There’s a lot of buzz lately about Cyberpunk the CCG. Around my area, much of that buzz is gamers asking “What’s it like?” or “Where can I get it?” It seems some local retailers have been reluctant to buy into another collectible game, at least until it’s a verified Runaway

Chaosium goes dark
Despite repeated product delays (Secrets of Japan, anyone? Thought not), Chaosium is getting a more regular product flow going lately. Cthulhu Dark Ages is obviously just kind of another repackaging, and takes more than a page from White Wolf, but the cover looks sharp for a change, and I bet

Expendable Superheroes of the World Unite!
