Today I would like to introduce you to Mantic Moments, a podcast specifically about mantic games but incorporating other games, and also about our (the hosts) experiences with the company.

That was funny, but awful. It might be alright if it was a bit shorter.

Ok then. Just giving you feedback. If that was on the start of all your podcasts, it's enough for me to never listen again.

Just sayin'. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/415760/3663841.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/415760/3663841.page GMT Mantic Moments, new podcast ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/415760/3663928.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/415760/3663928.page GMT Mantic Moments, new podcast

Well, that's true with everything in life, isn't it?

lord marcus, I did like the rest of the podcast, though. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/415760/3663940.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/415760/3663940.page GMT Mantic Moments, new podcast
Quality stuff. I liked the honest reviews of the ranges so far. And the tournament report did a lot to let me see just how the development plan for the game is going to work.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Just wanted to add something:

During the podcast, lord marcus mentioned that his undead horde came from a desert and that the ruler of his undead had managed to possess and enslave the souls of some orcs (who will show up as they are part of the same army list).

I've been playing a lot of Warmachine lately and this really made it clear what I've been missing. In Warmachine, anything that's a character is already a pre defined character. And there's not actually any real room for making up your own army or its history.

It reminded me of when I was playing 2nd edition 40k and making up my own Space Marine chapter for the first time.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/415760/3664376.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/415760/3664376.page GMT Mantic Moments, new podcast
Mantic is very open with the KoW background. They have given us borders within which to sculpt our own lands, nations, and armies with which to fight our miniature battles. Some may even become part of the official background (possible due to tournament wins, etc. Ronnie mentioned this early in KoW development)

My own work has even been featured on the site in the fan fiction section.

KoW truly gives a level of character/army creation that i have not seen from another game.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/415760/3665716.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/415760/3665716.page GMT Re:Mantic Moments, new podcast
I hope your podcast and the game grows.

It's rather enjoyable game for those who want a quick game or a few quick game or have very large battles that don't excessive amounts of time.

I just home Mantic is not stretching themselves thin by releasing 2 games already as a young company that is coming off as a "Not GW's 40k and fantasy" game.

Fabulous podcast.

lord marcus wrote:Indeed Frozenwastes. The abillity to add "allies" has lent me great creative freedom, namely soul-slaved orcs and a cult of humans. I'm also planning on adding another contingent of undead with a slight variation to my color scheme, representing the forces of one of my characters vampire generals (who has just awoken)


The allies rules are indeed a refreshing change from other games which have either pretty rigid rules about combining forces or have been actively switching away from ally rules for the last decade. I remember when 40k had them in 2nd edition and then in 3rd, there was lots of Inquisitorial allies, kroot mercs, the lost and the damned, etc.,.

It's awesome to see the hobby-first thinking present in a game again.

I'm definitely going to be submitting some stories to them for use on either their website or the new free PDF Mantic Journal. Maybe they'll actually use them.

My own work has even been featured on the site in the fan fiction section.


I'll check that out.

If you are looking for my work on the mantic site it has been giving off a 404 error, which I am looking into. However I will be posting a new piece in the dakka fiction section in about 5 minutes (after this post)

I am indeed happy about the mass creative freedom with KoW]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/415760/3822119.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/415760/3822119.page GMT Re:Mantic Moments, new podcast
