On The Table: 2013 Season Six Round-Up!
January 2, 2014 by warzan
In This Episode
We hope you all had an awesome Christmas and got plenty of great games to use on the tabletop! With the New Year now firmly taking control it's time to have a quick look back at what we thought were some of the best games from the show in season six and give you another chance to view their magnificence.
We'll be covering Wargames, Board Games, Card Games, Role-Playing Games and even some of the awesome Kickstarter projects that should be delivering to backers soon in a bumper long show that dives back into a very, very cool season.
Some great board games have come out like the tense Letters from White Chapel and the awesome Firefly. The seriousness of those games is combated with games like the brilliant Space Cadets and in wargaming, Infinity, Darklands and Flames of War to mention just a few.
What was your favourite gaming moment from 2013 and what are you looking forward to this year!?

Ooooo a mystery I love a good mystery
Sounds very intriguing! 🙂
Mystery prize – sounds very interesting. Hope its not coffee creams left over from christmas.
Coffee creams??? WTF?!!!!
mystery prize! oh plus you know wargames talk and stuff…
comment for the comment god!
Mystery prize = Hawaiin shirt in any one of three festive colours 🙂
Looking at the Fit Club thread, Justin’s is in danger of going unclaimed 😉
My Achtung! Cthulhu books arrived right before Christmas and they are awesome. If you liked the first ten minutes of the Hellboy movie then you owe it to yourself to get the PDFs at the very least!
Mine too….seriously awesome
Warren, you look darn cheery in the pic for the mystery prize… Haha!
Sign me up for the Mystery prize
Ahhhh, too many games, not enough time or money to buy them all!
Must stop watching videos on the internet and get back to painting something. Maybe 5 minutes. Or 10.
Yeah! Mine’s the Hawaiian shirt!! oh yeah….
Thanks for another season of On the table – my only wish is that it continued all year!
Mystery prize!!!
X X
O
yes!!!!
Nice roundup of 2013!
It’s a shame google won’t allow me to comment on videos (why oh why did they have to change all of it, wasn’t it fine the old way when you can just simply comment in the box, now you have to give them your name, link it up to an account, etc., what a load of….)
Anyway, i hope i can win this one through here!
It’s funny, I read that list of games as ” get a second job”.
Scary how many games I got into this year because of BoW videos. Did I say scary I meant awesome. Keep up the good work guys.
Looking forward for a new year with tons of awesome ks but hopefully more of the ones that we already supported, in my case Dreadball, Deadzone, Kingdom Death and Raging Heroes. And the best for you guys! I hope you decide to do a series for Deadzone like you did for Dreadball, maybe a one day tournament/campaign with prices and all recorded with mounted cameras on the tables will be Da Mindblow ( i just can stop daydreaming either sometimes :P)
love the gaming keep up the good work
very good recap….
Mmmmm… Mystery. Sign me up please!
A mystery prize could be anything!
It could be a new game not yet released.
It could be all of Justin’s head razors from 2013.
It could be the “privilege” of painting Lloyd’s armies.
It could even be a boat!
Good episode, it is nice to have a recap of the best games of this year.
The mystery is how did Sherlock actually stage his apparent suicide… 🙂
Free stuff is free stuff 🙂
Give me a mysterious happy ending! erm…
That sound you can hear is the BoW staff moving all their stuff somewhere safe before it becomes the mystery prize.
Awesome job guys – thanks for all the great vids!
Best wishes, and you can send the prizes to Holland.
A mystery? This could be really cool, or you get plop trumps, lol. I’m in.
Good recap. So much for taking a couple weeks off, huh?
I have most enjoyed seeing the updates from infinity and Fireforge, especially as to how I could use the models for the Crescent and Cross supplement of SAGA, oh and sign me up for a mystery prize!
Mystery is always good 🙂
Sad to see the show end on the start of the new year but now I’ll just be more hyped for its return!
I like the wizard of oz.
can’t wait for your coverage over the coming year!!
keep up the good work 🙂 lots of good stuff
The mystery prize is very mysteriously looking to be of mystery proportions…where is that last episode of the gaming table creation….where are the play sessions of more bolt action…where are the painting tutorials…where are the girls of beasts of war 2014 calendar?
Nice roundup! An epic mystery price!? That got my attention for sure! I’m in! Enjoy the break and use it well to bring us all some more great content!
Very cool, sign me up for a comment…..
