Reports are trickling in from Gencon that Fantasy Flight Games has stolen a march, as it were, and is selling products people didn't think would be available for months yet, if not longer. Of particularl interest to me is Black Goat of the Woods, an expansion for their Cthulhu-based boardgame, Arkham Horror. I think this is the first time I actively wished I could be at Gencon, just because I don't want to wait for the product to trickle its way through the normal distribution chain.
And to think just a a few weeks ago, I was patting myself on the back for not feeling the urge to indulge my "gotta catch 'em all" compulsion with the acquisition of The King in Yellow. My brain betrays me and immediately starts figuring out who I know at Gencon I could wheedle into getting a copy for me.
But no! I will stay strong, enjoy what I have and not worry about Black Goat until it shows up at the FLGS. Unless, y'know, someone offered to pick up a copy for me. But really, what are the odds of that?
