I've said it before and I will say it again, I love RPG boxed sets. Which is why I was very excited to hear that Free League Publishing has released a Tales from the Loop Starter Set, a beginner box for roleplaying in the 80s that never was.
While I wouldn't go so far as to call myself a Furry, over the years I have found that I dig many games with anthropomorphic animals in them. The latest anthro games I've had the chance to play is Animal Empire, a "take that", negotiation heavy, empire building, card game from Down Under.
I am a big fan of dexterity games, specifically flick based dexterity games, and I love to see something new being done with the flicking mechanic. That's what we have here in Flick Wars. Flick Wars brings flicking and dexterity to wargaming.
Orléans: Trade & Intrigue is the second expansion for the bag building board game Orléans. This expansion for Orléans does not require the first expansion (Orléans: Invasion) to play. It contains four modules that you can add individually to your games of Orléans.
Exotica is the second expansion for the deck-building card game Eminent Domain from Tasty Minstrel Games.

I have been a fan of laser based games going back to Laser Chess on the Amiga. When I first heard about Roll For Lasers, a new roll and write board game, I knew I had to try it out.
I have been a fan of Talisman The Magical Quest Game since first discovering it back in 1983. I am also a long time fan of DC Comic's Batman. When I heard that The Op had mashed these two things together and created a Batman version of Talisman called Talisman: Batman Super-Villains Edition, I knew I needed to try this game.
