hand). Then they wrecked WarmaHordes - not just rules-wise - with Mk III, trying to move to a different model for books, then abandoning print books entirely, and now no one could follow the storyline, and you were out money when you realized you had to print a new set of stat cards every time you played, since all the armies were getting constant tweaks and updates. Then the Harrowing or whatever it was called happened, then a couple of weird games came out, and before I knew it they were trying to hawk a far future warcaster game set on a spaceship after the whole Iron Kingdoms solar system blew up or something. It was confusing. Then along came this product and Mk IV amd I thought we'd get an update to the original setting finally, but I decided not to get Mk IV when I found I could not use my $12k of existing miniatures, and I missed out on the 5e books.
MTG is not pay to win, it's pay to compete. You can have the strongest deck in modern, and you'll get rolled by a guy playing merfolk if you don't know the match or how your deck functions.
I've been using this sort of indoor/outdoor carpet to cover my gaming tables, since around 1995. This stuff is nigh in-destructable as a table covering! The first carpet piece I used, received an upgrade: original had a line pattern in it, the new piece (still in use today) had no patterns whatsoever; I used the lined, original piece to cover my steps in my garage -- it was pristine after 15+ years of gaming use. I also used faux leather (vinyl) from the fabric store. Mine was burgundy in color. My Ping Pong Tabletop was hashed, so I used carpet tape to connect the two vinyl pieces needed to cover my 5' x 9' tabletop. I pulled the vinyl just taught, securing it on the underside of the table with furniture tacks, on all sides. It served me superbly, for many a year. When I retired that table (replaced it with a carpenter-built custom gaming table), I removed the vinyl for other projects. Both the vinyl (faux leather, comes in a wide variety of colors and patterns - looks like expensive leather...) and the carpet are extremely wear-resistant. You cannot go wrong with either choice! Cheers!
It's another channel I saw before..... great job. Looking at your produced videos, It was interesting to see how this channel has evolved last three years. thank you
Use laptop to TV with HDMI cable, use OwlbearRodeo to display maps free, can scale as needed, Add fog of war to show just what players see as they advance, you can add Spell teplates, and tons more, it has lots player and Owlbear apps useable in it.
Would've been nice if the lightning would've been better. I would also present the result in the beginning of the video to show people, what they're going to see.
Im quite happybto keep playing Mk2 WarmaHordes until PP proves by a significant amount thag Mk4 is worth playing. I did the same with GW (sticking with 7th Fantasy and 4.5th 40k). At least some of Mk4 changes sound intriguing though like buffing battlegroups (harkening Mk1 vibes), semi-tailoring spell lists and some measuring clean ups like 1" melee and how blast/sprays work. I never had a problem playing deathclock even with lists that had tons of order of operation intricacies....but that was also part of the fun was getting my own knowledge/experience of my army and decision making more efficient even under a crunch. Ill be keeping my eyes out for Mk4 news, still bot a ton on youtube even almost halfway into 2024 though 😔
Looks interesting. I’m looking for a wargame/boardgame that has minis and isn’t too complex but also fun. Perhaps Memoir 44 is it. I wonder if there any games similar to this one?
This was extremely helpful, unfortunately they've changed some things around since you made this video, so idk where to download the homebrew things, but other than that, this video undoubtedly prevented a lot of confusion, Thanks!
Thank you so much for your concise and clear explanation! I'm busting this out tonight for the first time. I think it's going to be incredible. I'll let you know how it goes... cheers man from Oregon!
A criticism that could be made for this game is that the timing of certain triskel cards is a bit ambiguous. A case in point would be the counter card Geis.
Thank you for this nice review. Only one thing to say, please get rid of the strange music noise thing in the background. I much rather listen to what you have to say than some, for me, disturbing music sound.
Your design has no ventillation. All the heat from the TV is trapped in the box. A friend of mine made a design much more open than what you did and did not use any active ventillation like I suggested he did... his TV died after 3 gaming sessions. TVs are not designed to be operated lying down, and they are designed to exaust heat from the top. When you lay it down, the heat has nowhere to go so the TV overheats.
This sort of set up is very common, I cannot speak to the overheating you mentioned by my 8 year old 55" tv has been working for over a year laying down and being played on just fine.
I have a few Folded Space inserts that are very good but I wouldn't call them cheap but they do a good job. Also for some games I have the Gamegenic token silo which are fantastic but are probably about $10-$15 but they have different size compartments too. Great video.
