Some of you may have seen our previous article about Sedition Wars and some of you may just be tuning in now. For those that don’t know Sedition wars is a project by Studio McVey. The main people behind the studio are Mike and Ali McVey who some people may know from Mikes time with GW or their time on US soil working with Privateer Press back in the day.
Studio McVey recently released a set of alpha rules & cards for people to try out and see where the game is headed. there are three factions so far in the game each with a unique look and background. the initial play test is meant for two players to match up and duke it out.
The game uses a 2d6 mechanic similar to warmachine where 2d6+modifier vs target number = success. One main difference is that any six you roll may be then re rolled and the new number added to your initial result as well. As for the gaming area it will be a grid based system and there is a plan for an interlocking tile set once the game is released.
The Alpha rules and Cards only have information on the Vanguard and Strain but it definitely will give you a good sense of where they are headed with this game. So go take a peek!

In September Wyrd Miniatures will be releasing their new game Puppet Wars which is a board game for 2-4 players and using cards and miniatures similar to their first game Malifaux. A game should take 30-75 minutes depending if your wanting a small quick and dirty game or if your using a full toy box of models.
Malifaux as usual has the rules up on-line for free, as well as a set of game maps that you can use for playing or can even edit yourself which is quite a nice.

Unhallowed Metropolis is the gas-mask chic role-playing game of Neo-Victorian horror.
It has been two hundred years since first the outbreak of the Plague, when the dead rose to feed on the flesh of the living. Countless millions perished in the chaos that followed. It was the dawn of a new dark age.
London, the capital of the Neo-Victorian Empire, is a vast, densely crowded city. Beneath the towering walls and crackling Tesla towers, where the fallout of a thousand crematoria darkens the streets, ten-million souls live in squalor. Predators, human and inhuman, stalk the slums and rookeries, preying on the unwary and the helpless.
Beneath the haunted streets, resurrection men and body snatchers hock their grisly wares at blood-stained meat markets. Their clients are degenerate ghouls and amateur anatomists who practice the outlawed science of reanimation.
Driven by an insatiable hunger for immortality, physicians search tirelessly for the elixir vitae, the fabled alchemical solution that promises life eternal and a cure for the Plague.
