The Week In Gaming

RPGs

A bit of older news (from June), but Lone Wolf Development announced that the Mac version of Hero Lab should enter Beta testing sometime in this month, based on their current forecasts. Their plan is that, once the Hero Lab Mac Beta starts to stabilize, they’ll begin Beta testing of Army Builder. So AB will likely follow HL by 6-8 weeks, barring any major surprises. That means AB Mac should be released in December.

Check out the Ultimate Chase Decks from LPJ Design. The first is Forests & Jungle and contains 34 cards.
