A visit to my local FLGS yielded some interesting tidbits today.
I asked them if anything new that was interesting to me was coming soon. Luckily for me, it turns out they got a catalog from one of their distributors today. That turned me into kid in candy store mode as I started asking about just about everything I enjoy.
Eventually they found it easier just to ask me if I cared about anything a particular company was producing. Chugging down the alphabet, slogging through Alderac, Asmodee, Days of Wonder, and Fantasy Flight...(that took like 25 minutes just for those four), we started cruising towards the RPGs I play. Sure enough, Shard studios came up. I kinda raised an eyebrow and said, "Still just the base stuff for their RPG?"
Their answer, "Nope, I'm seeing two products available for order or pre-order."
Me, "What? What two?"
FLGS, "World guide and martial arts guide."
Well, needless to say, I was slightly shocked to see BOTH, and so soon. Granted, this is a distributor catalog that likely has every conceivable product for a giant release window...but I was excited to say the least.
