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

So I was reading around in some old posts, and I found this thing about those baby remote-control tanks that could shoot each other. Well, that obviously didn’t go anywhere, probably because infrared isn’t very precise or articulate. But what if you could set down a table full of minis

Well, it looks like WK is in full-bore throw-things-at-the-wall mode again, but at least the things in question are getting kinda interesting. If you don’t feel like linking out to read that, this’ll be a Pirates-style polystyrene CSG, redubbed “PocketModel TCG” for less crypticness (and more collector appeal, no doubt),

Just when I was really ready to give up on them, WizKids announces Halo ActionClix. Hey, if you want to do a licensed product that actually has gamer appeal, getting the very first tabletop license for what amounts to the number one video game is not a bad approach. Hell,

A bunch of dudes in Antwerp have taken BattleLore, kept the cards and the hexes, and wound up with a compellingly different game anyway. Warning: not for those who fear PDFs. Or tables (like, the kind you look stuff up on).

Hellboy has given WizKids a reason to try a HeroClix/HorrorClix crossover product… other than the desperation retailers saw when WizKids announced the return period on HorrorClix would be cancelled for any distributor making a reorder. Even a windowed “Hellboy and the B.P.R.D Action Pack” with the Dark Horse Comics logo

1) Vikings in February. I now have serious concerns about the number of factions in the game, but still: Vikings. 2) The announcement of the Quest for Davy Jones’ Gold board game completely went by me. This either means I am thick-headed or that their marketing plan for this product

Though it somehow wasn’t mentioned in the company’s weekly newsletter, Paizo is now taking preorders for a Sorceror on Black Dragon limited edition repaint from next month’s Dungeons & Dragons Miniatures Game expansion, War of the Dragon Queen. The figure is only available to Dragon subscribers, and only 5,000 are

WizKids announces the Pirates of the Mysterious Islands expansion for PotSM, set for release in October. So what have we got here… new faction of submariney guys who hate everybody, new Mysterious Islands in every pack that have a bunch of game text to mess with you. And more monsters.

What was rumored is now confirmed: HorrorClix is licensing Alien vs. Predator. Since it was the lead choice in a WizKids consumer poll asking which licenses to go after, this shouldn’t come as a huge surprise. Now, do gamers dare hope for an Alien Queen figure to compliment the Great
