Another Month of Gaming Releases (May '23)

It's time for the slow build-up towards the summer convention circuit, and big releases a few months from now.  

While I heartily admit that I'm no longer the demographic, and inflation has officially hit the hobby with a number of new releases, when I list stuff under the Imaginary Store list, regardless of my imaginary financial status, I can't reasonably be required to list piles of games and accessories from companies I've either never heard of, or don't remember from the years of doing this monthly post.  If I can't justify buying them with imaginary money, I can imagine the decisions of a real-life FLGS.

Issue #279 of Game Trade Magazine can be found at your FLGS, or online in pdf format here.
