Beware the scourge of the Broken Coast!

The terrors of the high seas are now yours to command! Pirates of the Broken Coast is a 72-page full-color book for WARMACHINE that presents a rogue's gallery of ruthless sea dogs and notorious personalities drawn from the darkest dens and seediest seaports of the Iron Kingdoms. Prepare to assault your enemies with lightning-fast tactics and deadly combos the likes of which they have only heard about in bone-chilling tales.

WARMACHINE: Pirates of the Broken Coast includes all the warcasters, units, solos, unit attachments, and warjacks you need to field all-privateer armies of every description, as well as all the rules to integrate these mercenaries into existing faction and mercenary contract armies. Brand new fiction throws you into the world of these bloody buccaneers and adds new dimensions to the Iron Kingdoms storyline. Time to gather your crew of cutthroats and bring a new brand of terror to the battlefield!

There is also a limited special-edition Pirates of the Broken Coast Hardcover!

You wanted 'em—now you got 'em. Paizo has teamed up with Chris FitzPatrick and the crew at Crocodile Games to bring you a whole new line of unpainted metal Pathfinder miniatures starting this coming February!

The first wave of miniatures are all drawn from Pathfinder #1: "Burnt Offerings," beginning with the instant stars of the Rise of the Runelords Adventure Path—our goblins. A 4-pack of Goblin Pyros are just itching to ruin your festival. Add in a set of Goblin Warriors, and you'll have plenty of the little buggers to harry your PCs. Of course, goblins need leaders, and we've got some for you! Check out the Female Goblin Warchanter and the Goblin Commando on Goblin Dog.

It doesn't all end with goblins, though. We've got a Sinspawn, and, of course, the first adventure's big bad and her familiar: Nualia and Elyrium. Finally, we round out the assortment with Valeros, the iconic fighter from the cover.

Miniatures from Pathfinder #2: "The Skinsaw Murders" are due in March!

Some of the coolest dice around come from Q-Workshop, a quirky and fun company in Poland. We have been offering their full line of dice for a couple of years now. However, they've just taken their offerings to the next level—get ready to lose your sanity!

Call of Cthulhu Limited-Edition Dice are the perfect complement for any RPG that is tainted by a touch horror. These dice come in three colors: Black & Yellow, White & Black, and Glow in the Dark—perfect for gamers who like to play with the lights out!

Q-Workshop is also delving into the dice bag business! Both sides of the Elven Dice Bag look as though they are adorned with a protective spell written in an ancient elven script—perfect for storing magical and alchemical ingredients, herbs or lucky dice!

Exploring tombs and crypts with the treasure of the dead—or the undead—just lying there for the bold to claim is a classic Dungeons & Dragons scenario. With that in mind, Wizards of the Coast's latest Dungeon Tiles release has a touch of the grave about it!

Dire Tombs adds a new dimension to D&D, giving Dungeon Masters an easy-to-use and inexpensive way to include great-looking terrain in their games. This accessory for any fantasy RPG contains six double-sided sheets of illustrated, die-cut terrain tiles printed on heavy cardstock. You'll be able to custom-configure creepy crypts and terrible tombs to keep your players in suspense for ages.

Check out the whole line of Dungeon Tiles and add a new dimension to your game!

At the Essen Spiel in Germany this past October, one of the games that garnered a lot of buzz was Kingsburg from Elfinwerks, a new game company started by Will Niebling, the former President of Mayfair Games.

In Kingsburg, players are Lords sent from the King to administrate frontier territories. The game takes place over five years—a total of 20 turns. In every year there are 3 production seasons for collecting resources, building structures, and training troops. Every fourth turn is the winter, in which all the players must fight an invading army. Each player must face the invaders, so this is not a cooperative game.

The resources to build structures and train troops are collected by influencing the advisers in the King's Council. Each adviser on the King's Council will award different resources or allocate soldiers, victory points, and other advantages to the player that was able to influence him/her for the current turn.

At the end of five years the player that better developed his assigned territory and most pleased the King through the Council is the winner.

