Ever looked at a miniature game outside your usual hobby circle and thought, where do I even start? In this series, we step outside our normal coverage to explore tabletop miniatures games we don’t usually talk about and break them down for curious players. Each episode gives you the nuts and bolts of a new system—from the setting, factions, and playstyle to core mechanics, hobby requirements, and what you actually need to get a game on the table. Whether you’re miniature-game curious, hunting for your next obsession, or just enjoy learning how different systems work, this series is designed to give you a clear starting point without the overwhelming time commitment to looking into a new game. Each episode we'll explore a new game with a fresh perspective but the same love of dice, strategy, and painted plastic (or resin).
