Following on from our overview of the Imperium, we’ve had more than a few of you asking for a look at another of the Great Powers of the Dystopian Age, the Imperial British Crown and her Dominions.

Warcradle Studios Diary
At Adepticon this year we announced Lost World Exodus, the exciting sister game to Wild West Exodus. While the game is due for release after Dystopian Wars next year, we promised that players would be able to see the first releases for the game from this year. So how does that work?
Visuals are really important to people when playing a tabletop game, especially one with miniatures. Often just as important as the models in a game is the table and terrain to match them.
One of the strengths of the Dystopian Age setting is that it allows us to expand and develop concepts in ways where it simply wouldn’t be necessary for a single game. To illustrate this, let’s take a look at the mighty Imperium, one of the eight Great Powers of the era.
Here at Warcradle Studios we love miniatures games, board games, roleplay games and, of course, card games! So when we saw an opportunity to develop an expandable card game set in World War Two, we leapt at the chance.
Ever get the feeling that something strange is happening in town? Is there a weird fishy smell? Are all the locals wearing oversized clothing and manipulating objects even though you can see that their hands aren’t moving? I guess it’s time we look closer at another faction for Mythos, our forthcoming 1920’s horror skirmish game…
It's wonderful being able to develop so many rich and varied properties in the studio. With Dystopian Wars there has been an opportunity to dive deeply into the various cultures that make up each of the Factions and draw on them in new and interesting ways.
Greetings my excellent friends, my name is Jim and I’m currently working on several projects here in the Warcradle Studio, one of which is the most triumphant Bill & Ted’s Riff in Time board game.
The cosmic horror of the unknown (or unknowable ) has inspired a wealth of role-play games, board games and miniatures games as well as the novels, video games and even television and movies that riff on the ‘ancient horror’ genre. So when we had the opportunity to further develop Mythos as a tabletop skirmish game, we knew that it had to continue to be something special and distinctive, incorporating not only this cosmic horror flavour of mythology but also the creatures and mysteries found elsewhere, all given a suitable Mythos twist!
Starting from this week we are going to produce a regular series of Studio Diaries which will draw back the curtain a little on what is being worked on!