I’m down for a mystery prize. 🙂
I got back into miniature gaming roughly a year ago and thanks to BoW I am already knee-deep in minis from several games. Probably too many. I should take it easy and hold off for a bit…
Except for DZC since I got the 2 player starter for Christmas…
And Jugular, which I’m dying to see after finishing up the Spartacus series…
And the next SAGA supplement…
And KoW…
But all of those aside I’ll be done I swear…
The Pathfinder card game looks interesting… I would love to win this and write a review, for both solo play and multiplayer games!
always like a surprise… well as long as it doesn’t surprise me, then its scary…
Ah another great year for the hobby.
OOh a mystery prize
wondering about the mystery prize
Great show as always guys! It’s funny how many more comments posts get when there’s a prize! LOL
Great review to the year but surprised to see Mars Attacks! And not Deadzone after the most successful kickstarter campaign ever for a UK based company.
Sign me up for the mystery prize thanks
Warren, how many times did you change Tshirt this episode ?
I love the game play of Firefly and I enjoyed the releases from Corvus Belli.
Great show and as always the prise must be also great !
Sign me up !!!
Count me in!
Want 😉
Achtung Kersplung Mystery Prize
I’m up for a mystery prize!
That was a nice conclusion to this season, I wonder if the same could be done to initiate the next season.
Bring on the mystery!
New Years Resolution – play more games!
Keep up the good work guys and have a Happy New Year
as long as the prize isn’t that tin of Surströmming they wanted Justin to eat
is it Toyah???
Can’t wait for the next series to start. Nice work guys.
I love a mystery me!!
Mystery Machine, full scale?! Zoiks!
Good re-cap of the year in board games. See you all when you return.
Top games this year.
X Wing, Infinity and In her Majesties Name. Looking forward to more Infinity, Dreadball and fingers crossed a copy of Deadzone with all that lovely scenery.
Top job gents.
I kind of forgot how much 2013 was an absolutely awesome year for gaming…
Mystery games, oooh intruging!
Never stop doing this show!
Ooh I wonder what the Mystery prize is… and what the new year will bring.
I definitely saw a couple of things I need to revisit
Thanks for a great year and may the next be even better
Thanks for a great breakdown of the year in war gaming, there is now at least 3 more games I want to try now……….Bugga :/
Wow, I missed some of these!
I must go down to the game store in penance…
Love the round up guys!
Love a mystery.. As long as it’s not a murder we are getting :).
Sign me up!
Have to say, if the last few days is to mean anything, i’m gonna die this year 😀
Pledged to journey, how couldn’t I? Sexy is an insult to that goddess of a game. So much so I can’t think of a better word.
I’m now needing to look into whitechapel. Looks good, and with FFGs behind it, all the better. My wallet is tearing up as I type.
Never been an RPG man, but i have developed a bit of an interest, would be good at least to see one in motion, get a feel for how things work. Might still turn out not to scratch an itch but at least satisfy a curiosity.
Anyway would be nice to win something for a change but good luck to the participants and depending on the prize, i’ll be one of many looking with green tinted eyes 😉
+20 comment of wantingtheprizeness!
2013 was great… for kickstarters taking my money…
Happy New Year guys. Hope it’s a good one.
I must also say, hurry up and get back on. I’m seriously missing the Weekender.
ooooo mystery prize please please dont be turkey
Great episode … Lots of cool stuff this past year …
And by the way : Happy new year to each and everyone of you 😀
Long live BoW
I’m always up for a good mystery!
Looking forward to dark heresy 2nd edition
mysteries often turn out to be great, so sign me in 😉
Thanks guy’s great episode. Happy new year and all of that.
So much gaming goodness…can’t wait to give Firefly a spin!
Yay for prizes
Great season. Looking forward to the next
Fantastic episode as always, I did pledge on Journey, was easilly the most exciting prospect for 2013, I pledged on Mars Attacks as well
Nothing like a prize to get a barrage of comments lol
COmMENT!!
you turned me on to Infinity this year , cheers….
Beastsofwar clipshow, woo!
dang it… a surprise prize and we won’t find out for months…. man the suspense will be building!
Fun to watch as always.
Happy New Year guys – Looking forward to seeing what comes around in 2014!
A mystery prize, you guys sure know how to start the year off right!
Tabletop, board game, or card game oh yesss…. alien and monsters and cthulhu oh my!
Wow, surprisingly no mention of a lot of Coolminiornot games. And they put out a lot albeit delayed games, board and miniature games.
