Shea Porr, President of the Camarilla, sent a letter to the club’s membership relating the judge’s decision to grant White Wolf‘s request to move the case to Atlanta. This may have killed the Camarilla’s chances in the lawsuit. The letter states that the Camarilla can no longer devote money to

Major gaming distributors Diamond and Alliance recently announced that WizKids will be lowering the discount they offer retailers across the board – all WizKids products will cost more for retailers to get, starting April 1st. They are not, however, raising their MSRP accordingly; rather than let you think they’re taking

This fall, Green Ronin will launch a d20 series to compliment their Master Class series (which starts with the Shaman’s Handbook this April).

It’s probably just me, but I knew nothing about until I saw it on the store shelf today. It isn’t just an alternate board in the Craigdarroch tradition; it’s got TV monitors for those all-important sightlines, rocket tubes for getting around the interesting board configuration… and it’s printed in two

Those damn dirty apes at ICv2 have the full story. So, FF now has a Dragon equivalent as well as a Dungeon equivalent. The announcement of Replay Games, a division devoted to “more experimental” games, is also interesting, although I can’t find anything further on it on the Fast Forward

Mike Mignola’s comic character, and all his cohorts, will bring their occult research agency, the Bureau of Paranormal Research and Defense,

Arrowflight, the first full-sized, non-electronic role-playing game from Deep7, ships this week.

The guys at Mongoose have posted details on the next book in their Encyclopedia Arcane d20 series, Battle Magic. In case you don’t quite understand what they mean by “Battle Magic,” here’s a quote from the press release: You are a battle mage, and you are never going to understand
