For Call of Cthulhu 1920's

In dim forgotten recesses of the world lurk mind-twisting horrors. Through the use of human agents, these horrors work to thwart humankind's destiny.

However, not all of these human agents are willing partners. Many times have the monsters resorted to subtlety and intrigue to further their ends, rather than gross displays of wanton destruction.

Andrew Keetling is one such unwilling agent. A successful Boston businessman, he has disappeared and is now held captive, in a mansion of madness.

Precis Intermedia Gaming has released a set of Disposable Heroes for its Rune Stryders game. Rune Stryders is "a new direction in fantasy roleplaying. The game introduces Stryders, towering war machines (think mecha) brought to life through runic magic and guided by skilled pilots... Runic magic is not limited to powering war machines, however. Mages use the language of Rhun to cast deadly spells, and runed items command hefty prices and are treasured among those who trust their lives to their weapons and gear."

Pardulon has taken a break from its architectural miniatures for wargaming and roleplaying terrain. They expect to release the Heavy Battle Tank Mk. XI pictured below, on April 23. From the product catalog listing:


Multi-part resin kit.

This massive tank model is ideally suited for Pulp, VSF or Alternative Reality type games. Armed with 2 sponson guns, two machine guns and a turret cannon, it poses a severe threat to the enemy forces.

The turret can be turned and comes with a separate hatch which can be left open to position a commander figure in the turret. The machine guns are separate as well, and can be positioned in the desired angle.

The amount of detail makes this model interesting not only to gamers, but also to painters and diorama builders.

This kit will be supplied with a set of fast-playing rules for tank battles.

Length: 17 cm
Width: 9.7 cm
Height: 6.5 cm

The kit comes unassembled and has to be painted.

Press Pass Inc. looking for playtesters for new TCG

The following article was imported from our old content management system on 08/10/2008. It may contain missing links and missing images which we do not plan to go back and correct.We apologize for any inconvenience.

From the press release on the Fullmetal Alchemist web site:

March 26, 2007. Press Pass, Inc. (formerly known as JoyRide Entertainment/RC2) is looking for individuals and groups who would be interested in joining the ranks of our playtesters for our upcoming trading-card game. An announcement regarding this game will be made around the time of GAMA Trade Show in late April. As a result, we can’t go into details yet about the property the game is based on; suffice to say that it is a popular franchise in current production, as opposed to a property that has not yet been viewed by the general public.

Interested parties should send an e-mail to jlwinter@presspassinc.com with their name, mailing address, date of birth, and a brief description of why you want to playtest. Keep the following things in mind:

First, you need multiple people to playtest. If you and a group of friends want to playtest, only one of you should apply. Give a brief description of who your playtest group (preferably 4+ people) would consist of. And be certain everyone else in your group understands the rules listed here.

Second, playtesting is a lot of work, few rewards, and very little glory. Groups are expected to meet for a few hours each week (with exceptions in case of emergencies or other obligations, of course) and submit regular reports. Please don’t apply if you just want to see cool cards or offer critiques through e-mail. Playtesters playtest.

Third, while we value everyone’s opinions, you’ll need to keep it civil. Critiquing cards is fine; acting insulting is not. Likewise, if you’re easily offended at someone criticizing your ideas, this might not be for you.

There is no obligation. If you are approved, we will send you an e-mail asking if you still want to playtest after the game is announced. If you don’t wish to participate at that time, you can simply say so.

Thanks, and we hope to hear from you soon!

The following article was imported from our old content management system on 08/10/2008. It may contain missing links and missing images which we do not plan to go back and correct.We apologize for any inconvenience.

Conte Collectibles has received its first shipment of Sons of the South metal Civil War figures. Introductory Pricing ranges from $32 to $75. Those who purchase all six sets get a seventh free for ordering early.

From the description on their web page:

We have just today (3/19/07) received the first advance shipment of the much talked about & awaited Sons of the South American Civil War sets. I am extremely proud of this new range of Civil War figures...without any doubt I can assert that this range sets a new standard for us and is an exciting step forward from our already highly popular range of Civil War figures which have depicted the "Late Unpleasantness Between the States" for the past seven years.. As great as our previous Civil War figures have been, THESE take things to the next level......