The horses pound the dirt, kicking up dust into the air, as their riders take deadly aim with their lances! A clean hit unhorses one knight and the crowd raises its voice in a hearty "Huzzah!" Elsewhere, the elven ranger takes careful aim, and lets her arrow fly, splitting her opponent's arrow in twain!

Ah, the sights and sounds of the fantasy tournament! Our latest GameMastery Map Pack, Map Pack: Tournament contains 18 full-color 5x8-inch map tiles, stunningly crafted by cartographer Corey Macourek, that combine to form a variety of tournament locations, including:

• Spectator Stands with Nobles Box
• Jousting Lanes
• Archery Field
• Combat Arena
• Challenger Tents

So sharpen up your player's skills and see if their characters are up to the challenge of the tournament!

Where has the year gone? It seems like only yesterday that we were dreaming up Pathfinder and our new Pathfinder Chronicles campaign setting!

(The adventure-only versions include the mini-adventure and map tiles, but not the three metal minis that come in the full version.) These seven adventures included some of the first nuggets of what has become our Pathfinder Chronicles campaign setting!

It's a great game for those family get-togethers this holiday season, and just the thing to get you ready for January's Nocturne expansion, which will add four all-new games and pieces for more players!

Over the last five years, the sculptors at Rackham have made some of the most evocotive and exciting metal miniatures. But starting with their new Confrontation: The Age of the Rag'narok Box Set, they've traded in the metal for prepainted plastic—and boy, do these minis look amazing!

The Age of the Rag'narok is the fourth edition of the Confrontation battle game. The game rules, adapted to a universe where every nation is fighting to prevail in the ultimate battle, are intuitive and quick to learn. They come with a mini-campaign of six scenarios, each playable in half an hour to an hour, preparation included.

Confrontation: The Age of the Rag'narok contains two assembled and painted armies: the Griffin and Wolf armies—that's 14 prepainted miniatures—ready to fight for your immediate gaming pleasure. The set also contains an 80-page rulebook and accessories.

One of the best-selling products of this year was Green Ronin's Deck of Many Things. Well, Chris Pramas and the gang are back with a follow-up, The Deck of Illusions.

This deck of cards is a tricky d20 magic item that has helped more than one adventuring party out of a tough jam. Just tossing a card creates an instant ally, or at least the illusion of one! Green Ronin's Deck of Illusions brings this wondrous item to life with 36 tarot-sized cards, with each fearsome threat marvelously illustrated. When you absolutely have to pull a red dragon or a frost giant out of your back pocket, reach for the Deck of Illusions!

Soaps By Willow snuck us a little surprise in our restock box this week. When we opened it up, not only did we get some Sandalwood and Black Cherry d20 soaps, but Willow included two new soaps just for the holidays!

The lime-scented Christmas Tree Gamer Soap is decked with sparkly bits to make the tree twinkle, while the peppermint-scented Snowflake Gamer Soap will keep you winter-fresh for the holidays. Like all of Willow's d20 soaps, these are handmade glycerin soaps that contain a 20-sided die in the middle. Both of the new designs are limited to the stock we have on hand, so order soon!

Mention the word "dragon" and players get all antsy. Visions of do-or-die battles and vast treasure hoards fill their heads. Now imagine a dragon graveyard being watched over by numerous dragons, and your players may very well wet their pants.

GameMastery Module J2: Guardians of Dragonfall is an adventure written by Anson Caralya for 11th-level characters. The players will investigate the untimely death of Auranorex, the greatest gold dragon in the world. To uncover the mystery of his demise, the heroes must travel to the one place forbidden to all mortals: the dragon graveyard. The heroes must risk their very lives if they are to uncover the secret behind Auranorex’s fate.

By popular demand, we've added a new subscription offering for those of you who want to take your Pathfinder experience to the maximum!

The new Pathfinder Chronicles Subscription is a perfect complement to your Pathfinder subscription; it will get you in on the full line of Pathfinder Chronicles campaign accessories, including sourcebooks, map folios, item cards tailored to the Adventure Paths, and more! Subscribers won't have to worry about missing any products, and you'll get a free PDF of all non-card products.

