Viscount Eric's Money-Is-No-Object List
The Army Painter
Warpaints: Flesh Wash 18ml ............................................................................ $ 3.25
Not that I can't afford three bucks and quarter, but if I can find a new alternative to my current washes, I'd drop the money on the counter and run.
Decision Games
Folio Series: Shanghai Incident ....................................................................... $19.95
The Imaginary Store (The Pegleg Gnome) List
After hitting a few stores recently, reading a few blogs, and checking out a few online clearance sales for brick and mortar stores, I'm certain that my decisions to stop listing certain items (re: stop stocking them in the imaginary store) were wise ones. Specifically, most 3rd party Pathfinder and most Spartan Games (Dystopian War/Firestorm Armada) lines have a stark contrast between those who do sell it, to those who emulate an episode of hoarders trying to stock the lines.

Backspindle Games
Luchador! ........................................................................................................... $39.95
Here's another edition of "ViscountEric just doesn't get it." I've never heard of Backspindle Games before this months Game Trade Magazine. I have no idea what kind of company they are, but you know what? The cover and title of the game grabbed my attention. It's a dice game, and given the only things I picked out of AEG above were dice, this might make a nice addition. However, the forty dollar price tag for a bunch of dice and essentially an dice tower/tray in the form of a wrestling ring means this is going to collect dust on the store shelf, unless my masked wrestler demographic is higher than usual.

Corvus Belli
Ariadna Desperadoes ............................................................................................ $40.62
I despise the Infinity sculpts almost as much as I do their ridiculous pricing, but dammit if a couple of these figures don't paint up totally sweet. At twenty bucks-plus apiece, I wouldn't even pick them up if I hit the lottery.
Fate RPG: Demon Hunters - A Comedy of Terrors Core Rules HC ..................... $49.95
They had me at the ridiculous cover, and lost me at the price tag.

Enterplay
My Little Pony CCG: Marks in Time Boosters
I just started to see earlier expansions on clearance sales, so unless I've cultivated a solid cross section of the community into this game, it might be time to say sayonara!
Fantasy Flight Games
Between physical stores and online sites, I'm a bit concerned that Fantasy Flight sells one and done style games. The games may be great, but after the initial hullabaloo, their games (and later expansions) sit on the shelf, or slowly get discounted down, not at full clearance prices, but 5% here, 10% there. Seeing the SW RPG Specialization Decks heavily discounted nixes that idea. Even the 3'x3' X-Wing playmats don't have a price listed in the customer copy of GTM. Not the way to promote games.
Frog God Games
Borderland Provinces: Journey Generator ................................................................ $10.00
Borderland Provinces: Player's Gazetteer ................................................................. $15.00
Borderland Provinces: Player's Guide ....................................................................... $10.00
Not sure about the last three books, obviously for FGG's Borderlands Provinces campaign, but a ten dollar "campaign generator" is definitely worth the money.
Gale Force Nine
Dungeons & Dragons RPG - Curse of Strahd Traokka Deck .................................... $10.00
Games Workshop
After my ranting and raving about fairly rudimentary gaming items, my traditional rant/bias on $30 individual figures and $85 "Collector Sets" doesn't have the same enthusiasm

Reaper Miniatures
Reaper will have the mouslings that appeared in Bones II now available in metal. The Bones versions are quite acceptable, so I don't know why one would want to spend double for the figures.

Don't exactly know the market for a product such as this, especially long term, but it might be worth a shot.
