Monsterpocalypse Comic Releases Fall 2008 http://www.wargamingforums.com/testblogging/monsterpocalypse-comic-releases-fall-2008/ Fri, 16 May 2008 23:28:52 +0000 http://wargamingforums.com/?p=431 Raven's AvatarPrivateer Press has issued a press release about their upcoming comic miniseries focusing on Monsterpocalypse.  It is reprinted below.

Privateer Press and Across the Pond Studios have teamed up to create a new comic miniseries, published by Desperado, introducing the world of giant monsters from Privateer Press’ upcoming Monsterpocalypse Collectible Miniatures Game (CMG).

Across the Pond Studios is working closely with the game designer and creator of Monsterpocalypse Matt Wilson to bring the world of the game to life on the comic page. In addition to creative direction from Matt Wilson, the series credits include story by Stephan Nilson (Smallville and Batman Strikes), script by Jason Avery and Stephan Nilson, pencils by Karl Waller (X-Men and Motorhead), inks by Rick Bonilla (Atomik Mike), coloring by Barry Williams (Atomik Mike), and cover art supplied by the Privateer Press stable of artists. 

This is a great way to reach out to comic fans in addition to gamers thereby expanding the game’s base.  PP is further expanding on this in two ways.  First, people who collect issues 1-3 of the comic will be able to get a FREE Limited Edition Mega Sky Sentinel.  This method has been used by PP before in conjunction with No Quarter Magazine and Warmachine (limited edition Eiryss).

Secondly, anyone who goes to the San Diego Comicon in July can get a FREE issue #0 of the comic at the Privateer Press booth.

40k Tourney + More @ Total Confusion XXII in Mansfield http://www.wargamingforums.com/testblogging/40k-tourney-more-total-confussion-xxii-in-mansfield/ Thu, 21 Feb 2008 03:59:32 +0000 http://wargamingforums.com/40k-tourney-more-total-confussion-xxii-in-mansfield/ For the past 22 years the TotalCon has been providing gaming fun for New Englanders. All the major games, past and present, have made appearances at TotalCon to the delight of thousands of gamers. 40k, WFB, Warmachine, Dungeons & Dragons, Hordes, Confrontation, Starship Troopers, B5: A Call to Arms, all the clix games from Heroclix on and the CCG/TMGs from Magic and Yu-gi-oh to Axis & Allies Minis and SW Minis.

If you’re in the gaming field and you are in New England you go to TotalCon. It is simple as that and this year will be the 22nd consecutive year of its running. There will be a lot happening at TotalCon with a many reasons why you should go. The tourney will take place Thursday February 21, 2008 and end on Sunday February 24th. There’s a lot of registration options available to people but admittance tickets start at $30 for all weekend (Adults), $15 all weekend (Youth), or you can buy a ticket for a single day. Thursday and Sunday is $5 (Adults) and $2.50 (Youth) with Friday and Saturday costing $10 (Adult) and $5 (Youth). We have made the Registration Form available for all of you to download and use.

It is back to back 6 rounds with RTT rules, pop quizzes, judges can mess with your minds…intense battle for bragging rights and large prize! A $20 registration fee covers all of that for the all day and into the night tournament.

Robby Roadsteamer to Release Acoustic The Most Pretentious Album Since Axl’s http://www.wargamingforums.com/testblogging/robby-roadsteamer-to-release-acoustic-the-most-pretentious-album-since-axls/ Tue, 19 Feb 2008 02:39:49 +0000 http://wargamingforums.com/robby-roadsteamer-to-release-acoustic-the-most-pretentious-album-since-axls/ I’m sure that the title of this article has befuddled the regulars. Maybe you did a double take to make sure you’re at the CWF Game Cast where we discuss gaming…not music. Yep, the URL is wargamingforums.com so you must be in the right place. Then, why are we talking about Robby Roadsteamer and a CD release?

Ever since our podcast in 2006 we promoted anything local. We promoted local game stores, local gaming groups, local gamers, and local musicians. We’ve promoted Chester French, which started in Cambridge and have since been featured in the HBO hit series Entourage and are now signed by a major label. We’ve promoted Matthew Ebel who has created original compositions for Ikea, Bud Light, Crayola and local podcasts like the Manic Mommies. We are now happy to promote Robby Roadsteamer who is a regular on WBCN at night with Hardy.

Robby hit the Boston music scene running and received wide coverage on VH1 for his hit single I Put a Baby in You, which is one of my favorite songs he’s done. He is now stunning everyone by releasing yet another album, his 3rd in 9 months, and his 2nd acoustic project. The album is titled The Most Pretentious Album Since Axl’s, alluding to Axl Rose.

This album will be shared at Great Scott’s in Allston on February 25th at a CD listening party. If you’re at least 18, available 8pm on the 25th, and have $8 you must head to Great Scott’s and hear Robby’s new album. To commemorate the occassion we are proud to share his official trailer with you. Additionally, Robby will be featured, with his permission, in our Music to Game By segment on Thursday’s podcast. We will play a song from his previous acoustic album LRP for you.

[youtube]http://youtube.com/watch?v=Di67rD_v3K0[/youtube]

Robby has a unique style blending his love of 8-bit video game systems, aka the NES, mini-golf, Boston, and music. I dare you to find another musician like Robby who loves doing what he does as much as he does. You can always get more information by going to Robby’s official website at Roadsteamer.com. Plus, you can hear Robby co-host WBCN with Hardy on Wednesdays and Fridays starting at 7pm. Be sure to send him some great Instant Feedback. Last but not least you can buy Robby’s albums at Newbury Comics, on iTunes, or his online store.

By way of disclaimer I must state that I am a member of Robby’s official Streamsteamer team that helps to spread awareness of his musical talent. I have not received any compensation for writing this article and my involvement with his street team has not influenced me to write this article.
