The Weekly Nerd Review – 01

On to gaming, Tabletop Gaming!

Minatures:

Pre-orders are open now for the next wave of the X-Wing Minatures game. The next pack includes the Imperial Raider (Pictured Below) and Hounds Tooth. Whether you play the game, or just enjoy Star Wars the quality of these are high enough just to keep as shelf candy in your man cave. I like the fact that as a collector, these are not prohibitively expensive. Even though they are being developed for a game, the pieces are properly articulated and good looking enough to just keep on a shelf. Sure, they aren’t studio scale, high res crazy models like the ones you can pick up from EFX but for the average fan these are more than enough.

Pre-orders are also open for the next expansion of Pathfinder Minatures: Dungeons Deep, personally I am excited for the red dragon. Here is the list of minis that will be coming out in the case. That Dragon Tho:

The final expansion for Dominion is being released, If you are a fan of the game, head to your local shop to pick it up.

Random Kickstarter Pick for the week!

I was perusing kickstarter and this made me chuckle. I don’t have space to keep this with my traveling gaming pack, but if you play lots of dice games at home then Cthulu will always be with you.

Notable events this weekend:

Saturday is Free Comic book Day! Head to your local shop and pick up some materials!

Monday is May the 4th, International Star Wars Day. As nerds, geeks, fans and lovers of the franchise, I urge you to watch, play or participate in something Star Wars related. I’m going to head out to the forks with some friends and swing some lightsabers around. :)
If you are around the city on May the 3rd, A Muse N games is hosting a pre-star wars day extravaganza! The River City Jedi and 501st Garrison will be there and the store will be hosting every table top game based in the Star Wars Universe.
