Check out the latest releases from Impressions!  We’re sending out a whole bunch of new RPG releases, including the Investigator Weapons, Volume 1 from our new client, Chronicle City!

Check out their first release in addition to many others here.

Richard and I start by talking about the industry effects of Steve Jackson Games announcing their desire to purchase game companies.  We then barrell through a whole bunch of recent releases (Hirelings, Medieval Mastery, Fallen City of Karez, Mutant Epoch RPG supplements) and show off a couple upcoming games (Viticulture, Sushi Go).  It’s all rounded out with Richard leading a discussion about his predictions on the evolution of game printing and shipping.

Impressions welcomes Spielbox to mass distribution in the U.S.! Look for the newest issue from your friendly local game distributor this May!  Spielbox, the world’s most widely read board game magazine, has been published in English since the first 2010 issue. It is shipped all over the world. The English version is sent about two or three weeks after the German edition. Spielbox is in its 33rd continuous year of publication by w. nostheide verlag, starting in 1992. Currently, there are seven issues per year.

In Fallen City of Karez, each player will take the role of a lord of one of the guilds who seek to tighten their grasp on the rising city. The players will strive to maintain a balance between keeping the city safe for its citizens by sending exploration parties to defeat any threats, and at the same time attracting to the emerging city new adventurers wishing to fill their pockets with fortunes and their names with glory.

Aldo and Richard discuss our local convention, DunDraCon, with interviews right on the show floor with retailers, asking them what it takes for a new and/or small press publisher to get the game on their store shelves.

Aldo and Richard talk about how to get a store to carry your game.  We also include a great walkthrough Richard experienced at Boardwalk; a game store in Greenville, SC. We also highlight the latest Impressions releases: “Minigame Library” from Level 99 Games, “Hirelings: The Ascent” from Prolific Games, “Town of Kalas” for Castles & Crusades from Troll Lord Games, a new edition of “Hellas” from Khepera Publishing and Advanced Adventures #26 from Expeditious Retreat Press.

Come join Richard and Aldo talk about board games going digital, in addition to watching us “get into the game” with Out of Space from Pelgrane Press, Conquest Tactics from Zeitgeyser Games, Raiding Parties: Brethren of the Coast from Nick Pace Ent. and Zing Pow from Ninja Mime Games.

Releases include Town of Kalas for Troll Lord’s Castles & Crusades RPG,  Advanced Adventures #26 from Expeditious Retreat Press, the revised and expanded Hellas RPG core book, the Minigames Library from Level 99 and Raiding Parties: Brethren of the Coast from Nick Pace Games.

Also, unfortunately, too many of the new Cutthroat Caverns base set (S&D0040) and Cutthroat Caverns: Fresh Meat (S&D0045) had manufacturing errors with card production and tray inserts.  Because of this, the printer has graciously replaced all base sets and Fresh Meat products.  At the same time, the manufacturer has produced replacement decks and trays for those that have a problem with the previous run of games.  All replacement items are $0.00 – please order what you need to take care of errors only.  Graphical representation of the replacements and details can be found here on this PDF file.
