In an impressive turnaround, Alliance Games Distribution continues to not only rehabilitate their website after a catastrophic ransomware attack, but they're adding their new content, specifically issue #263 of Game Trade Magazine.
In celebration of a return to a digital copy, I'm feeling oddly lenient in the items I mention in my "Imaginary Store" aka the cool stuff I don't want, but most self-respecting FLGS would order. There's still a lot of 4th and 5th tier game companies releasing $60-70+ board games that I won 't list, because they simply don't sound appealing at a third of the MSRP. Surprisingly, I caught myself listing TCGs I usually don't (because I've rarely see them sell beyond the requisite box over weeks), but perhaps it's the technological breakthrough, the holiday spirit, and the fact the their might be STUFF I WANT in this month's solicitations that I'm feeling generous.
ViscountEric's Want List
Renegade Game Studios
G.I. Joe RPG - Core Rulebook .............................................. $55.00
Despite the alternatives, despite the absolute lack of a need for another book on my gaming shelves, or a chance to actually play it, this Want List item is fueled by pure nostalgia and years of setting up battles in the backyard. I have a little blurb about Renegade in general in the "Imaginary Store" listing further down.

I needed to go back a few issues/posts to confirm an anomaly with Renegade. Plenty of companies use slick ads on pages adjacent to their new solicitations. Renegade seems to run these very well done, multi-page ads in lieu of the actual solicitation listing.
