GARPA 37 – GrogHeads Advanced Research on Projects Advisory
This week’s GARPA? A few nifty KickStarter projects, and the pre-order of a reprint that’s kicking butt.
Magazines
Ares Magazine (One Small Step)
$18,200 of $25,000, Ends 3 February 2014
Remember Ares Magazine? The guys over at One Small Step sure do, and they’re bringing it back. They’ve got a KickStarter project to, well, kickstart the printing and distributing of the new magazine. They promise to include a game in each issue, and the first issue is a War of the Worlds-inspired alien invasion of London. You can also pick up the fiction-only version of the magazine, if you’re interested in saving a few bucks and skipping the game. But hurry – time’s running out on the campaign, and they need some help to get over the final hump! Head over to KickStarter and get your pledge in now >>
Board Games
The Hunters – 2d Printing (Consim Press and GMT)
278 Orders on p500 – Not there yet
This well-honored game from Consim Press – it ran away with two categories in our Readers Choice Awards – sold out the first printing rather quickly, and demand for a second printing has been building. Take command of a U-boat and patrol your way to glory through the dangerous waters of WWII. It’s a solitaire game, so you always have an opponent, and take its inspiration from the venerable B17 Queen of the Skies game for the feel of the game the designers were after. It’s on p500, and with a successful print run already under its belt, it’s unlikely to need 500 orders to make the cut, but it cold still use some nudging from y’all to move it along, so hit the p500 page and make your pledge today >>

2014 GrogHeads Readers’ Choice Awards – Voting
ed note: After the shutdown of Twiigs.com, our polls disappeared, so you’ll see a lot of headers, but no polls, on older Readers Choice posts. We’re using someone new now, so perhaps the older polls will still be visible.
We solicited your input all year long. We asked – nay, begged – for your nominations for the best in gaming throughout 2013. The polls that follow are your polls, that let our readers vote on their own nominations. Don’t like the choices? Hey, we’re already looking for nominations for 2014’s best in strategy gaming.
Now – getcher votes in! Tell your friends! Come back at the end of the month to see who wins!
Tabletop Games
note that we got absolutely no (zero, zip, zilch, nada) nominations for any miniatures games
Tabletop Wargame of the Year
Tabletop Strategy Game of the Year
Readers’ Choice Call for Nominations
Gentle reader, it’s that time of year again. We’ve actually had open nominations for Game of the Year for the better part of the year, but now as the year approaches its end we want to reiterate our invitation to nominate your favorite games for final voting.
Remember: if a game isn’t nominated it has no chance of being voted upon. The editorial staff may – might – could possibly – remember to add your favorite game as we peruse the list, but don’t count on it. This is, after all, a readers’ choice award, not editors’ choice. As a reader, it is incumbent upon you to put a game’s name in the hat for consideration.
Nominations for digital games can be made here: http://grogheads.com/forums/index.php?topic=4393.0.
Nominations for tabletop games can be made here: http://grogheads.com/forums/index.php?topic=6732.0
Forum registration is required to nominate any game, and registration will be required when voting commences.
