#EpicWarpath is here and after my first game last week, I'm happy to report it's great fun and an excellent set of rules! But to make playing it even easier, here's the EOG rules& reference (also on my app #TabletopCodex) @manticgames.bsky.social

Two rules summaries in a week from the Esoteric Order of Gamers! Today it's #TheBloodyInn, a delightfully dark and macabre card game and a favourite of mine.

The last game by the amazing Prospero Hall design team was #TheTexasChainsawMassacreSlaughterhouse - and here's the rules summary by the Esoteric Order of Gamers. A fantastic little horror game and much recommended. Also on my app #TabletopCodex!

My first rules & reference of the year is #CityoftheGreatMachine - a fun steampunk game whose theme actually feels pretty relevant these days ...

It's a brand new year - the 14th - for the Esoteric Order of Gamers, and I'm kicking it off with a new project - #KingsofWar by @manticgames.bsky.social! Will this be your new favourite game of fantasy battles? Stick with me as I unbox, build, paint and play!

Do you like epic-scale tabletop miniature gaming? You're going to LOVE this fun, exciting, down-to-the-wire battle report! Peter and Dylan play #ARMOUREDCLASH, the alt-history game by @warcradlestudios.bsky.social set in their Dystopian Age. It's completely EPIC!

After just posting an unboxing of the latest game by Tabula Games, it seems a good time to update their earlier game, #SonsofFaeriell. Someone pointed out to me that the achievements icons were wrong on the reference sheet. Fixed now!

Another old rules & reference gets an upgrade! #SeditionWars, last updated in 8 years ago, is back in v4.2, with a clarification about the 3 types of doors, and a small fix on the reference sheet (step 3 of Strain Force Management).

It's been five years since I updated my #CONAN Rules & Reference. But after playing it again recently I decided to add skill reference cards for every character (and make a few small fixes). Crush your enemies easier than ever before!

Sometimes you depend ages on a rule & reference, then the publisher revises the rulebook and you have to do it all again! I've redone #FortuneandGlory v3 by Flying Frog Games from scratch - enjoy!

Triton Noir, makers of #AsassinsCreed #BrotherhoodofVenice and #VSabotage, have sadly had to close their doors. I recommend you grab these games while you can, they're excellent. Thankyou for the amazing games, and best wishes for your future endeavours!

Hey everyone, I just hit 600 videos. 600! That is a truly mindbending number of hours of work. Why not peruse the old back catalog and watch some classic ones? They're are all easily searchable on my website at www.orderofgamers.com. Pick a subject! Laugh at how I'm aging! Enjoy!
