ViscountEric's Gaming Want List
Nothing


ViscountEric's Money-Is-No-Object Want List
Atlas Games
Magical Kitties Save the Day! RPG - Kitty Noir ............................... $14.95

Even without the rulebook, I've heard enough ads on Ken and Robin to perhaps grab a copy to read.

WizKids

Ysoki Mechanic (Deep Cut) ..................... $4.99

The Imaginary Store (The Pegleg Gnome) List

2Tomatoes Games

Neat name to keep you on top of the soliciations and catalogs, decent games, but if you can't provide pricing (which means the retailer will get less than their normal wholesale discount, only a handful of a handful of stores will bite. 

9th Level Games

Return to Dark Tower Fantasy RPG ....................................................... $49.99

Return to Dark Tower Fantasy RPG Adversary Screen .......................... $24.99

Return to Dark Tower Fantasy RPG Player Tower Accessory Set ......... $49.99

There are a few things that amaze me that they got made.  This is one of them.  Over 1,200 people backed the Kickstarter.  The question is, are some of your customers part of the small group that weren't aware of the Kickstarter.  It's 9th Level, so I have some hope, but my guts telling to me order minimal or singular.

Alderac Entertainment Group

Cascadia: Landmarks Expansion .......................................................... $34.99

Ares Games

War of the Ring: The Card Game - Against the Shodow Expansion ..... $24.90

Wings of Glory: Nieuport 16 ............................. $19.90

Catalyst Game Labs

Battletech: Mercenaries Boxed Set .................... $74.99

Battletech: The Warrior Trilogy (HC) ................ $14.99 each

En Garde, Riposte, and Coupe

Shadowrun RPG: Cyber Decks .......................... $14.95

Chaosium 

Basic Roleplaying .............................................. $49.99

Cults of Runequest: Mythology ......................... $39.99

Chessex Manufacturing

Clear Plastic Dice Cup Lid ................................. $ 4.95

Flexible Dice Cup .............................................. $ 9.98

Cups available in black, brown, and pink.  Is the separate lid a price point decision? Do they get lost and it's easier to order a new one this way? 

Nostalgia Opaque GM and Beginner Player Polyhedral 7-Die Set ............. $4.18

I have a million questions, and possibly a warm and fuzzy feeling inside if they're re-releasing "cheesy dice" from the old D&D box sets.  Seven dice in a set sounds like their including percentile d10s, when the picture they decided to use actually shows the the d20 with 0-9 twice.  

Prism Translucent GM and Beginner Player Polyhedral 7-Die Set .......... $11.98

But clear plastic dice are more expensive than some of Chessex's other polyhedral sets.   I have a whole mini-rant about ordering dice directly from China, and it's based on this pricing logic I can't follow.

Cubicle 7

Doctor Who RPG:  Doctors and Daleks - Players Guide (5e) ............... $59.99

Doctor Who RPG:  Doctors and Daleks - Alien Archive (5e) ............... $44.99

Exploding Kittens

Exploding Kittens:  Good vs Evil ......................... $21.99

Facade Games 

Hollywood 1947 ................................................... $24.99

Fanroll 

Pathfinder - 55mm Goblin Mammoth D20 .......... $54.99

This larger than your palm D20 begs the question: It the name Pathfinder, and a gimmick inside the die worth the price tag when regular 55mm d20s go for between $15-35? 

Pathfinder - Bundle Dice Set/Dice Bag/Dice Tray .......... $49.99

Pathfinder - Goblin Inclusion Dice Set ............................ $19.99

So the Inclusion dice, and the 55mm d20, have a goblin's face inside.  I see prize support build-up for Pathfinder events, but I don't see any consistent sales past the first one or two whimsical purchases, if your lucky.

Loke Battle Mats

Old Gods of Appalachia RPG -  GM Screen ............ ........................ $22.99

Osprey Games

A War Transformed ................................................ $35.00

General Orders WW2 ............................................. $35.00

I knew the Osprey glut was real, but seeing it in person at the Historicon flea market, I'm only intrigued what these rules for WW1 and WW2 have to offer to warrant a hardcover.
