Apathy of the New Releases (January '14)

Solicitations for this month should be for February, yet the quality of the surprise me. I'm not changing the name of the monthly post quite yet....

My Must Have Want List
Nothing

My Money is No Object List
CoC: Horror on the Orient Express ............................................$119.95
CoC: Secrets of Tibet ................................................................$  27.95
CoC: Steampunk Cthulhu...........................................................$  18.95
Horror is about $40 over my comfort level, and the other two don't wow me, but there should be a copy of them on my shelf

Osprey:  The Lewis Gun

The Imaginary Story List (Viscount Eric's Pegleg Gnome Games and Frozen Yogurt)
Academy Games
Freedom: The Underground Railroad  $70.00
Fun is not the first word that comes to mind when I think of the Underground Railroad.  If I were to make such a game, it would sure be easy and economical.  I think this one strikes out on all counts.

AEG
Legend Of The Five Rings Rpg: Book Of Water......................... $39.99
Legend Of The Five Rings CCG: Ivory Edition

Chaosium
Call of Cthulhu: Extreme Planets..................................................$18.95
 more fiction

Cryptozoic
The Doom That Came to Atlantic City ....................................... $70.00
The much-maligned Kickstarter disaster has found a home and a release date. Gimicky $70 board games woo me in the same way $70 boardgames about slaves escaping to freedom do, that is, they don't.

Dreamscarred Press
Pathfinder:Psionics Augmented vol 1 ...........................................................$24.99

Fantasy Flight
Star Wars X-wing Miniatures Game: Rebel Transport Expansion Pack ...  $59.95
Star Wars X-wing Miniatures Game:Tantive IV Expansion Pack  ............  $89.95
Those prices frighten me as to the direction of the game.

Games Workshop
More stuff the appropriate die hards know is already out.  Nothing looked reasonably price, even for GW standards.

Goodman Games
Dungeon Crawl Classics #80:Intrigue At The Court Of Chaos  $9.99
Dungeon Crawl Classics #81: The One Who Watches From Below $9.99

Margaret Weiss Productions
Firefly RPG    $19.95
Twenty bucks?  There's gotta be a catch...
