As part of this week's Cult Of Games XLBS, we chat about our plans as TerrainFest 2023 comes to a close. Gerry talks Babylon 5, Shay talks 40K, and Warren talks Starship Troopers as the guys go full-on Sci-Fi this week and they love it. We take a look at some terrific community work before Gerry needs to get something off his chest about crowdfunding and how it is now perceived.
Ben dives into five tips that might help you have a better hobbying and painting life when it comes to tabletop gaming. Do you have any tips that you find really helpful for just making your life easier?
At OnTableTop, we've often pondered on the best ways to get into Historical wargaming. We even did a whole Cult Of Games episode about it. After mulling it over for a while and muttering about the toss-up between the Dark Ages and World War II, I think I've come down on the side of something entirely different. What about the Wild West?

Ben talks about diving into the grimdark and how you can enjoy yourself with the hobbying and gaming side of things! Not only is there a lot of freedom to be had when it comes to painting but you can have a lot of fun when it comes to the types of scenarios you can play out.
Ben poses a question that I'm sure a lot of wargaming hobbyists have thought about over the years. So, make sure to dive into the comments and share your opinions on this one. Why do we wargame and what made you into a hobbyist?
Warren talks about getting stuck into bringing laser-cut terrain into the home. See what Warren makes of the xTool D1 Pro 10W for cutting out his first every laser-cut gaming terrain.
How do you ensure that your campaign is not just a series of loosely connected battles but an engaging, memorable experience for everyone involved? We thought we'd have a look at some key ideas that seem foundational to making an excellent wargaming campaign.

After seeing and playing a few games of Combat Patrol, Ben discusses how this might actually be the best thing Games Workshop has done for Warhammer 40,000 in years. Is it a great entry point into wargaming in the Grimdark Future?
You're all set to dive into your favourite wargame, be it Warhammer 40,000, Bolt Action, or anything in between. Yet, even with the strongest units and the most meticulous plans, your endeavours consistently end in disaster. What's going wrong? If you've ever faced this, it might just be your deployment strategy that's letting you down.
We've talked Sci-Fi worlds we'd love to see on the tabletop but what about Fantasy? Ben dives into a book series he REALLY loves and discusses some ideas as to how you could bring Joe Abercrombie's The First Law and more to the tabletop.
We have games for the worlds of Star Wars, Star Trek and plenty of those big hitting Sci-Fi worlds but what about some lesser-known ones? Have a look at three worlds we thought would make for fascinating miniature wargames.
In this week's Para Bellum Spotlight Companion, Gerry sits down with Konstantinos from Para Bellum Wargames to discuss the City State of Lycaon. A territory that is as militaristic as they are devoted they cut a fascinating swathe through Eä for Conquest: The Last Argument of Kings.
In this week's Cult Of Games XLBS, the team returns for a Sunday morning catch-up where brother Lloyd is finally allowed to show off his Balearics that he was whipping out in public in between being the filling in a com spot sandwich!
It's OTT Weekender time! The team is back from Salute and ready to get stuck back into business as usual. The big news that has caught Gerry's eye is SIXMOREVODKA has been quietly prepping their Primal Punk world of Degenesis for the ultimate in post-apocalyptic tabletop miniature wargaming.
With the recent news about Wizards Of The Coast and the OGL, I thought I'd have a look at some alternatives for those who want to give a tabletop roleplaying game other than Dungeons & Dragons a go. Please, drop your own suggestions in the comments!
Ben dives headlong into Alan Bahr's newest roleplaying game, Crescendo Of Violence, and gives his first impressions of this Neon Noir roleplaying game. Have you ever read a set of rules and gone "man, I NEED to play this"?
Today is World Mental Health Day. So, we're encouraging you to share and talk today about mental health and how the tabletop hobby might have helped you. By sharing our experiences, together we can end the stigma. Hobby brought us together and as a community, we can help to support each other.
Ben offers up his first impressions on another of the awesome roleplaying games from Osprey Games. Could you be tempted by Mark Galeotti's Clockpunk world of Gran Meccanismo?
In this Content Creator Interview, we get a quick chat with James "Oriskany" Johnson who helms the Sitrep Podcast and has been designing games and scenarios for a range of wargames for years.
