Goofy Hats and Portals: The Rise of the Eliatropes

 I was first introduced to Eliatropes about a week after picking up the game, when R.Nav was training for US nationals and put down his team of teleporters. At the time I was still very new to the game and was too smitten with a certain bearded Foggernaut Boss to give the Eliatropes the proper time and consideration they deserved, and to be honest, I still didn’t until nearly 6 months later.

Krosmaster on April 11th, International Tabletop Day!

Japanime Games is a sponsor of International Tabletop Day, and as a result, there will be Krosmaster Demo events nationwide. For the DFW area, I'll be hosting a Tabletop Day Kroztour, that will hit three stores in the DFW area to reach out to players new & old. I'll have demos of both Krosmaster and Junior set up, as well as space for full games as well.

The Big Picture: Looking back at the 2014 Spanish Nationals

 Metagame or “meta” for short is one of those words you will probably encounter while playing any game with a competitive component to it. It’s also a word that has several meanings within any game. In most cases it refers to a strong team or strategy on either a local, national, or global level.

Discussing the meta is often a mechanism to either stagnate or stimulate growth in a community. In some cases people look at event results and take them as the absolute final judgment of what teams or strategies are good or bad, which can stifle creativity. At Lock Check we believe that while some teams are powerful, nothing is unbeatable against solid play and critical thinking and with that we often find ourselves experimenting with more unorthodox pairings. We’re not Hipsters, we’re Pioneers! With that being said I’d like to look at the Spanish National championships that have happened recently.

Bamboo Fury! Bringing the Pandawas to the Party

My name is Jeric and I’m addicted to pandas.

When it comes to those cute black and white members of the bear family, I can’t help myself. I love eating Panda Express while playing my Pandaren Shaman, Hunter, Mage, Monk, and Priest! Well, not really at the same time because I wouldn’t want any of it to fall on my keyboard and I can only log one in at a time, but you get the idea. I love Pandas and when the Pandawa started popping up in Krosmaster, I was ready for the adventure.
