Apathy of the New Releases (May '14)

Easter is done.  My birthday min-con is over.  Let's look at early Origins/GenCon solicits! 

Woo?

On Monday, I used the Reaper Gift Certificate and finally ordered the Mousling Tavern set after putting it on my Want List over 2 1/2 years ago!  I guess it's fitting that this month's Game Trade Magazine actually has stuff that interests me!

My Want List

CALL OF CTHULHU RPG:  DEAD LIGHT ................................................................ $6.95
A seven dollar CoC scenario?  Even if it's complete garbage, it's worth more than most of the lunches I've bought at work in the past week.

My Money-is-No-Object

Asmodee Editions
O/A FORMULA D: EXPANSION 5 - NEW JERSEY / SOTCHI ................................ $29.99
This month I violate a few of my normal rules for my Apathy column. Asmodee has a number of new board games solicited this month, but the one thing that caught my eye was the in stock mention of a Formula D set that covers Jersey and Russia. The Sopranos and Putin, all in one set!

Khepera Publishing
O/A ATLANTIS: THE SECOND AGE RPG CORE RULES ........................................ $49.99
ATLANTIS: THE SECOND AGE RPG - ACTION DECK .......................................... $12.99
ATLANTIS: THE SECOND AGE RPG - GEOGRAPHICA ......................................... $39.99
ATLANTIS: THE SECOND AGE RPG- HERO’S GUIDE ............................................ $25.99
I may or may not have missed this RPG, directly based off of the old Bard Games Arcanum line.  Hit the lottery, and not only would it all be mine, I would corral players to run this, no matter what.

Chessex
New releases for d6 blocks and loose dice.  A necessity in a gaming store, but when CoC modules cost less than dice, we may be losing the "candy aisle splurge buy" advantage with them.

Cryptozoic Entertainment
ADVENTURE TIME CARD WARS: FOR THE GLORY! BOOSTER DISPLAY (24)
THE WALKING DEAD  COMPETITIVE DICE GAME: DON’T LOOK BACK.....   $20.00

FASA
FADING SUNS: REVISED  GAMEMASTER’S GUIDE ............................................. $34.95
FADING SUNS: REVISED PLAYER’S GUIDE .......................................................... $34.95
The "new" FASA is finally in GTM.  It not the same as fifteen years ago, but it warms my heart a bit.

Games Workshop
Everything this month is already released, over-priced Chaos Space Marines, except for the Citadel: Quake Cannon Craters set.  Now, I don't know how big a Quake Cannon Crater is, but for $37.00, they better cover a full corner of the table.