Mystery! what?
Tell me tell me tell meee!
I have to know!
Mmmmmmmmmmystery Prize! I’m intrigued!
really enjoyed the show this year
kick starter part was always really helpful hey
Nice recap of the year. Nothing like a mystery to peak the interest.
last time i got a mystery prize it was underpants from mum
Another long slog between shows. Sigh. Almost time for the weekender.
Seriously Warren?? That’s some hang over! How much did you have to drink???
Alternatively :….. have a game of Blood Bowl which this Dread Ball game is obviously a rip off of.
Good thing you’re allowed to say arse on BOW! hahahahaha!
Happy new year BoW! I’ll take more of everything please! My personal favourite of anything posted up this year was the demo game of Bolt Action, which has since seen me embark on a 28mm WWII city fight table project, along with Wehrmacht and Soviet armies. Can’t wait to get my first 4’x4′ lot of terrain done. Urah!
Ooh the excitement! I can almost make it out through the hangover.. 😉
Mystery prize! Woot!
Happy new year, good luck with all that’s before you in 2014
Mystery prize is always win!
I do hope to see more Dust stuff in the near future!
i bet the mystery prize is something for infinity!
oh me wants, me wants… 🙂
wish you all an awesome year…
Great show and Happy New Year!
Happy New Year
I wonder what the Mystery prize could be? Its not going to be Battlefleet Gothic stuff since they only give out nice new things. So much I wanted to buy still but no money…
But what ever it is its going to be solid. Shipping liquids can be tricky.
is the mystery prize the location for all my odd socks? That strikes me as the biggest mystery! How is it possible to lose so many single socks?
Ooooh mystery thing 🙂 Good year for gaming, thank you kickstarter. Nicely recapped.
Could it be a play on words, as foretold by the soothsayer Toyah…
“It’s a Myth-tery… it’s a Myth-tery!”
Only hoping – already waiting for my massive April delivery!
mystery..mystery…. I wish this would be my first prize/win/mystery goodie ever…. and “ever” is at this point over half of my life expectancy… Good luck to all and may the luckiest bird win.. 🙂
2013 was an interesting tabletop year. For my taste too many kickstarters (especially from the “big” companies).
My personal favorite 2013 was the Dropzone Commander 2 Player set.
I still think Dropzone Commander is one of the best ever boxed starter sets.
So long and thanks for all the fish 2013.
2014 Onwards and Upwards BOW!!
I think the mystery prize is a re-gifting of Plop Trumps!! 😛
Cool show, hope it will continue after the well deserved break 🙂
Great show, guys!
Help me there is a troll in my but, only more on the table can tempt it out.
Please put my name in the hat,…. thanks
Yay for Mystery prizes… Here’s to Season 7 guys.
Some really great moments from 2013 there. Especially WWX as the backers have just received there KS stuff. They have also been releasing monthly models and community models will be making an appearance very soon. 😀
Anyway, off I pop, Lawmen to stick together for the painting contest on WWX forum. 😉
awesome year and an awesome show thank you
Mistery…I like it!
Gotta love a mystery prize
Free stuff? Free stuff!
Bloody Kickstarter has cost me a fortune, 21 backed last year!
While I’m not sad to see 2013 go it was a great year for wargaming but I’m hoping 2014 will be even better.
Thanks for a great season guys, can’t wait for the next one.
I love mystery prizes… time to get out my deerstalker. No where is Watson.
Made a New Year’s resolution to paint my ever-growing backlog of mini’s, so watched this with a coffee and a set of Mantic Dwarves (they weren’t paying attention though). Good round-up as ever 😀
Gonna miss this show while it’s gone. Don’t pause for too long.
its elementary dear Watson
Awesome , Free stuff ….*rolls Dice* ……..Come on Daddy needs a New Wargame…
Btw , Kinda figured you would have mentioned DeadZone. Finally got mine up and painted and its a longer play than usual
First of all Thank you, I will shoot you a message of how it went. I have to say most of my Christmas requests came from a list I created because of this show.
My new years resolution is to stop moaning that i never get to go out and play games, and to go out and play more games.
2013 was an exciting year for gaming, thanks for all your coverage and special themes weeks!! Here’s. Looking forwards to 2014!!
Kingdom Death would have been a cool game to mention. It’s so popular nearly every figure is already sold out, and the game isn’t even ready yet!
liking the look of space cadets
Nice rundown of the years best offerings. Some sweet games in there that I need to try.
