Post Replica is an intriguing new D&D style roleplaying game that uses a mobile app (or internet connected computer) to connect players all around the world, sharing and affecting what happens on tables across countries.

As in D&D, Post Replica is played with players sitting around the table, rolling dice, with one of them acting as a dungeon master. What happens around the table doesn’t just affect your game though, it affects the greater global game, impacting what happens on tables around the world. As well as this global connectedness, the app also procedurally generates rumors, letters for individual characters and adventure hooks - all of which tie into the greater story.

The story also sounds interesting, set in a future when androids have become self aware and attempting to live amongst humanity. But tensions are high and battles ensue due to a handful of murderous androids with corrupt programming.

With it’s promise of linking players globally and locally, Post Replica is an impressive evolution of the D&D formula. An ambitious roleplaying game that looks set to offer gameplay on a global scale.

It may come as no surprise that we love GIFs at Alpha Beta Gamer. So what better than a game created entirely from them? #GIFingAround is a fun cross platform party game that allows you to use any GIF from the Internet to create the funniest response to a statement.

A little like Cards Against Humanity but with GIFs, each round starts with a player acting as the Original Poster who must submit a reaction-inducing post. The rest of the players then choose a response from the selection of random GIFs they’ve been dealt and the Original Poster selects the funniest.

Coming to Windows, OSX, Linux, iOS, and Android, #GIFingAround is a fun game, and even allows you to use custom GIFs from the net. However, as we’ve created a GIF of a GIF-based game, we’re in imminent danger of creating an infinite GIF-loop and breaking the internet. Here’s hoping it doesn’t come to that!

Magic Shot - a superb new billiards-style game played on stylish, pulsating, morphing tables.

Magic Shot grabs your attention in three different ways – the tactile playtoy-esque interface, the challenging gameplay and the enticing prospect of seeing the next funky table. The finished game also will feature an original soundtrack from Renaud Bedard from Fez and Capy fame, an exciting prospect that means the audio will be as good as the stylish visuals.

With three addictive gameplay modes and a wonderfully tactile playstyle, Magic Shot can entertain for hours. Beautifully bizarre billiards.
