Green Ronin had to wait quite a while to make their presentation at GTS, being part of the Tuesday night dinner that included Wizard Entertainment, the Origins Awards nominations, and Games Workshop. But once Chris Pramas was finally able to take the podium, the GR gospel was spread. Some copies

Green Ronin burns mad scientist alive
Actually, they won’t get him till June. Allan’s casual observation at GTS was that everyone seems to want to get into (non-trading) card games, and if that’s true, Green Ronin is evidently no exception. Expenses are higher than in the D20 market, but it looks like that market’s pretty dry
GURPS Faerie and other playtests
For those who enjoy getting an early peek at stuff, Steve Jackson Games has announced three more playtests you could get in on. The long-awaited GURPS Faerie, by Graeme Davis, is now in playtest on Pyramid, as is GURPS Covert Ops by William H. Stoddard and Hans-Christian Vortisch. Last but
Alien Menace doing Modern Naval Battles
After their Origins nom for Sucking Vacuum, the guys at Alien Menace are really moving from strength to strength, although I confess I am not totally sure what that expression means. Modern Naval Battles will be a full-color, boxed version of the classic military card game by Dan Verssen (who
Yowling Reported in Invisible City
Invisible City‘s latest game of the month has arrived. It’s Black Cat, a real-time, high-speed card game in the tradition of such classics as Spit and the alarmingly-named Egyptian Rat Screw. The game supports two to four players and should generate plenty of noise and chaos if you feel the
Simpsons CCG and D&D big-atures hit this fall
No, they didn’t kill the Simpsons game. That’s about all the new info on that, but there was a big burst of new intel on the upcoming prepainted, randomized D&D Miniatures game. The big shocker is that these figs will not be standard 25mm scale like MK and, well, all
Eden gets Army of Darkness license
The press release says the license covers roleplaying and card games, and then says “the game” will come out in October, without saying which one. I suppose this means the RPG, although the card game appears to be another Abduction clone like HACK, so maybe they’ll bust it out pretty
End of a bubblicious era: WotC loses Pokemon license
The open letter to fans from Wizards CEO Chuck Huebner says that WotC’s proposal “to manufacture and distribute the Ruby & Sapphire releases was not accepted.” (Ruby and Sapphire are the two latest versions of the original Pokémon game for the Game Boy.) Three already-booked expansions will hit this year,
More Star Wars cards that don’t suck quite so much
The new-model WotC Star Wars TCG, that launched so auspiciously with box shots of Anakin and freakin’ Jar Jar, got better with the New Hope expansion. In the blessed absence of Episode 3, it stands to get much better by the end of the year with the Battle of Yavin
Spongebob CCG details, sort of
Upper Deck’s SpongeBob SquarePants CCG will debut in April, and expansions are already planned for June and October. It’s alleged that the game will likely appeal to older fans of the show as well as kids, and Lord knows, Gregory Horror Show points to UD’s skills at simple and elegant
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
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
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,
Warhammer Fantasy CCG gets title, preview art
You know, if you keep crying ‘war’ like that, sooner or later there’ll be a real war and no one will notice. Which, unless you’re an oil baron, would be pretty bad. So shape up, whippersnapper, and get off my lawn!
Free Kasanova BRAWL deck from Cheapass and Savant Garde
Well the nice folks at have pointed us to Kasanova, a character for BRAWL that was licensed and co-designed by Savant Garde. From here you can download a PDF of all of the cards, print them out on card stock, cut them and have a new Brawler (not for free,
