OnTabletop Weekender Ep254: Celebrating A Very Weekender Geek’mas!

Welcome to the Weekender where it's Christmaaaaaaaassss!!!!!!!

We talk about what sort of geeky ways we can find to celebrate the most wonderful time of the year, before stopping off with the guys from 4Ground to find out what's been happening with Fabled Realms. 

Our Geek's Guide To Christmas

'Tis the season to be gaming! We're all heading off to celebrate Christmas, but before we stuff ourselves full of mince pies (with brandy sauce!) we have a quick chat about the various ways we celebrate the holiday and in what way can we use games to make it even better.

Justin is getting ready to introduce his young nephew to gaming using Star Wars: Destiny, while Sam is heading to the digital realm for the age-old family tradition of being terrible at Crash Bandicoot with his dad. 

None of our families are particularly into tabletop games, so we wonder how best can we get the family together for a game without it all ending up in a Monopoly-related trip to A&E. 

News

Some pretty cool news happening in the world of gaming this week:

• The Angels of Death Animated Series - The new Warhammer 40,000 animated series coming from Games Workshop
• Rylos Space Port from Impudent Mortal - Impudent Mortal's new sci-fi terrain set
• My First Castle Panic - Fireside Games reveal a kid-friendly version of Castle Panic

Which news piece got you most excited?

An Update On Fabled Realms

Justin sits down for a chat with Cad and Ben from 4Ground to find out just what has been happening with their fantasy game The Legends of Fabled Realms.

Of course, this being the 4Ground guys, that's not all that's going to get discussed...

Kickstarters

Just the one Kickstarter today, as we look over the Dized app currently out in early access.

This app is a great idea, providing you with digital copies of board game rules, as well as interactive tutorials to help you get to grips with your new games. 

Competitions! - Win One of Two Getting Started Sets For Warhammer 40,000 OR Age Of Sigmar

For our last competition of the year, we have quite the Christmas present as you could be in with the chance of winning your choice of a Getting Started set for either Warhammer 40,000 or Age of Sigmar.

Also, three prize winners for last week have been announced in our Prize Claim Centre.

First, we have the winner of the Tanks! The Modern Age starter set from John's game against Freddie. Then we have two winners from last week's Weekender, one getting their pledge for TMS's 9th Age Quick Starter Armies Kickstarter, and another winning a 6x4 table of 4Ground's Dark Age terrain. 

Merry Christmas, and have a great new year of gaming!
