Another week gone and another weekend is upon us. Here’s hoping you’re all doing something exciting with it. It even feels like Spring has sprung here in the UK. Although it’s not quite t-shirt and shorts weather yet. Anyway, here’s our weekly rundown of some of the more popular posts to keep you entertained:

  1. Table top/RPG gaming expert, Anton Kromoff,  looked at two new WizKids releases here and here.
