A semi-news announcement today: Alessio Cavatore’s Loka – the Fantasy (or Elemental… tag-lines for this one keep changing) Chess game – is now available for pre-orders. #1 – What Is Loka? Earlier this year, I had the rare opportunity to interview Alessio Cavatore about his latest personal project Loka, a chess variant that expands upon his […]
This post is for those of you that have not yet dived into the world of Warpath. However, rather than go into extensive detail of every aspect of the game, I am going to give you a quick run down of the things that I think make the game awesome… This is a guest post by Andrew Brown from […]
Having missed every gaming event this year so far, and still holding a Mantic Ticket from the DreadBall Kickstarter, I headed to Nottingham for Mantic’s Open Day and DreadBall tournament. The DreadBall tournament was a blast, though I’ll keep my DreadBall thoughts for another post. However, even though I spend most of the day focused […]
Mantic’s Deadzone Kickstarter is live and will end on Sunday Jun 2, 11:59pm BST. Mantic Games is clearly on a roll. Alessio Cavatore’s Loka, which Mantic is publishing, closed yesterday with a whopping USD 104,172.-. Congratulations Mr. Cavatore!!! But Mantic Games is not about to waste any time not being on Kickstarter with something. After […]
A couple of days ago, I had the privilege to quiz Alessio Cavatore about his new project Loka: The World of Fantasy Chess. The game is still on Kickstarter (and well-funding at that, with a few stretch-goals in as well). Now, you can also try to enter a contest to win a copy of the game on […]

Talking to Alessio on Skype proved to be a fickle thing (or rather, my internet-connection […]
Competitive Warhammer 40K is a myth. It doesn’t exist. Never has. Who wins or loses a game of Warhammer 40K is not primarily determined by any intrinsic quality of the players, such as “skill” or “talent”. As a result, you cannot truly “compete” with another player using Warhammer 40K. Instead, Warhammer 40K is a very […]
It is no big news that Mantic Games is looking for the really big splash with their upcoming Warpath Kickstarter. First, to bring their game rules up to scratch with Warpath 2.0, Mantic Games hired former Games Workshop rules designer Alessio Cavatore. Now, to bring the miniature line up to speed, it seems they extended […]
There are few Warhammer 40K Codexes as maligned by fans as the 4th Edition Chaos Space Marines Codex by Gav Thorpe and Alessio Cavatore. At the risk of you never returning to read my blog, I have to admit enjoyed the book. Most of the flak it got was perhaps deserved, but it was better […]
