Shipping to Distributors in April 2007
Updates from the Warehouse
Gloom NewsWe received word yesterday that our reprint of
Gloom, our reprint of
Unhappy Homes, plus the new expansion
Unwelcome Guests are all scheduled to ship from their printer (here in the US this time, so no waiting months for trans-oceanic delivery) before the new year.
If all goes according to plan, we should start shipping the games to distributors in the first week of January.
Ancient Magic Ships Next WeekToday is the order deadline for our distributors for the new
Ars Magica sourcebook,
Ancient Magic. Our stagger shipping will begin on Tuesday, so that all our distributors in the US should have the books in hand on January 2nd, the release date. (In the case of non-US customers, if they've given me an order it has already shipped, unless there were also instructions to hold until after the holiday.)
Sold Out: Unknown Armies 2nd EditionWe have sold out of the
Unknown Armies 2nd Edition core rulebook. We will produce a third printing of the book in the new year, since its sales have remained quite steady; right now I just don't know when. (It really depends on cash flow and warehouse space, both of which will be really stretched by the huge Gloom reprint.)
March - Let's Kill: A Pretty Corpse
An Expansion Deck for Let's Kill
Designed by Aaron Pavao, Illustrated by A. Joe Rheaume"Live fast, die young, make a PRETTY CORPSE"
Sporks and weed whackers just not enough for to slake your bloodlust anymore? Looking for a little more madness in your mayhem? Just mix the 55 cards from A Pretty Corpse into your Let’s Kill deck and add even more distinctive stick figure art and gruesome humor to your next game … because the great thing about dead bodies is that you can make your own.

Seismic hit the top of this year's Christmas list for the guys over at OgreCave.com ... their "Twelve Games Under the Tree" list, that is! They point out that "This quick tile-laying title has deeper strategy than you might guess, and with its multiple game variants and easy gameplay, Seismic shakes up a classic boardgame style to create plenty of replay value."

Haunted Woods: Out of Print
One of the
Dungeoneer sets,
The Haunted Woods of Malthorin, has just sold out. At this point there are still lots of copies out in circulation (including the ones I'm shipping to distributors today, who snatched up the last of what we had), but we won't be able to restock retailers and distributors when they sell out.
