Patrick Stewart prägte mit seiner Darstellung von Captain Picard eine ganze Generation an Science-Fiction-Fans. Nun ist er auf seine letzte Reise gegangen. Mit 86 Jahren verstarb er nun nach kurzer schwerer Krankheit in Los Angeles. Zeit, innezuhalten für einen der Großen unserer Zeit.
Releasing an album that consists entirely of cover songs is a risky proposition. For every Renegades of Funk there’s also a Thank You. IV Studio’s Realm of Reckoning is such a perilous venture, excising slices of ingenuity from some of the area control genre’s most prolific entities. The originality and expression exist in how these…
There are two board game mechanisms you just can’t escape, they’re on everyone’s mind, flooding the discourse. That’s combat, and card draw mitigation. Everyone won’t stop talking about them. So we had to weigh in too, not just with what we feel are the best examples of games that have done them best, but some other quirky takes on them too. Before we mitigate our card draws, we talk about Rolling Deep, Eureka!, dnup, and Grinivil.

One thing a board game will never formally have, is an overture. The three hour and 47-minute epic Lawrence of Arabia begins with a four-minute piece that encompasses a medley of themes pertaining to the film’s atmosphere, setting, and characters.

Explore all the factions with your Dune v2 rules & reference!
I don’t usually draw attention to incremental updates once I’ve launched a rules & reference (though there’s a section down below on the home page that calls new ones out, if you’re interested), but this update to my sheets for the Gale Force Nine version of Dune is a biggy, adding all the variants and faction expansions to the core rules.