Subscribe now, and you can start with either the Rise of the Runelords Item Cards, available now; or the Rise of the Runelords Map Folio, due in February.

Unlike our other subscriptions, Pathfinder Chronicles products aren't on a monthly schedule; also, because several different product types are included, the price isn't always the same for each installment. You can, however, elect to combine Pathfinder Chronicles shipments with your other Paizo subscriptions to save on shipping costs.

Of course, we'll make sure that everything you need to play through an Adventure Path appears in Pathfinder, but if you want to make the most of the new Pathfinder Chronicles Campaign Setting, check out the Pathfinder Chronicles campaign accessories!

It is a cliche that every adventure must begin in a tavern, but what is almost equally true is that every adventure ENDS in a tavern, too. Adventurers like to release the tension by going to their favorite watering hole, hitting on the barmaids, roughhousing a little bit, and maybe drinking until they're thrown out. Well, if that sounds like your adventuring group, you're going to love The Red Dragon Inn from our partners at Slugfest Games.

Red Dragon Inn allows you to take the role of Dierdre the Priestess, Fiona the Volatile, Gerki the Sneak, or Zot the Wizard as they unwind after an adventure. You will drink, gamble, and roughhouse a bit, but keep an eye on your gold—the last conscious adventurer with gold wins the game. I could easily see a gaming group using this game as a way to play out their tavern encounters. Or you could just use it for out-of-game fun with your gaming group. In either case, Red Dragon Inn is a jolly good time!

Slugfest also has another another recent game, Tiki Mountain. The volcano god is angry, and anybody that lives on an island can tell you that an angry volcano god isn't good for anybody. In this game you race up the side of Tiki Mountain, trying to beat your fellow villagers so you can be the one who saves the island by appeasing the volcano god. You've got multiple paths to take, various items that can help you, and Tiki Totems to give you a leg up. Can you appease the volcano god before it all blows?

These two games have been selling like hotcakes, and they are loads of fun! We have them in stock, and they're perfect gifts for gamers on your shopping list.

Those of us who have been around since the beginning of Dungeons & Dragons might have fondness for an appendix in the back of the 1st edition DM's Guide that was like a gold mine. "Appendix N: Inspirational and Educational Reading" opened my world to the likes of Fritz Leiber, Michael Moorcock, Robert E. Howard, Andre Norton, and many other authors who had helped to shape the worlds of fantasy and science fiction. These authors then became my muses and led me to where I am today.

30 years later, Erik Mona is doing the same thing for a new generation of Game Masters and fans of science fiction and fantasy. Paizo's Planet Stories line of books has the mission of unearthing long-forgotten gems and introducing them to a new audience. Each month, you'll experience one of the classics that shaped not only D&D and adventure roleplaying, but also influenced the modern authors we all love.

And to make it easier for you to get these classics, we are proud to announce our Planet Stories subscription service. Each month, we'll ship you the latest Planet Stories book at a discount of 20% off of the cover price. You can even combine shipments with your Pathfinder and GameMastery Modules subscriptions to save on shipping. Further, for a limited time, we are allowing new subscribers to catch up on the Planet Stories books that have already been released—at the 20% discount!

Try Gary Gygax's Anubis Murders, where he weaves a fantastic tale of warring wizards that spans the world from the pyramids of ancient Egypt to the mist-shrouded towns of medieval England. Let Michael Moorcock amaze you in City of the Beast with Kane of Old Mars, a brilliant American physicist whose strange experiments in matter transmission catapult him across space and time to the Red Planet. Be amazed at the exploits of C.L. Moore's Jirel of Joiry in Black God's Kiss as the first significant female sword-and-sorcery protagonist swings her sword from one adventure to another. Join Henry Kuttner in Elak of Atlantis as his four long stories depict a brutal world of flashing swords and primal magic, touched by a hint of Lovecraft’s Cthulhu mythos. And finally, let Leigh Brackett, one of the the screenwriters of The Empire Strikes Back, woo you in The Secret of Sinharat as Eric John Stark breaks up the plans of the greatest criminals in the galaxy as they hatch a conspiracy of red revolution.

