Another Month of Gaming (January 2020)

Sliding in between our year-end holidays is Game Trade Magazine #239. 

ViscountEric's Want List
Nothing

ViscountEric's Money-is-no-Object Want List
Chaosium
Call of Cthulhu:  Three Portals into the Nightmare ..................... $19.99

Decision Games
Strategy & Tactics #322 - Banana Wars: 1898-1935 .................. $39.99

The Imaginary Store List
25th Century Games
Kingswood ............................................................... $29.99

Tea for 2 .................................................... $24.99
Unlock!  Escape Adventures ....................  $29.99
Unlock!  Mystery Adventures ..................  $29.99
I may have mentioned this in an earlier Another Month..., but Asmodee's Marvel: Crisis Protocol  miniature game makes Games Workshop look like a bag of army men at the dollar store.  Very nice figures, but when every hero runs the price of a special  (not unique) character off the 40k rack, I'm interested to see what the necessary saturation point is to generate a sustainable community of gamers.  

Catalyst Game Labs
Battletech: Battlecorps Anthology Vol 6 - Front Line PB ................... $12.95

Coolminiornot
Sheriff of Nottingham (2nd Edition) ............ $39.99
Starcadia Quest ............................................. $79.99
Starcadia Quest Arrmada Expansion ............ $39.99
Starcadia Quest Build-a-Robot Expansion ... $39.99
Starcadia Quest Showdown Expansion ........ $24.99
One of my standing rules in this imaginary store is to poo-poo most Coolmini releases.  I don't see brick-and-mortar sales, I don't see repeat play, and I rarely see true enthusiasm outside the Kickstarter faithful.

That being said, I'm amazed by how awesome the Song of Ice & Fire Minis are, how inexpensive they are compared to other figs, and the lack of enthusiasm for them from fantasy gamers and pseudo-historical.
