This ICv2 story has the whole shpiel from Rich Kummer of ACD Distribution. Games Workshop product, WizKids stuff, and third-party card and board games will still get carried, but apparently, Wizards can’t afford the shelf space for White Wolf, Pinnacle or Green Ronin anymore. Given the tremendous array of D20

MW Dropship Confirmed At GAMA
OgreCave has received some email from a MechWarrior Battlemaster, telling us that store owners and managers who run MW events got a letter from WizKids recently, telling them they’ll have a chance to get a free Dropship if they attend a Q&A at GAMA. So presumably, the rest of us
My Mechs, I likes ’em big
GamingReport has a few probable details about the upcoming “big figure” for MechWarrior, a dropship that’ll hold four full-size Mechs inside and have five combat dials of its own. MWRealms hasn’t picked up the story yet – maybe they don’t do rumors? – but they do have a story about
From the people-still-play-Magic department…
I don’t have a link for this, exactly, but I had a talk last night with a couple of fairly serious, if amateur, local Magic players last night and they told me something interesting. It is heavily rumored, but unconfirmed, that the next expansion after the current base set (which
Privateer locks, loads, primes, and ships
An interesting next step in the Iron Kingdoms plan for world domination, Lock & Load: Iron Kingdoms Character Primer ships to retailers next week. Weird: Lock & Load is apparently the name of a line, but the cover art has it all big like a title, and the individual Character
First glimpse of Dragonlance D20 available
It’s not out until July or August or something, but get a look at the cover art and all that stuff. Why are the words “CAMPAIGN SETTING” bigger than the title? Whatever.
Battle Cattle 3 ships in time for (insert cow-related holiday pun of choice)
Battle Cattle Third Edition, with cover art by the same Colin Adams you see rockin’ it up in the corner every day here in the Cave, is now shipping to your game store, and orderable directly from Wingnut if you accidentally blew up your game store. Now that I’ve played
Fantasy Flight narrowly avoids fixing Vortex
Although the Vortex product page says September, the rants page says next week or so. That’s when you might see Vortex: Maelstrom, a complete set of all the starter and common flats from collectible tile game Vortex, which, when we reviewed it way back when, we said we would have
Sabertooth coyly announces Warhammer Fantasy CCG for spring
There’s this press release going, “We’re doing this amazing new fantasy thing and it needs playtesters” (the exact quote is below), but then on this company bio-kinda page they flat out say they’re making a Warhammer CCG to follow up the 40K one. Not sure whom they’re trying to tease,
Steve Jackson not funny, needs your help
I mean the company, of course, not the man. Steve Jackson himself is a born entertainer. But those responsible for the title “Munchkin 3: Bard For Life” for the next expansion to the smash hit dungeon-delving card game have been sacked. According to the Daily Illuminator (under December 7), it’s
WotC set to revise core D&D books in 2003
Since Wizards’ press releases page is four months behind, I’ll link you to . Short version is, there will be new editions of the three core D&D books released next July, with rules changes. Read More for the details.
GW announces date for first West Coast Games Day
This innocuous-looking page is the first public appearance of a firm date for, and open admission of, Games Day Los Angeles. It’s been rumored for a long, long time, but here’s the proof that Games Workshop will be covering both coasts as well as the Midwest with major events in
New pix of MechWarrior expansion, due in February
The MW Fire For Effect expansion is getting ready to hit you where it hurts (yes, I mean your wallet. What did you think I meant?) in February. The boosters-only expansion introduces new rules and figures for Artillery, Mercenaries, and Transport Vehicles. All I want to know is, does anyone
New, improved Star Wars TCG with 80% less cringing!
That’s right, kids: you might not have noticed, but WotC‘s new-ish Star Wars card game now has starter decks and boosters of A New Hope – cards drawn entirely from the first film (albeit the special edition), not the crap with the teen idol and the Marriage of (*choke* *gasp*)
SnarfQuest D20 Preview PDF
Your friend and mine, the redoubtable Larry Elmore, has made the first few pages of each chapter of the upcoming SnarfQuest campaign book for D20 available as a PDF. Eat that, you minotaur twink!
