Another month has passed and it's time for August releases, aka many of the GenCon releases. Yes GenCon is September 16-19, but even more reason to get the teases out a few weeks earlier
Issue #258 of Game Trade Magazine can be found at your FLGS and in pdf form here.

Nothing, and this is why I don't go to GenCon
ViscountEric's Money-Is-No-Object Want List
Catalyst Game Lab
Battletech - Map Pack - Alien Worlds .......................................................... $24.99
It's been tough enough over the years to find in-stock map sets, but alien worlds? Sign me up.

I wasn't a huge fan of the movie or the show, but the concept was intriguing well-written that I could catch an episode, follow the Stargate- of-the-Week, and follow allong with the ongoing plot. In a world of online gaming, this feels like a great on-going filler game.

My Pawn-Fu is pretty weak, but 200 pawns for sixty bucks seems like a good deal, and they're drow, so there's always a market for those guys (and even eviler gals).

Completely anecdotal, but the number one role-playing accessory I always see deep-discounter online and in brick and mortar stores? Spell Cards and the like. Obviously they must sell, since everyone and their brother makes them, but outside of a handful of organized play guys at cons, I've rarely seen them used, much less in someone's collection.

One exception I may find to my spell card rule might be larger collected editions, good for a sale or two in the store and not taking up too much display space for an extra copy.
Starfinder RPG: Alien Archive 1 & 2 Battle Cards ............... $59.99
And just when I give an exception to my rule, I realize that there are multiple bulk card sets. Just as bad, plus more expensive!
