Weekly Miniatures News #28 - The Tabletop/Digital Hybrid, with Dr Tomas Rawlings
Added 2020-12-18 11:56:21 +0000 UTCBernard's back!
This week's episode is a longer one, stretching out to just shy of an hour, but I was absolutely stoked to welcome Tomas Rawlings of Auroch Digital (and a patron), who brought me news of emerging devices for hybrid tabletop/digital gaming that I found absolutely fascinating, and it was terrific to get Tomas's insight into how these could transform our tabletop experience. I start as a skeptic, but really found my enthusiasm growing as Tomas explained what could be done with products like these.
The news items this week covered:
2D6 Wargaming and 6mm Sengoku Jidai
GCT Studios, Bushido and The Brotherhood

Ooh, heck yes. I forgot Golem Arcana. A better example then Ex Illis, actually, because it was a terrific game and the reason it failed was really because it was too early for the technology.

It is still a very good and fast tabletop miniatures games with very good pre-panted miniatures in a distinct flavor of themes.