Just subscribe to Planet Stories and add the earlier books to your cart to qualify for the 20% discount.

Every great Dungeons & Dragons game has an evil antagonist at its center—often the focal point for the character's adventuring. Nothing is more fulfilling than bringing down the bad guy who has dogged your party over months of gaming sessions.

Wizards of the Coast's newest D&D book, Elder Evils, provides DMs with truly wicked threats to challenge high-level heroes. Each "elder evil" described in this nightmarish tome comes with a detailed description, stat blocks for the elder evil and its minions, tips for how to incorporate the elder evil into any D&D campaign, adventure seeds, and maps of the elder evil's lair (complete with encounters and room descriptions). The book also provides guidelines to help DMs create their own unique elder evils as worthy campaign villains and endgame encounters.

Best of all, the book includes contributions from Paizo's own Jason Bulmahn, James Jacobs, and Mike McArtor, so copies purchased from paizo.com will carry the John Hancocks of all three!

So load up your next campaign with some memorable villains and watch the sparks fly!

The first supplement for the Star Wars RPG Saga Edition has arrived! Starships of the Galaxy provides expanded starship rules; advice for creating space-combat adventures, talents, feats and skills; and—of course—a catalog of starships, including a cache of full-color deckplans.

So whether you want to be a navigator on a spice freighter or the best starpilot in the galaxy, make the jump to hyperspace with Starships of the Galaxy!

One of the cool things that we are doing with Pathfinder and Golarion is visiting various real-world myths and giving them the Pathfinder facelift. Both the Jersey Devil and the Wendigo have gotten the Pathfinder treatment and more will likely face the pen of James Jacobs before long.

One myth that hasn't seen the light of day in Pathfinder but sure as heck could is the Chupacabra. The mystery of the Chupacabra (or "goat-sucker") began in 1947 on the colorful isle of Puerto Rico. Beginning with the vicious deaths and draining of blood of various animals, including goats, the infamous Chupacabra mythos spread quickly throughout Latin America. Sightings stretch as far south as Chile, and as far North as Maine. While scientists often have alternate theories regarding the killings, no solid facts disproving the Chupcabra's existence have been found. And now you can get your own Chupacabra Plush from Toy Vault!.

And if, like James Jacobs, you're a BIG Godzilla fan, check out this BIG Godzilla! The Supersized Godzilla towers at a startling 20" tall and is the largest Godzilla plush to date. Tokyo, be afraid... be very afraid!

Lucasfilm's LucasArts and Industrial Light & Magic divisions have been working on a video game that promises to be revolutionary. Star Wars: The Force Unleashed harnesses new technology to create a video game that pushes the boundaries of realism. I got a chance to see part of the engine at work a couple of years ago, and, even though it was far from finished, it was phenomenal!

The story centers around Darth Vader's secret apprentice and his quest to eliminate the last of the Jedi. The video game isn't due until 2008, but you can get a sneak preview of your own with the latest expansion for the Star Wars Miniatures Game. The brand-new Force Unleashed Booster Packs are drawn from a 60-figure booster-only set featuring characters from the Expanded Universe of comics, novels and video games. In addition, fourteen of the figures in this set represent iconic characters from the Force Unleashed video game—and an additional 10 are huge figures!

A few weeks ago, we told you about the new Campaign Coins from King of the Castle Games. Our distributor apparently only ordered a small quantity, and we cleaned them out a while ago.

Well, we're pleased to announce that we've just in got a pile of Campaign Coins directly from the manufacturer in from Australia. It looks like these are going to be difficult to find at retail, at least for a while, so if you're interested in picking up a set, paizo.com is the place to go.

Each box contains more than 120 great-looking coins in four different metallic tones: copper, silver, gold, and platinum. They make a great compliment to Paizo's own GameMastery Item Cards—now, when your party divides up the loot, you can have as much fun divvying up the cash as you do the weapons and items.

Finally you can feel good about leaving cash on the table with Campaign Coins!
