Choices. We all make ‘em. What socks to wear? What sugary-sweet
breakfast cereal to eat? Where to unwind at the end of a tasking
workday (preferably on a hammock with this very issue). Each day,
the choices we make send ripples through an ocean of possibilities.
As our actions tend to speak far louder than mere words, it is our
choices that can (and do) alter our destiny, and those around
us.
Such is the premise for Wyrd Miniatures’ Through the Breach, a
story-driven, roleplaying experience set in the world of Malifaux.
But, our Cover Story is but the beginning of your journey through
this issue of GTM. As in all means of passage, there are branches
and crossroads — choices to be made. And, this month, we offer
many. Will you travel to a Galaxy Far, Far Away… and fight for the
cause of the Rebel Alliance or Galactic Empire with Ally and
Villain Packs for Fantasy Flight’s Star Wars: Imperial Assault,
battle for the future of Central City as the Scarlet Speedster or a
member of his infamous Rogue’s Gallery in WizKids’ DC HeroClix: The
Flash, or venture to Jaipur, the jewel of Rajasthan, to become the
most prestigious gem merchant in Mayfair Games’ Johari. Perhaps
you’ll try your hand at pressing-your-luck with Pairs, Cheapass
Games’ fast-playing pub game, quell the growing evil festering in
the fantasy world Soda Pop Miniatures’ Super Dungeon Explore in
Forgotten King, or weave a trail of tales (and deception) with
Asmodee’s Dixit and Werewolves of Miller’s Hollow. Again, the
choice is yours.
And, if uncertainty plagues you, perhaps our comprehensive
pre-order section and selection of reviews of Asmode Editions’
Madame Ching, Days of Wonder’s Five Tribes, and Gale Force Nine’s
Sons of Anarchy: Men of Mayhem and Firefly: The Game — Blue Sun
Expansion will grant you a bit of needed clarity in making more
informed decisions for the days and months forthcoming.Oh, and if
chance smiles upon you, maybe you’ll be the winner in the 12th
Annual Reaper Miniatures “Brings Your Character To Life” Contest!
(‘course, we’ll never know unless you choose to enter)Anyway,
thanks for choosing to read this issue! We appreciate your
patronage. Game On!
