Pulp Fiction Comics & Games

Whoa-o-o, it’s Magic, you kno-o-o-ow.  Never believe it’s not sooooooo!

Be happy you can’t actually hear me sing that.  Not good.

Anyway, it is Magic.  Magic the Gathering to be specific.  And to be even more specific, it’s a bunch of Magic rares.  Never done this on here before, but as Pulp just picked up a couple of important, sought after rares, figured it might be worth a try to post them up on here.

First off, we currently have three Tezzerets in stock.  That’s three Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas cards.  Also, we’ve got a Mox Opal, Sword of Feast and Famine, Vengevine, Hero of Bladehold, Arid Mesa, Thrun the Last Troll, and Marsh Flats.  If you’ve been needing any of these cards to flesh out a deck, come get to’em before they’re gone.

The Resident Evil Deck Building Game dropped its eagerly awaited second set this week, dubbed Alliance.  Why do I say second set and not expansion?  Because, though this set can be played in conjunction with the original (expanding it to allow for 8 players), it is also a standalone game.  Think Dominion:  Intrigue.  In fact, just think Dominion, because if you’ve played that game, you’re going to be able to understand Resident Evil in a flash.  What it adds to the dynamic is a monster fighting element where players “explore the mansion” to battle zombified baddies and the ability to control a character card (Chris Redfield, Jill Valentine, the whole bunch).  Alliance also adds a new “Partner” play system that gives gamers the ability to team-up with others as they fight monsters.  As one would expect, a bunch of new characters, creatures, and weapons are also included.

YOU SHALL NOT PASS…actually, we’d be completely alright if you wanted to pass, like, that’d be fine.  Totally.  If my awkward fumbling hasn’t clued you in, Fantasy Flight‘s new Lord of the Rings Card Game has appeared on sleeves.  A co-op or single player game, LotRCG has players teaming up to complete various scenarios packaged in the game.  This game is in a line of living card games, such as Call of Cthulhu and Warhammer Invasion, which means new expansion decks, with new characters, scenarios, and creatures, will come out on a fairly regular basis.  And, if I might say, the card art is quite fetching.

Finally, an important restock item.  Mouse Guard the RPG is back in stock.  If anyone has been waiting with baited breath for this gorgeous hardcover to come back in print, they are allowed to breath again.  Based on the popular Mouse Guard comic series, Luke Crane has transferred the rich world of the comic into an elegant roleplaying game.  Featuring artwork from David Petersen, the creator of Mouse Guard himself, this book contains all a game master or player will need to know in order to build a world and begin exploring.  The presentation of the book couldn’t be better; the dimensions match those of the comic hardcovers, so this book can sit next to them on your shelf with no shame whatsoever.
