Every month, when the latest issue of Game Trade Magazine (GTM) becomes available from Alliance Games Distribution, I peruse the solicitations, make up the list of the items my imaginary store would probably order, make a few comments, and simply reaffirm my logic for naming the monthly post, Apathy of the New Releases. Not that there isn't an immense selection of games, mind you, but that I'm so far away from the target demograhics that even the coolest item ever that they're promoting that month usually makes me go....
Meh.
Issue #213 of GTM should be covering November/December releases, ergo the last big push to put things on the shelves before Christmas, and the vast catalog of puzzles, novelties, and CCG supplies adding 5-6 pages to the regular-sized pdf, certainly shows.
But within those pages, I came upon a stunning realization: There's some pretty cool stuff that I actually want!
... and I'll probably still find something to complain about. It's what I do *Yells at cloud....*
