I've played Maul of America and I was pretty torn about it. First off you get this huge box, but the pieces for the game are pretty cheap, especially the map (which is semi-modular). The game itself was fun with one of the players becoming a zombie (didn't like him anyway) and everyone else...

There has been a lot of confustion about what the retail price was. At first we were told the retail price was $49.95. Then we were quickly informed that there was no retail price, WOTC was just selling it to retailers for a flat fee (usually it is a percentage of the retail cost) and at the...

I agree wholeheartedly. I'm impressed you found something on their website that mentions Farscape. I remember it had a small tab once on their site and that disappeared. Since then I've never found anything on their site mentioning it. The people who have been clamoring for this book are the...

We'll have it at our usual 30% off. Slay on.

Shadow World looks really fun. I personally can't wait for Wierd War II stuff to start being dual-statted. Then I wouldn't be afraid of arming more of the Germans with MG42s.

Just curious if anyone has heard any kind of update on Farscape. The last message about it said available at the end of July. Anyone heard any new news?

In the interest of blatant self-promotion, might I recommend: Back Alley Comics

Yeah Chronopia is a really cool game. Excelsior Entertainment has the rights to it and is putting out a new rulebook as early as next week. They have stated that there will be d20 stats for all the minis which is so cool, imagine goblins riding giant wasps or four-armed trolls. The mini's do...

You might also do a google search for the rec.games.miniatures.misc FAQ. There are tons of good hints on painting. I always keep a copy of it near my paints.

Conspiracy X If you are doing an X-Files type game, you have to get the Conspiracy X rulebook (either the standard one or the recently released GURPS one). It would be relatively easy to incorporate the world and more importantly the cell creation system into either Spycraft or CoC. There...

We sell most miniatures at 30% off of retail (Games Workshop being the noticable exception), including box sets. Also we are having a mega-sale on Chronopia miniatures (fantasy skirmish game). Prices are 40%-79% off. Truck on down and see if there is anything that catches your eye. Thanks.

Rolemaster had some very interesting experience rules. You would get XP for having great success in a skill (similar to a D&D crit success) You would get an XP award for excellent role-playing You would get XP for dying. Just a few suggestions

Whenever we had a perm marker stain on our whiteboard, we found if you totally color over the stain with a regular eraseable marker, it will remove the perm marker. As for a battlemat, we tried acetone once (on the phallus of doom, don't ask) and it took off the stain, and the coloring, and the...

We had a party once (in Rolemaster) where our leader got his arm cut off. We put it back on, of course. Later in the campaign I was getting a little frustrated with the party's lack of direction so I started giving orders. One of the players turned to me and said: "Who cut your arm off and...

This game has gotten me pretty excited. The rules are quick but have a decent amount of tactics on it and even some of the more "useless" figures (like the Hydra and Skrull figs) have their time to shine. I believe they lightly dust each figure with heroin just to keep me playing.

Man don't I know that pain. Growing up my sister got all this cool stuff with her name on it, but I always had to draw a line on the C and try to make it look like a K *sigh*. On the plus side, Erik does mean "Ever-powerful, ever-ruling." Battle On, Erik Dewey

I understand your hesitation, and I hope any of our customers will respond. We try very hard to be everything you want in a game store: fast, cheap, and reliable. We are gamers too and started Back Alley Comics because our local stores could not meet our needs. You might want to check out our...

We sell the Dwarven Forge stuff at 25% off retail price. Let us know if you are interested. Personally, I like using www.Hirst Arts.com molds for my dungeon creating. A little more work but much more flexible. Battle On.

You can get them from us We carry Reaper miniatures and sell them at 30% off. Games Workshop miniatures are available for 20% off. Thanks.

\ Sorry, should have been more specific, they have a bunch of different plasters there. The one I got was Denstone, the price seems to have gone up a little since looking at it you now get 50 pounds for $39.54, but that still includes shipping and is a great deal. (My guess is they saw a spike...
