The new Ganesha Games’ kickstarter after 9 days is with 312 backers and $24091. So we are with 4 stretch goals reached and another one only $1000 away. The big news is that the project is EU friendly by an English caster. But this must be still officially announced. In the meantime you can see here which dwarves miniatures are available in the kickstarter. If you like them pledge here: https://t.co/UGHXgXAO5E

We need a name for the Advanced Song of Blades and Heroes game world. The name must be original and suggestive. It can be a made-up word, a portmanteau, or a word in a long-dead language that sounds cool.

Your entry should be sent by email at andreasfiligoi@gmail.com with the subject GAMEWORLDNAME typed in all caps. One entry per person. Text of email should include the street address of entrant so we know where to send your prize.

Send your entry by August 25th.

We will put together all entries on SurveyMonkey and run a survey through September 10th, 2015. The name with most votes will be officially used in all Song of Blades and Heroes and Tales of Blades and Heroes books.

Winner will receive a free, signed paperback copy of Advanced Song of Blades and Heroes and a signed, full-color character illustration original painted by Andrea Sfiligoi.

In the meantime, the kickstarter is more than $22000 with 265 pledgers.

Back from the past! It was 2012 and we were in Switzerland at the Paolo’s marriage. During a visit at a castle we found, inside a large number of showcases, an exhibition of flat tin soldiers which were owned by the former landlord. While I was viewing old photos I found them, so now I show them to you. But remember, it is only part of the exhibition. When you speak about the number of soldiers that you have got, you are never sure…

Instead, for the days of that holiday, go to:

Galleys and Galleons is a standalone set of naval wargaming rules based on the Song of Blades engine. G&G allows players to fight out fast-paced naval battles without cluttering the table with charts or unnecessary record keeping. Easy to learn, fast to play, as usual. Each player commands up to 6-7 ships. Fleet games are possible with multiple players per side. Additional rules cater for mythical beasts, submersibles and more. Includes rosters for 36 historic vessels plus numerous shore forts, monsters and more. You can buy it in pdf format here.

To identify forms of the mycotic infection spread by international postal services, we are showing some examples with these mug shots. You can find the “book” form and the “miniature” form, here in a huge colony of heavy weight. Beware! Don’t pick parcels!

I heard some voices about the start of a mycotic infection that will spread by international postal services during the June and July months. This disease will strike by means of fungus cultures based on these materials: lead, resin and paper. Beware!

Where have I seen this arena before? But it is a Playmobil arena! Instead of the full ring, here there is the choice to represent only the idea of the arena, building the scene for the play, utilising only three pieces for the walls and one piece for the terraces. The final aspect is very good, thanks to an added elliptic amphitheatre terrain and to a fine paint work. Easy to store and to transport. A further advantage is that with this system you have a lot of spare parts from the Playmobil set to built at least two more arenas! For a better view of the arena go to Fort Bastiani blog.
