  • James Lowder's Games to Gift 2018
    JAMES LOWDER’S GAMES TO GIFT 2018 TOP PICK: AZUL PUBLISHER: PLAN B; DESIGNER: MICHAEL KIESLING 2–4 PLAYERS; 8 AND UP; $40 (SUGGESTED RETAIL) In Azul, players are artisans summoned by King Manuel I of Portugal to decorate the Royal Palace of Evora, using the Moorish art of decorative tile. Take turns selecting colored tiles, filling rows on your work board, and then transfer a tile to your section of palace wall. The game ends when the first player completes a horizontal tile row. Scores are based on the display, with points earned for patterns of aligned tiles, number of horizontal and vertical rows, and so on. Azul features simple, elegant rules, but potentially complex choices, as you can select tiles to complete your pattern or to force players choosing after you to select pieces that may go unused and end up costing them points. Gameplay is fast, with the full session taking only 30 to 45 minutes. Earlier this year, Azul won the prestigious Spiel de Jahres for game of the year, to almost no one’s surprise. Azul: Stained Glass of Sintra is a recent reimplementation, with players serving as stained glass window designers. It features translucent pieces in place of the original’s resin tiles and some additional rules. Both versions are wonderful. OTHER GREAT NEW GAMES: Family Games: MAGIC MAZE PUBLISHER: SIT DOWN!; DESIGNER: KASPER LAPP 1–8 PLAYERS; 8 AND UP; $33 2018 was another great year for cooperative games, with the release of the latest installment in Matt Leacock’s Forbidden series, Forbidden Skies.

  • I Am, As Ever, Indebted to Visionaries Such As Greg Stafford and Sandy Petersen for the Inspiration to Throw out My DMG and Do My Own Thing
    I am, as ever, indebted to visionaries such as Greg Stafford and Sandy Petersen for the inspiration to throw out my DMG and do my own thing. Somehow, however, I circle back to RuneQuest every time. The idea for this scenario broke at the same time as covid hit us. I made a flippant comment on a RQ page online that I had accidently written a scenario about a Malian priest with nineteen broo followers… I’m calling her Kovid. Someone else suggested that I publish it on Jonstown Compendium. Much editing and re-jiggering later, here it is. Her name really isn’t important though as you’ll find out if you read on. Thanks to my ex-employers for making me redundant and giving me the time to write this up and to my wife for forcing me to build an office in the house that made writing this so much easier. The art in this one is either mine or by Mike Hudson, you can tell which is which, his are the good ones.

  • The-Herald-Of-Doom-Malcolm-Wolter
    THE HERALD OF DOOM …AN INTERVIEW WITH MALCOLM WOLTER THE HERALD OF DOOM … AN INTERVIEW WITH MALCOLM WOLTER Note: This interview was conducted in late 2012 and is ©2014 Marcus D. Bone and Malcolm Wolter. Despite being first published in 1981, it is fair to say that Stormbringer’s heyday was in the mid 1990s, when a group of enthusiastic authors took the game to new heights. One such ‘upstart’ was Malcolm Wolter, who with his layout and design talents was to contribute to numerous ELRIC! supplements during this period. Perhaps more importantly, Malcolm would also go on to publish the short-lived, but much praised, Herald of Doom (HOD), the first and only fanzine dedicated to Stormbringer. Welcome Malcolm, thanks for taking the time to talk to us here at Stormbringer!. Before we start grilling you about The Herald of Doom and your time working for Chaosium, would you care to tell us a little bit about yourself? I'm a born-again geek and the poster child for the positive influence gaming can have on one's life (I actually have that poster around here somewhere). I'm also closer to 50 than I am to 40, an anglophile (and proud of it!), and happily married to the finest woman on the planet. I live in the suburbs of the 4th largest city in America where I'm a partner in the city's largest brand-experience firm. We help medium- to large-sized companies develop and manage their brands, and I lead the digital practice. I have two daughters, ages 5 and 2, both of whom are unbelievably cute, and exhausting.
