Another month, another book of solicitations from Alliance. No long winded rants today, I need to finish this, do actual work at work today, and rush home to watch the Doctor Who 50th Anniversary Special. Priorities, man!
Allons-y!
(Edit: Work is slow and it's almost time to go home, so I'll add that I found it amusing that Jugular Josh's blog is reference as the eight overall result if you Google "Doctor Who." Still a bit strange that the actual result is his Google+ page linking to one of his Doctor Who posts.)

Twilight Creations
Cthulhu!!!: Hastur La Vista, Baby! Kingsport Edition $34.99
Cthulhu!!!: Hastur La Vista, Baby! thrusts you into a desperate fight against elder forces from beyond space and time. You place the stalwart private detectives and quick-thinking girl Fridays who’ve stumbled onto the Cult of Hastur’s plans, and it’s your job to find and sanctify enough ritual sites to prevent the King in Yellow’s arrival. Powered by the Zombies!!! system, Cthulhu!!!: Hastur La Vista, Baby! features an ever-changing map of downtown Kingsport, a 1920s Lovecraft Country city besieged by deranged cultists, frightening creatures from beyond the stars, and an endless supply of mythos mayhem. Scheduled to ship in February 2014.
So, if Arkham Horror and Zombies! had a baby with all their good traits, this might be the offspring.
The Imaginary Store List
With GTM #166 being the last order book before the Christmas holiday, there are a LOT of boardgames listed, both new and offered again. Two pages of Ticket to Ride? Sounds like a promotion to restock before Christmas shopping parents descend on the store.

Games Workshop
Warhammer Dark Elves are the over-priced soup of the day. Army book? $49.50 Ten Dreadspears? $35.00. Cauldron of Blood? $75. You may only need one cauldron of blood, or an army book for that matter, but a fantasy game with $35 boxed sets for ten measely troops. (Or better yet, 10 witche elves for $60)? No thanks.
Greenbrier Games
Zpocalypse: Core Game ...................................................... $60.00
Zpocalypse looks to be a tile based board game of zombie survival. I haven't heard anything about it, but it's November release is ambitious to say the least. The core game, a boxed supplement, extra tiles, terrain, figures, and dice, ten products in total. That's a heckuva investment for a company, distributor, store, or customer to make.

Spartan Games
I've basically written off most of Spartan Games' lines, save the occasional fantastic piece. With so many new miniatures games getting released each month, if I were a store owner, I would need to focus on my clientele and the bottom line, and I don't see Dystopian Wars, Dystopian Empires, or Firestorm Armada with overwhelming staying power.
That said, I did pause over their soliciations this month, when one of the DW offerings was the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth Air Cadre and a battle group for the Kingdom of Denmark. I don't know what's going on in the storyline, but it's always nice to see the forces expand from the tradtional powers.
