Ah, August! Sweltering heat! Swampass galore! Companies hoping their latest release arrives from China in time to arrive at GenCon and help pay for the hotel, double booth, crazy decorations they couldn't afford, and a few booth babes. Or, if you're the cool, trendy company, put you put in your August release for solictation same month and either (a) hope you printed enough, or (b) hope you have enough warehouse space to store the product you couldn't move. Let's see who's supposedly releasing what when.
My Want List
Nothing... *sniff sniff*
My Money Is No Object List
Jennisodes
Project Ninja Panda Taco RPG................................$25.00
A collaborative RPG where everyone plays evil masterminds trying to take over the world. I'm in! For $25 though?
My Imaginary Store List (aka The Pegleg Gnome)
4 Winds Fantasy Gaming
Pathfinder: Heroes of the Fenian Triarchy..............$14.99 - June.
June? Yep, it's going to be one of those months.
Action Games Miniatures
Drake: The Dragon Wargame.
I have to give these guys credit. Dragons in 28mm wargaming is concept that's not employed as much as it should, but perhaps this is the reason:
Rulebook............................................................. $34.99
Garrick Army Box...............................................$124.99
Garrick Incursion Set.............................................$54.95
Garrick Starter Set.................................................$76.95
There are two other factions set up in a similar manner. Besides the $90 minimal buy in, what exactly is the difference between the Army, the Incursion Set, and the Starter? Do the Incursion plus Starter equal the Army set with a few bucks of savings? What do the minions and humans look like? Given their September release date, they have a little bit of time to flesh that out.
Alderac Entertainment Group
Legend of the Five Rings CCG Poker Deck....................$7.99 each
Legend of the Five Rings CCG: Gates of Chaos Booster...$3.79 each (September)

Smash Up: The Obligatory Cthulhu Expansion.................$19.99
The Army Painter
Colour Primer: Gun Metal.......................................$14.99 (June)
One, who has that much medieval armor that needs priming. Two, fifteen freakin' bucks? Highway Robbery!
Atlas Games
Doom: Unquiet Dead...............................................$14.95
Atomic Overmind Press
Zombies 101............................................................$12.95
A zombie primer by Ken Hite? That should find a spot on the store's shelf.
Chronicle City
Shadows Over Vathak.............................................$39.99 (July)
Diamond Comic Distributors
Pathfinder: Dark Waters Rising Vol 1 HC................. ?
The collected version of the comic. Here's hoping at least Previews has the real price.
Evil Hat Productions
Fate: Accelerated.................................................... $ 5.00 (July)
Not only July, but I've seen numerous copies of it already. But it's a very nice book for five bucks.

Mantic
Lots of Orcs and Undead, comparable prices to GW. I am seeing a lot more extra spikes and other GW stylistic points, and that's on top of the ones I would find acceptable on an orc! And they should already be out (June, for shame)
