Games Workshop New Releases

 Releaseing Sept 19th 

Your descent into the new edition of Necromunda continues as House Escher and House Goliath get new characters and new rules in a series of Underhive Journals.

The Underhive Journals are new format, soft cover books that add new gang-specific content for campaign play, so players can fight over territories that reflect their gang, take appropriate side jobs for their skills, and draw from a whole new list of Gang Tactics.  

These new gang characters are bringing backup in the form of the Goliath Forge Bosses & Sumpkrocs and Escher Gang Matriarchs & Phyrr Cats gang boxes, available separately for the first time.

Diamond Bankruptcy

 

The announcement of a settlement in the long running Diamond Comics bankruptcy case may bring a less than satisfactory ending to the affair (See “Settlement with Some Diamond Consignment Vendors Proposed”). Companies that consigned product with Diamond now get access to their products, Sparkle Pop has to charge reasonable fees to ship out companies consigned products or allow a third party company to do so but it appears the consigned products sold by Diamond are gone, leaving the owners of the consigned products missing some $800,000 in products.

Star Wars D&D

 

Choosing to publish a Star Wars version of Dungeons and Dragons is an interesting choice to put it mildly. Although WotC had significant success with its d20 Star Wars RPG and later the Saga Edition, both have been out of print for well over a decade, with the gap filled by Edge Studio’s set of Star Wars RPGs. Star Wars in the table top gaming field, with the exception of the Star Wars Unlimited trading card game, has seen a marked decline in interest over the past 5 or so years. Going up against an already existing product line using a brand that has seen a significant drop in engagement in recent years does not make a lot of sense so I hope WotC has done its research on this.  I do have high hopes for the announced Dark Sun and Greyhawk launches in 2027 though.