These stalwart fellows look more like living, breathing warriors than they do toy soldiers. My intention was to create the utmost in realism with this range and make the collector feel as though you 'are there' just moments before the Sons of the South crash into the Union line. Intensity, determination, pride and self assuredness is amazingly 'written' onto the faces and the body language of these figures.....as is pain when the inevitable casualties occur.. These gentlemen will give their all for Master Robert and their beloved South.

These sets are so unique that they all have been labeled as "Signature Sets" and make their appearance in deluxe new packaging. When you hold these fellows they might at first seem more substantial than usual due to the extra 'heft' of the pewter in the larger than usual bases/stands. (We've received lots of requests -ever since our Rangers/Indians series was released-- that we increase the size & detail of the bases/stands of all of our other ranges.....we've listened.

Seven new sets numbered SOS-002 through SOS -008 are in the warehouse. The office is calling to confirm preorders first and then will commence general shipping . If you've been waiting for these please call or email immediately as this advance shipment will sell out within the next 10 days (and then it may be over a month or more until the next batch arrives)

These sets are the first seven of 16 new ACW sets which were premiered in prototype form at OTSN and created a general frenzy due to the incredible sculpting, enhanced painting and larger figure stands/bases.

These sets are ALL 'fine pewter' (not less expensive white metal alloys used by many in the toy soldier world). Additional 'waves' of this series will have hand to handsets and plenty of Yankee opponents.

The prices for these sets are slightly higher than what we've charged for past ACW offerings due to the additional pewter used, a more intricate level of painting & the amazing sculpting .... resulting in heretofore unseen animation and action.

All seven sets portray tanned, weathered (sometimes grizzled & dirty), and weary Confederate veterans in action...in the midst of any number of historic charges. Most collectors who see these immediately conjure up images of the final moments of Pickett's Charge.

The following article was imported from our old content management system on 08/10/2008. It may contain missing links and missing images which we do not plan to go back and correct.We apologize for any inconvenience.

Blue Guidon Games has released The SS Abyss covering the German offensives in Hungary during 1945. This DTPro release is shipped in a box with die-cut counters and is currently in stock as of this writing. The Blue Guidon web site describes the game this way:

The SS Abyss is an operational simulation of two of the last major German offensives of World War II conducted in Hungary, 1945. The first, Konrad 3, occurred from January 18-26. It was the final attempt to relieve the encircled SS units at Budapest. The second, Spring Awakening, occurred in the exact same area from March 6-18. This last major offensive consumed the remains of the SS striking power of the 6th SS Panzer Army, rebuilt from the ruins of the Ardennes offensive. Ironically, Konrad 3 had gained more using weaker forces, primarily due to the defenses the Russians had created for Spring Awakening. While Konrad 3 had a real purpose, Spring Awakening was called a waste by the commander of the 6th SS Panzer Army. It was the “Hungarian Kursk.” Designed by Perry Moore.

The game is a "DTPro" release:
• Gamebox with full-color cover
• 22x17 color map on two 11x17 sheets
• 280 die-cut double-sided counters
• Two identical player aid cards
• A 12-page rulebook

Available for $35.00.

Privateer Press to Release Card Game

Seattle, WA. March 19, 2007 - Today leading game publisher Privateer Press announced the release of a new card game. Infernal Contraption™, an infectiously fun card game for 2-4 players of age 12 and older, will be unleashed world-wide starting this summer.

In the game goblin mechanics race to assemble often-backfiring, nigh-uncontrollable magical machines. Through the strategic placement of arcane components like arcantric funnels, chthonic grinders, and entropic processors just to name a few, these crazy goblins risk life and limb to overcome the competition with the ultimate Infernal Contraption.

Designed by Matt Wilson, the award-winning designer of WARMACHINE® and HORDES™, Infernal Contraption features the same celebrated fast, intuitive game play found in all Privateer Press games. Illustrated by WARMACHINE and HORDES concept artists Chris Walton and Rob Hawkins, the game's brilliant full-color cards are lavishly designed and feature hilarious goblins racing to complete the construction of their maniacal machines.

"We are very excited to be releasing Infernal Contraption," said Matt Wilson, Creative Director of Privateer Press. "With both HORDES™ and WARMACHINE® running smoothly at full-steam, the development team has had time to explore new directions and develop exciting new games.
