3+ mon, 2+ day ago (452+ words) Frustrated by space battle miniature games that didn't offer a ton of options beyond 'move and shoot', Hendar23 designed CORVET, a free skirmish tabletop game that involves granular ship management. Like the PC indie title FTL: Faster Than Light, CORVET allows you to control the individual crew members piloting your vessels, having them man system, make repairs, and hopefully not die in a fire. Though the similarities to FTL are obvious, the initial germ of the idea actually came to Hendar when he was playing another fleet battle game. "The fight had descended into a clustered meat grinder in the middle of the board, as usually happens in these games," he says. He tells Wargamer he couldn't help thinking the experience would be better with fewer ships and more control. "A ship isn't just legs with a gun; it's a composition…...

4+ mon, 6+ day ago (246+ words) After that are the scenarios which together tell the story of the mystical Scions of Yaldabaoth and knightly Feudom warring over the Wheel of Mathalazz, a fragment of an ancient artefact, all the while discovering deeper secrets hidden beneath their feet. While the main mission is to secure the Wheel of Mathalazz, there are two significant side objectives. When a model interacts with them it will find an access point to an underground complex: one objective takes them through a fissure in the floor, while the other is a tunnel mouth. Going underground via the fissure in the rock brings the character out much closer to the lake, again giving them choices about what they want to do. How one of the encounters plays out actually depends on which faction the character is from: there's a mysterious presence beneath the…...
