Fantasy Flight Games sold copies of Anima Beyond Fantasy at GenCon, and have announced that the game will be out this month. It’s now available for preorder at Amazon.com for a pretty good discount (and it’s actually being sold by Amazon). I’ve taken a chance and put my order in.
One of my two biggest search terms is Maid RPG. My only experience with it has been rolling up a character, but that was a lot of fun. Now that they’ve enabled ordering on their site, I’ve gone ahead and ordered a copy. I’ll review it once I get my copy (physical or PDF, doesn’t matter). I probably won’t be able to talk my usual D&D group to give it a whirl, so no play testing for me.
Looks like Heavy Gear is going 4th edition. No they’re not putting out a GSL version of the game, they’re actually releasing a new edition of their game. Steve Jackson Games and Dream Pod 9 will be selling the new version primarily as pdfs through e23. I’ve purchased some ebooks through them, they’re pretty good. If they were to also Print On Demand (POD) books, I definitely order a few.
