My first rules & reference of the year is #CityoftheGreatMachine - a fun steampunk game whose theme actually feels pretty relevant these days ... www.orderofgamers.com/games/city-o...

It's a brand new year - the 14th - for the Esoteric Order of Gamers, and I'm kicking it off with a new project - #KingsofWar by @manticgames.bsky.social! Will this be your new favourite game of fantasy battles? Stick with me as I unbox, build, paint and play! youtu.be/nz1iik0Ndks

Do you like epic-scale tabletop miniature gaming? You're going to LOVE this fun, exciting, down-to-the-wire battle report! Peter and Dylan play #ARMOUREDCLASH, the alt-history game by @warcradlestudios.bsky.social set in their Dystopian Age. It's completely EPIC! youtu.be/7ySbDVawj04

After just posting an unboxing of the latest game by Tabula Games, it seems a good time to update their earlier game, #SonsofFaeriell. Someone pointed out to me that the achievements icons were wrong on the reference sheet. Fixed now! www.orderofgamers.com/games/sons-o...

The Esoteric Order of Gamers unboxes #TheLastSpell, the board game version of the tactical tower defence RPG video game. Fantasy and big pixels in a board game? Yes! youtu.be/M8Ha9hn3B-4

Another old rules & reference gets an upgrade! #SeditionWars, last updated in 8 years ago, is back in v4.2, with a clarification about the 3 types of doors, and a small fix on the reference sheet (step 3 of Strain Force Management). www.orderofgamers.com/games/sediti...

It's been five years since I updated my #CONAN Rules & Reference. But after playing it again recently I decided to add skill reference cards for every character (and make a few small fixes). Crush your enemies easier than ever before! www.orderofgamers.com/games/conan/
