How to Follow Wargamer and Join Its Community

Updated

You can keep up with Wargamer in three main ways: reading the site directly, subscribing to its newsletter, and joining its Discord server. The right mix depends on whether you just want the latest tabletop news or you also want to chat with other players, enter competitions, and take part in AMAs.

Read the latest coverage on wargamer.com

The website is the primary source for everything Wargamer publishes. Its coverage spans Warhammer 40k, Age of Sigmar, Dungeons and Dragons, Magic: The Gathering, board games, TTRPGs, war games, Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh!, and more.

On the homepage you'll find a mix of news and guides, including release coverage and hands-on impressions. Recent examples from the site include:

  • A look at Lord of the Rings: The King's Gambit, described as a "beefier" board game than the beloved Star Wars original
  • News that Wizards of the Coast laid off key community and social media managers for MTG and D&D
  • Coverage of a new Call of Cthulhu strategy board game starring the old gods "at the height of their power"

If you want to follow a specific game or hobby, the simplest approach is to check the site regularly and read the sections that match your interests. This is the lowest-commitment option: no account or sign-up is required to read articles.

Subscribe to the Wargamer newsletter

Wargamer runs an email newsletter for updates. You can subscribe through its sign-up page:

https://wargamer.us8.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=b09c45c59147708b1dc1679db&id=5895c87495

Enter your email address, confirm your subscription, and you'll receive Wargamer updates by email. This suits readers who want news pushed to them rather than checking the site manually. Note that the available site information doesn't state pricing or login requirements for the newsletter, so treat those details as unconfirmed until you see the sign-up page itself.

Join the Wargamer Discord

Wargamer invites readers to "join us in Discord for unhinged tabletop chat, big competitions, AMAs, and more!" The Discord is the community side of Wargamer rather than the news side. It's the best fit if you want to:

  • Talk tabletop with other players in real time
  • Take part in competitions
  • Attend AMAs (ask-me-anything sessions) with guests

To join, look for the Discord invite link on the Wargamer site, accept the invite, and follow the server's rules and channel structure. Expect general chat channels plus event and competition channels; the exact layout can change over time.

You don't have to choose just one. A common approach is to read the site for articles, subscribe to the newsletter so you don't miss major releases, and use Discord when you want to discuss the news with others.

Common snags

  • Discord invite links expire or rotate. If a link doesn't work, go back to the Wargamer site and find the current invite rather than reusing an old one.
  • Newsletter emails can land in spam. If you subscribe and see nothing, check your spam or promotions folder and mark the sender as safe.
  • Coverage is broad, so filter by interest. With so many games and systems covered, skim headlines first and dive into the ones relevant to your hobby.