Thanks
I go for a mystery prize just hoping its not a bumming like the last one
I love a good mystery prize!
Theres been too much new shiny stuff for me to buy this year. Winning some of it would solve that problem.
I like mystery’s , hope i win
Warren you didn’t state your person favorite game of last year? What was it? Also Happy new year.
And again i pretty much would like most of it, good recap 🙂
Impressive number of bleeps Warren. Keep Justin busy 😀
Great stuff as always lads. The industry is just getting better and better!
Mystery just adds more fun to these things…
I will use this comment to vent my anger at Christmas’s Dr Who ep….
sign me for that mystery prize
I hope the mystery prize is a pet Baboon.
Lords of War is looking good… 🙂 Loads of good stuff in this one…
Jinkies, I do love a good mystery
Your great guys, thanks for another season!
Can’t wait to see what the mystery prize is!
winning a mystery prize would be a great way to kick off the year!!
Thanks for another fantastic season. Bring on 2014…….
Lords of Water deep, space cadets and 7 wonders are a few of my favorites…Journey is the only game that i have backed in kickstarters and I cant wait to play it. BTW a mystery price? jajajaja really cool I love surprises!
FREE STUFF!!!! being laid off work, it is the only way I’ll see any new games for a while.
Is the mystery prize that Warren and his family will spend the rest of the winter at your house to avoid the cold?
i do love a good mystery
Great stuff guys thanks
“It seemed to me that a careful examination of the room and the lawn might possibly reveal some traces of this mysterious prize.”
its a mystery!!! keep up the good work guys. great content and coverage on ALL things gaming. will continue to follow in 2014.
so what do people think the prize is lol
Really enjoyed the coverage for 2013. Was very, eventful in many ways but also entertaining. Hope to see much more
Ooh I like a good mystery prize give away. ….
Is that you’ll belong to beasts of war to do Warren’s bidding, like paint everything or be his dice monkey.
mystery prize!?
Great clip show, can’t wait until next season
Mystery is it?
Well I shall have to solve it!
(hopefully)
By winning the draw!
(hopefully)
Many thanks for another great season!
You guys have a good break, and looking forward to the next season.
And finding out what that mystery is all about…
What a brilliant year for us gamers. Deadzone just before Christmas and Galaxy Defenders/Rivet Wars on their way. As ever, great show.
Mystery price? sign me up too.
Excellent year in review. Thanks!
i got dreadball of my wife for Christmas but now want dreadball ultimate looks amazing!!!!
Happy New Year!
Warren has an Impressive number of T-shirts in this vid, about 10
Looking forward to a new year…keep up the good work.
I hope the price if the firefly game ord dropzone commander starter set. It would be EPIC!
Spunk?
Here’s to another year of BoW! Glad you guys survived the move(s) and keep on kicking. You all are the heart of a lot of gamers, your un-bias reporting and showings bring many people together, and open up a world that some people didn’t even knew exist. Happy to see everyone still doing well, along with what they love, and hope you enjoy many more years of it!
oooh mystery prize gimmie
All hail the script writers!
Keep up the good work.
love to see all this season of on the table ^^
I’ll sing in for the mistery prize ..
hoping to win another good “on the table” season^^
I wish to all of BoW club a good and happy new year
Happy New Year BOW! Ya’ll know me from the dreaded THON SONG but I have a confession to make….. I didn’t paint a single miniature or play a single board game or war game throughout 2014! I know I know! I didn’t mean to swear at you all! What can I say? DJ’ing Hip Hop every weekend Friday and Saturday as well as holding down my 3D design job eats up a lot of my down time and resources but I owe a big thanks to BOW to keeping my interest alive throughout 2013 with amazing content and passion for the hobby. I check the site every day at work (don’t tell the boss!). I promise to do 2 things in 2014 though, get back into the hobby and retire the THON SONG! I got MANSIONS OF MADDNESS and ZOMBIES!!! still to unwrap the cellophane from so i’ll start there and if your in Leeds war gaming……. I will be bringing my MORTARION demon prince scratch built model to a table near you soon. Keep up the amazing work BOW. I’ll keep watching.
Throughout 2013 I meant! Doh!
Interesting i wonder what it could be.
Well a nice rehash of the past year. Nothing spectacular. But I do like the sound of a mystery prize.
It could be anything a mini, a game, a saucy pic of Warren in his unmentionables 😛
Ahh the possibilities.
