Ah, to relive those halcyon days of yore, when we would run down the local game shop on a Thursday or Friday afternoon to see what goodies the gaming gods sent from Chessex, The Armory, or Wargames West. Nowadays, I'm just a bitter man, probably it costs see a softcover sourcebook in gas just to drive to the closest shop. But enough griping, he's the new releases for pre-order from Game Trade Magazine this month.
My personal must-have list: absolutely nothing. Oh, I've updated my want list to reflect the Gnome Wars American Gnomes and the Holy Gnoman Empire figs, but there's nothing here shouts, "Sell your kidneys!"
My wish list: Nothing. Really! Really-really!
My store list: Everything would be, of course, subject to the whims of my imaginary store, but I will highlight the interesting items.
*L5R CCG Second City Set, plus new WoW expansions.
*There are 25 separate items for Flames of War, TWENTY FIVE. And not much under $35.00. Now I watched a little of the FoW National Tourney at Historicon, and the guys seem nice and looked like they were having fun, but the armies they field on one table could cost as much as a couple of rows of tables at an ancients tourney. I admit, I don't get it.
*There are 11 new boxed sets for the continued roll-out for Heavy Gear. Would I as a store owner, in questionable economic times, be willing to invest even one of each into the game line? I would hope that their would be a discounted store starter dispaly with extra posters, promo material, and maybe an extra 5% off cost. Heck,I really hope FoW has that as well
*Talisman Dragon Expansion - The coolest, yet most overrated of the Talisman expansions is back! $ 40.00
*THE LAUNDRY:THE MYTHOS DOSSIERS
*MUTANTS & MASTERMINDS 3RD EDITION: HEROES AND VILLAINS OF WWII
*Pathfinder - 3 new Third party products, and a slew of stuff from Paizo
*ELDER SIGN: a new board game from the creators of Arkham Horror.
*Star Fluxx and a Mixed Assortment of Fluxx
