Lots o' Small Press Releasing

Quite a few indie RPGs are releasing supplements next month. Due to the slow sales on most of their lines (when was the last time YOU bought a supplement for Qin: The Warring States), we will only bring in a few of them, except for special orders, of course. We will pick up the Victoriana expansion and the Gamescapes (because more maps are always good), but likely skip the others, unless, as I said, we get some pre-orders in for them. In general, if there's a game you like, the best way to ensure we stock it and expose it to more people is to pre-order it. That indicates to us there is a market and that if you like it, other people will as well.

Coming in November

Suave. Sophisticated. And deadly... Meet the Haverings, Victoriana's most infamous family: Nathaniel, head of the family and proof that the upper classes aren't always in charge; beautiful and decadent Susanna, Nathaniel's distinctly improper wife; Jonathan, fallen to terrible vice; Selina, a survivor from the gutter and the family's moral heart; Tobin, wizardly academic with a criminal side; and Patterson, because every now and then a gentleman needs a manservant to put the boot in... Havering Adventures provides full statistics for the Haverings, for use either as player characters or NPCs, and three action-packed ready-to-play adventures showcasing the Haverings' unique talents. - In "Lost Luggage", track down a rogue suitcase with some very unusual contents. - In "Behold, the Valiant ones shall cry", take to the skies in a luxury airship brimming with intrigue and secrets. - In "Dead Man's Hand", learn the secrets of a strange artefact being exchanged across the poker tables of London. Havering Adventures also contains a wealth of detail on the Victoriana setting, including horse racing, the Royal Family, and poker. And remember, as Nathaniel Havering says, "It's not really gambling unless you have something to lose..." Fancy your chances?	Swamps, full of gators, 'squitoes , and disease.

On one side of this tabletop battle mat you'll find an army camp that's fit for any fantasy campaign.

Entire cities are roaming graveyards, and even the countryside is overrun with creatures in search of living flesh.

More importantly—when you discover something that could save the world, will you be strong enough to deliver it to the right people? War of the Dead as a four-chapter adventure series that takes you from the first stages of the outbreak, and all the way into a world forever war torn and changed by the advancement of the Living Dead!	“Xianyang, the capital of Qin and the most beautiful city of all Zhongguo.
