06:47 PM: Mike Sugarbaker says... Another Miniatures Gaming Publisher That Badly Needs A Decent Web Site
ICv2 brings the pain: Frank Frazetta's Death Dealer hits from Cell in time for Gen Con. It's a little disconcerting to read reportage on minis games that seems to believe WizKids invented them, but then again, ICv2's core audience is comics fans and retailers who only dabble in games - I suppose the same crowd that actually thinks Frazetta's name is a selling point. The report also namechecks Games Workshop, and that comparison will likely be common as Cell makes its big push to invade the US. It'll also scare off many players who would love both Hybrid and Ronin War. (I have this belief that lots of gamers hate and fear Games Workshop, which might not be true. It certainly used to be true for me, but I've taken a strong interest in minis over the past few months. I'm not sure why. GW policies and prices are almost starting to seem reasonable to me. It's scary.)
