It looks like Wizkids have gotten some sort of rights to the Lord of the Rings. They are going to issue a collectible game, which I assume would mean squad level style combat in the LOTR universe and also a boxed ‘semi-cooperative’ clix game. What that means I have no idea. Depending on what the figures look like I may try out the collectible game.

Pinnacle Entertainment Group looks like they are going into overdrive with the Space:1889 stuff. So if you are into Victorian pulp adventure they’ve got the goods. They just put out a set of bennie (benefits) poker style chips with the 1889 logo and artwork on them. I’ve got a set of the more generic bennie chips and I can tell you they are really pretty cool things to have when playing Savage Worlds.

Chaosium has a hardcover BRP Rulebook coming out that I am pretty jazzed about. I love the Basic Role Play System and am something of a book fetishist so this will most definitely be on my want list this year.
