We spoke at length to Ronnie Renton from Mantic Games about Hellboy The Board Game, which is currently crushing it on Kickstarter. Of course, technology being what it is, we don’t have Ronnie’s audio. Apart from the very end bit. So instead, Ian, Chloe and Peter valiantly rehash the best bits of the conversation - just so you, the listener, don’t miss out.
This week I talk to James Hewitt formally of Games Workshop & Mantic, but most recently stepping out with his own company Needy Cat Games. I am not going to list his works, we talk about those during the show but what I will say is that it is fantastic to see him forging ahead with his own company and my biggest take away from the chat is that James is a great bloke and he is highly thought of by a great many people within the industry. One final thing about James is that his most recent work, Hellboy by Mantic Games comes out onto Kick Starter next week, from the 25th of April 2018. It looks really really good, and no doubt with James behind the wheel in terms of rules direction it is going to be a fun game. If you want to know more about hellboy after this show then go back and listen to episode 57 with Ronnie Renton, we talk about it more in there. We wish it every success.

This week I talk once more to Ronnie Renton of Mantic Games. I spoke to him back in episode 44 about his personal history and some of the things that he was up to at the time. He is a great character so I thought it was high time that I chatted with him again to see whats what. I do enjoy mantic games personally, and we talk about why in the show. It was great to hear about some of the great things upcoming from them in 2018.
In this special early release show I talk to Mr Ronnie Renton about all things Mantic. Ronnie formed Mantic about 8 years ago and over that time he has produced some cracking games. What initially drew me to Mantic was the ethos behind the games. As we discuss in the show I have found Mantic games to be very reasonably priced and are also very welcoming, they are not overbearing, they ease you into the action and make the game fun and ingratiating. Mantic currently have an active kickstarter. For the next 5 days until the 17th of November 2017. They are running a project for Kings of war: Vanguard a skirmish game based int he fantasy setting in kings of war. If you have not encountered Mantic or Kings of War before then I encourage you to go and check it out as it offers a great price point for making your first steps, especially when you factor in the stretch goals.Vanguard Kickstarter:https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1744629938/kings-of-war-vanguard-the-fantasy-skirmish- wargame?ref=nav_searchMantic Website:http://www.manticgames.com
