Here are all four products that’ll street in May, and while it is still not technically collectible, it is shaping up to be rather expensive. Four planes for $16, and you will likely need both of those packs for a game, plus the Aces will double that, and the rules

Possible licensed sourcebook for Mutants and Masterminds?
The Green Ronin superhero RPG may, or may not, be doing a sourcebook-slash-standalone-game based on the intensely Halloweeny pulp-style comic The Nocturnals. That’s what the news right here says, but the source article to which it points looks to have been deleted. We’ll try and follow up on this for
There is no CCG, and I still need a damn spoon
Although it’s reported here as a card game, it’s not. If you read the article, you can tell that. Thought I’d save you even that much work… although to see what I’m talking about, you’ll have to read the article. Welcome to the desert of the real; have a pina
2nd MechWarrior expansion coming in like a minute and a half
Less than three months after the release of Fire For Effect will come Death From Above, a MechWarrior: Dark Age expansion featuring, for the first time in MW, helicopters and air combat. All we’ve seen so far is the flyer linked to above, but damn… saturating the market much?
Shadowrun: Duels officially announced at Toy Fair
Yup, WizKids is doing a Shadowrun game with six-inch figures. Here’s the official release. This doesn’t strike me as a great idea, but it doesn’t strike me as a bomb either. We’ll see. Is it still a miniatures game? Apparently, figure articulation will figure (urk) into the rules somehow, making
Steve Jackson Doesn't Acquire Issaries
No, he never announced he was acquiring Issaries; we heard it that way first, then we actually checked, and, well, here: so yesterday, we heard here at the con that Greg Stafford had left the country. Or, actually, he hasn’t left yet, but it’s funnier that way. He’s preparing to
Live from DunDraCon
Yeah, there’s actually some news: nothing short of a potential new hit, in fact. Citizen Games’ Dungeoneer is a common sight on bar tables and floor corners as I write this – incidentally, I write this via a wireless Internet connection in the Marriott lobby. (Attention GAMA: how about leasing
Warmachine gets tuneup before leaving factory floor
This wouldn’t be news, but a friend who now calls himself a former 40K player gave the previous version of the Warmachine Quick Start rules two big thumbs up. (I should clarify that it isn’t this game that made him a former 40K player… it’s 40K that made him a
Oh, for god’s sake: WotC to publish NeoPets CCG
What do you do when your trendy card game based on a trendy TV show sinks as trends inevitably do, taking with it the value of all that inventory you printed back when you thought everything would keep on growing? Base your next game on a theoretically trendy kids’ website,
Village of Briarton review
Gold Rush Games‘ upcoming d20 village-book, The Village of Briarton, was offered up for review, so we accepted it for review, then reviewed it. And now, it is reviewed. Check it out before it hits your store shelves!
WizKids posts official Crimson Skies page
Hey, look: planes. Officially out in May, the Crimson Skies CMG has some freakishly large pilots as well. Apparently they will get sold in “Ace Packs,” two per. That’s news to me.
Good old rock. Nothing beats rock
Rock Scissors Blog is a team blog by a collection of freelance game writers, posting great ruminations on (mostly) role-playing games, their opportunities, and their limitations. I’m having a great time reading it. Don’t forget the comments.
Fantasy Setting Search has a winner already
Congratulations to Keith Baker, former Icehouse world co-champion and winner of the WotC Fantasy Setting Search. Baker got paid 100 grand for the 100-page setting bible he wrote, which, as I understand it, is an above-average page rate for the industry. Still no word on the content of this new
Way of the Witch review
Joe hits us with a review of Citizen Games‘ Way of the Witch sourcebook. Only the second D20 book about witches that we’ve reviewed… I think.
So much for Creepy Freaks: it’s non-violent
Apparently ,we haven’t had enough WizKids news after all: GamingReport brings in a few details on the under-10-pitched Creepy Freaks. Just two figures in a booster for $3.49, which is actually a decent price when you compare it to… Gregory Horror Show (the figures were good, okay?). Will kids take
