Allan’s interview with two D20 survivors - Goodman Games and Troll Lord games, respectively - is the meat of this show. We also report on DDC more generally, and threaten to talk about lots of other stuff. Get with it.
Actually Eisner’s company is splitting it with some other company, and I guess I’ve just blown the only chance I’ll get for a while to use the word ‘consortia’ in a headline. What does this mean for Topps’ wholly-owned subsidiary WizKids? My guess is as good as yours, but there you have it. They get two words in the article, though, so that’s good!
Okay, so, we slept on this a little - in part because the first portion, the Epic BattleLore expansion that’ll open the game up to 6 players at a time, was expected. But this Call to Arms business is entirely intriguing, offering an alternate card-based army deployment system. It’ll hit in April for $20, whereas the Epic stuff will hit this month online, so register those back-of-the-booklet codes if you haven’t.
That little noise you just heard was the sound a tiny, faraway shark makes when D&D Minis jumps right the hell over it. Or we could be wrong, and D&D Minis could actually have a life beyond DMs who buy and trade for the figures they really want. I guess we’ll find out in June.
