    RIP Vernor Vinge

    I remember picking up some of his books from a second hand store when I was a teen and struggling the first few times I tried to read one. Then one day it clicked for me and I plowwed through the rest of it. So many of this ideas and worlds could have had dozens of books set in the yet he wrote...

    Star Trek: Infinite

    Theme alone in a grand strategy game makes it a buy for me. Looks like it's more or less just a reskin of Stellaris, which is a tad disappointing but it doesn't appear to be overly expensive either, while being more developed than a mod would be. One thing I like is starting in an existing...

    Expeditions Vikings (RPG)

    I came across this game the other week and really enjoyed it. It's a sequeal to Expeditions Conquistadors, which was a kickstarter a few years back. Seems to show a lot more polish because of it though it's probably still a bit simplistic compared some of the big rpgs out these days but it has...

    Pandemic legacy (spoiler free)

    Pandemic Legacy: Season 1 Pandemic Legacy: Season 2 I thoroughly enjoyed the first season, so much so I played through twice. Second time with a group of 5, which worked fine. Started with 2 extra funding to make up for the extra difficulty. So if you've been put off by player count, don't be...

    Soccer 2017-2018

    A new season is upon us and already it's shaping up as one of the craziest, at least in terms of spending. Already some huge transfers have been done and it looks like many more are on the way. I've no idea if this works for other coutries and teams but I use Soccer news, video highlights...

    Gloomhaven

    (trailer is from the kickstarter but it's already been produced, with a 2nd printing due sometime this year) Finally got to bust this out and play it properly on the weekend and really love it so far. It had sat on my desk unboxed for over a week as I worked out how to organise it and play...

    Kickstarters

    Figured we could have a thread for Kickstarters. Here's the latest one I'm interested in: Seems to be a hidden role game, aka resistance, set in the world of Euphoria. Haven't played the original game it's based on so not sure how good its mechanics are, but I love resistance and own...

    Seafall (No spoilers?)

    Latest legacy game, described by its designer as a cross between Pirates of the Caribbean and Indiana Jones. I was really looking forward to this game for ages but the early reviews turned me and my gaming group off it a bit. I found myself in another group to play it though and so far I'm...

    Star Trek Ascendency

    This game looks really cool, like a 4x set within the Star Trek universe. Only issue I have is that it's only 3 players at launch which limits it a lot imo. It also appears to be quite pricey. But definitely something I'd love to play sometime.

    Stellaris

    I could have sworn there was a thread on this already but might have just been mentioned in another one. Preoders are available now for a May 9th release. Looks like a 4x game but on a larger scale than you get in Civ. If this has half the depth of EU or CK series, it's going to be fantastic...

    Con Man

    Con Man | Indiegogo Not sure if it's worth a thread since it's still in the crowd funding stage, but guessing a few people will be interesting. The concept sounds pretty awesome, in the same vein as Galaxy Quest, which I love. Normally I hate crowd funding stuff done by fairly successful...

    Whiplash

    Because it deserves its own thread! I was really surprised by how much I enjoyed this. Never thought I'd find jazz drumming so fascinating, though it's more about the characters than the topic. Great performances all round.

    Ascension

    I'm still pretty dubious about Syfy but it does seem like they are making more of an effort to get back to science fiction. This looks like it might be interesting, but mostly I love that it's a mini series, so hopefully it won't be drawn out too long.

    Dracula - NBC

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dracula_(TV_series) I liked the pilot. I like the setting and the style they've used for the show. Interested to see how they balance between real science or pseudo science, or even a touch of steampunk. I'm happy with any of them, as long as they stay...
