Immeron Newes 22/2/2013

Couple of Insiders this past week, one of which may end up effecting this blog....in a good way.

*First one was from Matt Goetz, the new RPG Producer at Privateer Press. He's announced Full Metal Fridays, basically new content for the Iron Kingdoms RPG every Friday starting 1st March. Depending when it actually goes up I'm thinking of covering it on the blog, hopefully on the same day with Immeron Newes moved to Mondays which will help me a bit.

*The second Insider was from Laine Garrett, covering the logo for PP's card game BodgerMania.

It is on after all!

Immeron Newes 1/2/2013

First bit of news is that Privateer Press had to cancel their Templecon live stream due to missing equipment, this is bit of a disappointment as I was hoping to watch it and then post a summary of it. Though PP is likely to post videos up on Youtube about it, so I'll just link those when they go up.

Just a single Insider this past week, namely Will Hungerford talking a bit about Streamroller 2013.
