First! Carnevale was one I’ve looked at a few times. I’m really regreting missing out on the Kickstarter but it is great to see TTCombat follow up on all that they promised for the game when they took it on. Everyone talks about the terrain as a barrier to entry but I see it as one of the main selling points and probably the key difference between it and many other skirmish level games. I’m saving up for a full 6×8 foot table full of Venice.
My finger has hovered over the Carnevale ‘Checkout’ or ‘Pledge’ button so many times over the years, but something has always held me back; often my diminished pastime budget at the time or a feeling of insecurity for the future of the game. Maybe now IS that time. It’s future looks secure, it’s moved to non-metal, it’ll get retail support thanks to the starter set -which also breaks down that hurdle of initial investment to get a playable game that you can incrementally invest in over time. Thanks TTCombat, that’s another shelf/bag etc to find space for! I think I’ve… Read more »
Happy 250th episode!
Great accomplishment. Here’s to another 250 episodes.
Great Show
I see you know your Latin @warzan . Anniversary does indeed have come from the Latin Annus which means year.
So every Birthday you become one Annus greater than you were last birthday.
Looks like I have to go out and pick up Carnevale.
Carnevale looks like a lot of fun! I really like the look of the patricians.
It’s the Weekend!! I’m sure there’s been way more than 250 weekends since I first subscribed so even allowing for excusable events such as bootcamps and conferences I’m surprised it’s only 250 Weekenders. Still, who’d have thought? GRATZ! Shows what you can achieve when you constantly innovate, tweak, fiddle with yourselves*, invest energy (drinks mostly) and fail-fast… and sometimes you have failed very fast. Revel in that and keep failing; it proves you’re still trying and not taking yourselves or us for granted! * only you know what’s going on UnderTheTabletop(tm) during filming 😉 Mostly Lieut. @Warzan and his lowly… Read more »
Did I just come up inadvertently with a good title for a new series of behind the scenes/meta content?
Happy Weekend!!!
So this is how you comment here…. Exquisite! Also, Carnevale looks really intresting, I want to know more about it. PD: Hobbit armies from TTCombat are helarious. I’m intrigued about their playing mechanics.
Welcome to the community! Won’t be long before you’re setting your alarm early to try and get first post 😉
Did Sam teach 4 and 5 year olds because it’s been proven that children respond better and tend to take in what there told when the teacher and pupil are at similar eye level?
Maybe that’s why he went to teach in Japan. ?
Carnevale looks interesting, a new game to me
Happy Weekend… just sitting here with my Carnevale KS Pledge and building my Patrician Gang
For Battle Ravens I think I posted before but some of the guys here played (I couldn’t make it ?) a review copy of it a few weeks ago and said it was a fantastic game. Highly recommended but anything by Dan Mersey usually is
Wow, so proud of you guys for achieving 250 episodes and the opening the visitor’s centre! As a longtime BoW member and backstager it’s been a true pleasure of watching you guys grow the company and community and keep doing amazing things! If only I had a bit more time to watch all the amazing content!
Peter Denis also does some wonderful paper armies for differing periods and look wonderful

Looking forward to play some games of Carnevale
Super awesome video, keep them going, oh yes yes – its that time – the weekender has landed – good morning all from here on the south coast UK, Brighton :-)
Wow never really looked at Carnevale before .. looks like an amazing game ..
Everyone looks so clean shaven! Did you guys get a sample pack of razors in the post or something? 😉
Probably washed, scrubbed and scraped themselves up to greet the local dignitaries at their opening…
I had a mini introduction to Carnevale by Jason at Crisis. The models looked great in the meat world. After seeing this episode, I regret not picking it up at Crisis.
The Carnevale starter looks nice
Carnevale looks great.
TT Combat are knocking it out of the park with Carnevale.
I’m not seeing the Ramparts Terrain winner on the prize page? Not that it’s me but it’s always fun to see who wins!
Me either. On both fronts.
I was thinking of getting some of the Venice scenery to make a Naboo table for Star wars legion
Carnevale looks very interesting. Love the look of the Guild leader!
Also… weekend means Weekender Time!
I have really been looking forward to the ” new ” Carnevale – discovered this game a couple of years back, and have been waiting for this relaunch – Great show
