Fantasy Flight Games Steal a March
Posted On 08/14/2008 22:42:08 by blinovitch

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?

They did well.  From what I've heard, the deals are super hot at Gen Con right now as companies are trying their damnest to ride out the bad economy.  I've heard the con is going well but industry insiders say that signs of stress are there and the deals have never been better on that floor.  FFG was smart to crank up the heat to generate interest and make the most of their time there!!

You know...you just might to check the deals going on there with peeps you know... get a good game early, save some $$...who can beat that??  Give in...come to the dark side...we offer cookies too
