It's that time of the month again!

"Erwin Rommel just got the assignment of his life, leading the invasion of Poland in operation Polandfeldzug. Unfortunately his world is turned upside down when a plot to overthrow the German government led by Oberstleutnant Claus von Stauffenberg results in the death of the entire German high command. Undeterred, Rommel returns to Berlin to prevent civil war only to find that the Führer, along with the rest of the high command, is not dead, only… changed into anime characters. Instead of leading a simple invasion of Poland, Rommel is stuck trying to prevent the world from descending into utter chaos as the Anime-Führer runs Germany into the ground at every turn, blundering at everything from military strategy to diplomacy. Make friends (mostly enemies) at the most pivotal moments in history, from the Battle of Stalingrad to the Invasion of Normandy. With five potential Waifus, you’re guaranteed to have fun on multiple playthroughs as you try to prevent the inevitable shenanigans that ensue." Uhh... Thanks? Japan.

I like wordplay and Ion Fury stands out as on obvious band-aid name in comparison for me.

TBH the Amazons had me at "combat penguin". I'm on the fence on this game though, there's a bunch of thing about it I find appealing (and Michiel van den Bos is always a big plus), but OTOH I always have the same grievances with 4X games and most factions aren't my cup of tea. Plus I know AoW 3 let you mix and match races with leader classes and that's missing here? I'm not sure if that's good or bad.

I can't express how idiotic the whole iron maiden situation is.

A friend of mine is wondering how you gathered that much material?

Maaaan, Necromunda sure turned out different than I expected!

Slowly making my way through Witcher 1 (and then the others) while waiting for Cyberpunk. The game aged a lot better than I expected, it's still playable with minimal headaches.

Come near, come far, gather 'round for Oner's Bazaar!

CDPR is independent with big money. Obsidian has always relied on publishers, and it's publishers who do the marketing. Because they publish. For those interested, the new edition of the PnP RPG, Cyberpunk Red is getting a jumpstart released around GenCon, which starts on the 1st of August.

My group occasionally plays DnD too, but we either play our own game or sometimes fan modules our GM played at a local con and those have to be edited by him cause they're full of holes. Said GM likes this blog, you might find good ones mentioned here: http://beyondfomalhaut.blogspot.com/
