Why I like Piquet and how it’s played, over at Olicanalad’s Games. If you were ever curious about the specifics of Piquet or what sets it apart from other rules, this is the post for you.

November 25, 2009How to Host a Dungeon
November 3, 2009I guess I never posted about it here, but Mik has my back, covering our very fun world building experience with Dawn of Worlds. When I stumbled across How to Host a Dungeon, I was reminded of that and went ahead and picked up the PDF copy for $5. It’s less interactive than Dawn of Worlds, being more of a system which generates a random fantasy dungeon, but does so via the chronological history of the region. I haven’t had a chance to play it yet, but it looks fun.
Trouble at Peterson's Mill
August 1, 2009Land War in Asia has posted Trouble at Peterson’s Mill, a game report for the very fun PKowboys from Piquet. I didn’t realize that PKowboys had been out of print for as long as it has, but I met the author, Jeff Grossman, at Historicon, and it sounded like he had some ideas fermenting for a second edition– you’ll note he left a comment on the post stating the same thing. With any luck, I hope to be able to playtest these rules and contribute to getting a second edition out!
Warlord, 2nd Edition
May 20, 2009I own the original Reaper Warlord rules. I always thought they looked intriguing, and I own a lot of Reaper figures anyway, just because of the quality, but I never got around to playing them. Now, with the upcoming release of a second edition, maybe I will.
Warlands
March 8, 2009Mik posted a game report of our recent Warlands night. We played two games and had fun with it. I intend to get some forces and play some more. There are also videos of two moves with rams and shooting. I may follow up and post more thoughts about it, but I’m tired and busy. Basically, I thought it was good and fun.

February 25, 2009Two Hour Wargames has updated their Chain Reaction rules and released them for free. There are some really good ideas in there, everybody should check them out if they like modern skirmish gaming.
