I am, admittedly, not without sin here, but I have noticed a slow degradation of those features over the past few years.

Seems like they might go back to what they did at the top of 5e where they contracted out work to publishers like Green Robin and Kobold Press and then release them under their official branding.

Of the (as of this writing) two world wars, the second one gets move coverage. The good guys and bad guys are defined more clearly, the media is exciting to watch and many of the games are considered classics. World War I is messier on all sides thanks to a newfound efficiency of human butchery...

The best way to do this is to pick up core books of the miniatures games after they've moved on to a new edition (which happens fairly). You can usually find them for very cheap, they are packed full of lore and the pictures of the miniatures are gorgeous.

The Warhammer brand is one of the few gaming IPs that has a similar cultural cache to Dungeons & Dragons. It has decades of lore that span multiple games and eras of the world. Celebrities have started to discuss painting (or neglecting) their armies. When Games Workshop released the Warhammer...

This is the biggest strength of the game. You hear the pitch and your brain immediately crystalizes your weird hero concept without hearing anything else.

The 80’s remain one of the last times of weird wonder in the world. It’s a time when kids on bikes could find a secret pirate ship hidden below their town. A time when a teeanger could hang out with a mad scientist and have time travelling adventures. Game designer Rev. Joey Royale taps into...

That was more or less the premise of the WEG Indiana Jones game. "Oh, Indy's too busy right now, let's send in the B-team on this one."

I can only speculate they decided to not ship outside the US because dealing with people upset over that decision is easier for them than figuring out where is and is not a good place to directly ship product.

From what I've heard, it's how lost packages eat into the slim profit margins of gaming books. If you need to send three copies of a thing because the first two didn't get there, that's incentive to not send things there via international post. Better to wait until it gets to distribution where...

I have heard differently, but the key phrase missing here regardless is : for now. That could change between the time the KS ends and the books. Even if tariffs don't apply directly, they've added a layer of economic instability that's been a gut check to a lot of people in the industry. The...

It's unclear if they do or don't. Some companies have paid tariffs for books on the water. The books are likely not printed in the US. If they are imported to a warehouse here, then sent out to a backer, the tariff is paid by the publisher. Even if they are printed in the US, the current...

International shipping is a beast in normal times. In an era of Penguin Tariffs, I can see why a company would prefer not to risk direct shipping to fans outside the US.
