At the risk of stirring up (again) the proverbial hornet’s nest, I felt the need to share these two recent pictures from Apple (or rather, from Chitika) on the use of the iPad vs. alternative devices. Why? Simply because it is a discussion that keeps coming up in talking about Games Workshop’s bias for Apple’s […]
The Kickstarter for Golem Arcana – The Digitally Enhanced Miniatures Board Game – funds for half a million US$, at more or less the last minute! The game – Golem Arcana – isn’t truly my cup of tea (from what I see), but the campaign for it shows wonderfully that it is worth fighting for […]

Games Workshop has released Talisman Prologue, an app for tablets and smartphones based on its old Talisman board game (now produced by Fantasy Flight Games). Games Workshop has dealt out licenses to various smaller app and tablet-game developers, so it is about time that the first of these games are rolling in. Unlike Games Workshop’s […]
Here is an interesting new kickstarter-campaign. I do smell the potential for controversy here. KR-Multicase, a manufacturer of backpacks and carry-cases designed specifically for miniatures wargaming, is now on Kickstarter with a pitch to develop a free app (for the iPhone initially). #1 – What App?
