Leisure Games Presents: D&D Day @ The London Dungeons - Friday 6th June
D&D 4th Edition News
UK gamers (or indeed anyone willing to make the trip!) are invited to join Wizards of the Coast, the UK D&D team, and Leisure Games in celebrating the UK launch of Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition at The London Dungeon. The event takes place the evening of Friday, 6 June in central London.
Tied in to Worldwide D&D Game Day, which takes place the following day, the UK launch party will feature 4E play in the form of the WWDDGD adventure, along with D&D miniatures, Three-Dragon Ante, and Inn-Fighting. In addition, we’ll have snacks, drinks, and a load of dungeony goodness. Best of all, we’ll be joined by the UK WotC and D&D staff, along with lead 4E designer Rob Heinsoo, who’s coming all the way from Renton, Washington in the US. Rob will be available to answer questions, share a few secrets and sneak peeks, maybe run a couple encounters, and generally hang out.
Last year, Leisure Games and WotC hosted a WWDDGD event at The London Dungeon, and it was a real blast. With the unveiling of 4E, we’re looking forward to this year’s event being even more fun.
Festivities kick off at 7:00 PM and run until midnight Friday, 6 June. The London Dungeon is at 28 Tooley Street, SE1 2SZ, adjacent to the London Bridge tube station.
Admission is free, but there is a limit to the number of people we can accept so you must sign up in advance. To sign up, contact Leisure Games at 020 8346 2327 or mike@leisuregames.com.

Hi all,
Sorry for the lack of maintainence and posting to the LJ group with New Releases since earl March. Things have been very hectic for me outside of work and I've had a fair amount of time out of the office which has meant more rushing around when I have been in! Nothing major's been keeping me away - just things like moving house, conventions and holidays - but it did put a dent in my available time to get the New Releases up here in addition to the website and store mailing lists.
Anyway, I'm back now and we'll get back on track from today. If you are interested in previous weeks releases please check out the Leisure Games site for details (we keep the last ten weeks worth of announcements online in the New Releases section) or mail me and I'll see if I can copy and paste them over for you on demand.
Without further a do though, hre are this week's bunch...

Fantasy Flight Games to publish Dark Heresy RPG, Talisman, UFS CCG and more!
The news is finally out. I've been biting my tongue regarding this for a few days and wasn't expecting the annoucnement to come out until GTS Vegas in April, but I'm glad it's now officially announced.
It was a sure bet that Dark Heresy, et al, weren't going to be without a home for long. I have no idea how many companies approached GW about the licenses but I'm really glad that FFG have secured the deal as they have done a great job on the other GW reprints they did and have superb quality games.
Here's the press release:
Fantasy Flight Games to Exclusively Publish Board Games, Card Games, and Roleplaying Games based on Games Workshop properties.Second deal to include Sabertooth Games' Universal Fighting System CCG
Roseville, Minnesota (February 22, 2008) – Fantasy Flight Games (“FFG”) and Games Workshop (“GW”) jointly announced today that they have reached an agreement for Fantasy Flight Games to become the exclusive publisher of board games, card games (including collectible card games), and roleplaying games based on Games Workshop’s family of renowned intellectual properties including Warhammer Fantasy Battles and Warhammer 40,000. Additionally, the deal will grant FFG the exclusive rights to publish new versions of the classic board and card games titles published by Games Workshop over the last 25 years.
Additionally, a second agreement between the parties will transfer the publication rights and system of the Universal Fighting System CCG formerly published by Sabertooth Games, to FFG.
“We are just so thrilled to partner with Games Workshop in such an encompassing deal,” said Christian T. Petersen, CEO and founder of FFG. “Not only will we be able to continue the publication of some phenomenal roleplaying, card, and board games currently on the market but we look forward to creating new games for the popular GW universes!”
"In Fantasy Flight Games, we’ve found a partner who shares our passion for gaming and our dedication to producing the highest quality products,” said Andy Jones, Head of Legal and Licensing for Games Workshop. “!e legacy of our board, card, and roleplaying games is in the best possible hands with them, and we are extremely excited about the prospects of seeing some fabulous new games set in our universes as well. ”
This is the beginning of an exciting new era for the Universal Fighting System," said Stephen Horvath, CEO of Sabertooth Games. “Fantasy Flight Games are the perfect choice to carry on the UFS line, and fans can expect great new content and more fantastic events supporting their favorite CCG going forward.
FFG will take over the production of Talisman, and plan to produce a new printing and expansions for the 4th edition of this ever-popular classic board game. Further, FFG will continue production and new-product support for the Universal Fighting System CCG, the Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay RPG, and the new smash-hit Dark Heresy RPG. More details on FFG’s publication plans for these titles will be provided in the weeks to come.
The agreement does not include certain GW titles in which miniatures feature as the predominant component of the game, such as Space Hulk and Blood Bowl.
Universal Fighting System CCG will continue to be sold as starter and booster packs in a traditional CCG format. FFG has no current plans to adopt the game to its LCG™ (“Living Card Game”) sales model.

Black Industries To Close
Very sad news - especially considering Dark Heresy - The Warhammer 40,000 RPG was only released last week and has sold out of it's 20,000 print run already!
We're getting a last shipment of Dark Heresy this week and then have our figures crossed they decide to reprint the Core Rules.

My bad, I'm very behind on keeping you guys and gals upto date with the New Releases here in LJ-land.
Blame it on the holiday season combined with various staff members (including myself) coming down with colds.
I'll play catch up now though and will endeavour to stay on the ball in the coming weeks and months of 2007.
I'd also like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their support and wish you all the best for the year ahead.
Right, on with the new releases...
