  • Video Game / World of Tanks A patch added a tutorial, though it's been derided as a mediocre effort, since it only covers the bare basics and gives some sub-optimal advice (like hiding inside a bush instead of behind it, as the latter camouflages the tank better).
  • Tabletop Game / Malifaux Their sub-factions include a Genetic engineering druid cult, an Ice magic worshipping cult and the Miners and Steamfitters Union (the guys who patch-up those steam-powered doom spiders, not a cult).