Pass me that free stuff hehe good work as always
Yay, mystery prize!
Great overview as always, keep up the good work guys!
Mystery is the prize!!
I want the mystery price ^^ !
I’m loving this new golden age of gaming myself, and I’m looking forward to more of it’s awesomeness.
what, no more On the Table until the next season ;(
Just give me some stuff, please!!
Nice show, as usual!
Woot woot, me me!
Oooohhhh. Is it a real life death star ?
Thanks for a great year. This was my gateway show to beasts of war and I am thrilled by all the content.
I like this 2013 retrospective! I missed a lot, and it’s nice to be able to sit down and see what the year gave us.
DeadZone looks and plays awesome. Cant wait for mars attacks game from mantic those guys know how to make kick ass games!!!! 2014 loooooks GOOD!:)
It all looks good!
Great compilation. I spent far to much on Kickstarters last year… AvP, SoB, Bones 2, Darklands, Mars Attacks…. Sure I’m gonna have a load of fun when it all turns up (hopefully my wife will forget what I’ve spent by then lol)
Great round up guys!
Nice recap- things I’d missed, things I’d forgotten, and things I cant wait for..
And every single Infinity looks amazing, i’m just so unsure of the game mechanics I cant justify the plunge :/
sign me up for the mystery prize
Things are looking better and better in the gaming world, at the moment. Just wish I could find time to RPG as I miss my tentacly Cthulhu goodness
Ooooh… A mystery…. Of the best kind; with free stuff…. I sure hope ther’s mini’s in there!
as long as its not one of those murder mystery type games. 😉
Awesome comment for an awesome prize?
i cant wait to get the fire fly game.it might just be what i need to get my wife into gaming .we are both huge fans of the series.
Can’t wait till next season.
Good recap. Hope the new year brings even more on the table.
Mystery is a good thing!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great season of OTT. I thing Geek and Sundry helped get the word out about our little hobby this year.
Note to self…… Must get back in to Call of Cthulu.
Love a good mystery
Great video. Have to keep watching Beasts for info as i enter a further period of being a wargaming hermit aka the second child 🙂
Wow love the fact dzc starter box was on the list
What an awesome recap of 2013, and yes leaves one waiting breathlessly for what is in store for 2014
Good Season. Good Year. Good Clip Show. Sign me up for the mystery price!
It’s gonna be a Deadzone, Dropzone and Kings of War year for me…oh, and hopefully that mystery prize!!!
This video reminded me what a great year 2013 was for gaming. 2014 is going to be a busy year of modelling for me, with 5 kickstarters due to be delivered over the coming months not to mention a long list of boardgames i still need to buy.
I expect more about upcoming Dust Tactics/Warfare! 🙂
My list of games and general hobby stuff I “need” to buy is just getting ridiculous! I’m gonna need a new house to store it all soon too. Maybe I should say, “to HECK with it! ” And get a warehouse instead and just live there immersed in all the cool minis and gaming stuff…..
cheers, to another awesome season.
I love a good mystery. 🙂
Also very nice to see all those boardgame / miniature game hybrids.
Throw my name in the hat, thanks guys. Looking forward to more cool coverage in 2014!
Cannot wait for the goodness in 2014 to arrive. Keep up the show guys.
MYSTERY PRIZE!!!!
epic free stuff is epic!
B.
It was a good year for me expanding a bit from just playing 40k and Warhammer, thanks to BOW I am now very much enjoying Deadzone, Dreadball and Bolt Action and looking forward to receiving Mars Attacks and Shadows of brimstone this Summer along with hopefully a new Space Wolves codex
Great season guys. I’m going to have nothing to look forward to every other thursday till next season 🙁
This show has helped me to find so much shiny stuff
sign me up too another great season
Love the show…bad for my wallet :).
A great round up; I’ve been reminded off some I’d forgotten and confirmed some I’ve grown to love! Thanks for another great year Beasts!
looking forward to the next season, hitting the inter webs from Warrens new man shed/Studio 1! 😉
I’m glad I looked at this one- I had forgotten about Mars Attacks! (though I couldn’t imagine how) and was wondering about the Rise of the Runelords card game in the store today. I could definitely use the cure for role playing withdrawal. Anyway, thanks!
ok i like, a good mystery is always a good thing
the directors are probably going to get *something* 🙂
Missed this first time around. I have since gone back and watched them all. Great stuff, look forward to watching a new season!
Uhh nice.. 😀
