Apathy of the New Releases (Sept '14)

GenCon is over!  The big releases have hopefully trickled down to the stores and made some money.  Does anybody have any big plans for the end of the year?  Let's find out.

My Want List
Nuttin'

My Money is No Object List
Osprey Publishing
ARMIES OF THE RUSSO-POLISH WAR 1919-21 ........................................................ $17.95

My Imaginary Game Store List (The Pegleg Gnome)
This is essentially the last big pre-order before the Christmas holiday.  While smart companies released things earlier, anything solicitations later this year will get lost in the shopping hubbub, guaranteed.

Alderac Entertainment Group
DOOMTOWN: RELOADED ECG: EXPANSION 1 - NEW TOWN, NEW RULES
Oh joy, another ECG, this time to support the RPG. 

LEGEND OF THE FIVE RINGS CCG: IVORY EDITION: THE NEW ORDER BOOSTERS

Burning Wheel
BURNING WHEEL: TORCHBEARER GAMEMASTER’S SCREEN ................................... $15.00

Catalyst Game Labs
BATTLETECH: HISTORICAL FIRST SUCCESSION WAR ................................................. $34.99
BATTLETECH: SUPPORT LANCE PACK ............................................................................ $19.99
SHADOWRUN RPG: RUN FASTER HC ................................................................................ $49.99
THE DUKE: REINFORCEMENTS CITY TROOPS ................................................................ $14.99
VALIANT UNIVERSE RPG CORE RULEBOOK ................................................................... $49.99
Valiant Universe RPG?  I didn't realize that there was a demand for this.  I love X-O Manowar like every other "buy-everything" comic collector from the 90's, but c'mon!

The Design Mechanism
O/A RUNEQUEST RPG: SHIPS & SHIELD WALLS .............................................................  $7.95
Yes it violates my No Offered Again policy, but this looks too cool to pass up for minimal shelf filler.  It's only eight bucks!

Enterplay
MY LITTLE PONY CCG: ROCK N RAVE 2-PLAYER STARTER SET

Gale Force Nine
DUNGEONS & DRAGONS: HILL GIANT ......................................................................$30.00
DUNGEONS & DRAGONS: SUNDERING 6 - ELMINSTER  STORM SILVERHAND. $25.00
FIREFLY: THE GAME - SHIP DICE ................................................................................ $15.00
FIREFLY: THE GAME - SHIP SET .................................................................................. $50.00

Games Workshop
As usual, all the items listed have been on the shelves at my FLGS for about a month.  I do find it a bit sad that a "starter set" with 49 plastic minis retails for $110.00!  Part of that is my old age skewing the prices.  Part of it is Codexs for fifty bucks and single figures in a boxed set for $26 creating a lot of negativity.  But as the owner of the FLGS has told me.  "Eric, I don't know why they buy all this stuff, but it's like printing money." 

Looney Labs
Holiday Fluxx ....................................................................................................................  $16.00
Finally, something to hawk during the holidays.  Thank you Looney Labs.

Spartan Games
While my Imaginary Store has decided not to pursue any of the Spartan Games lines, I was impressed to see an Indian (Raj) army and naval group for Dystopian Wars.  That's a niche group in the realm of western gamers.  I hope it sells well for them
