We’ve had a few new licensed games come in that we’re pretty excited about: Shadowrun: Crossfire has been a huge hit. It’s a co-operative deckbuilding adventure game set in the sci-fi/fantasy Shadowrun universe. Clue: Firefly let’s you play your favorite mystery game mashed together with the Firefly characters and places. River has been betrayed and handed over to the Alliance! Help the Serenity crew discover who is working with the Alliance, what they used to betray River, and where on Serenity the kidnapping took place. Was it Inara with the Med Kit in the Engine Room? Or Mal with the Leather Necklace in the passenger dorm? Solve the mystery and save River! And for you J.R.R. Tolkien fans, we have The Hobbit: The Battle of Five Armies, but the same folks who brought us War of the Ring. This 2-player game recreates the fierce struggle witnessed by Bilbo Baggins, at the end of his quest for the Lonely Mountain. It contains 126 gorgeously sculpted plastic figures. For you Adventure Time fans, we got in collector packs of the Adventure Time Card Wars game and don’t expect them to last long. And for you Munchkin players, we also have Adventure Time Munchkin! Lastly, we got in the Street Fighter Deck-Building Game. Take on the role of Ryu, Ken, Chun-Li, Balrog, M. Bison or one of the other well-known characters as you travel to exotic locales seeking new challenges! While you begin armed only with basic combat maneuvers, you will add new, more powerful cards to your deck as you go, with the goal of defeating as many Stage Bosses as you can.

When Tim Morgan told his high school guidance counselor that he wanted to publish games for a living, the response was a clueless, “Uhhhh, you’ll probably want some college then.” Twenty-five years later, while still not publishing games for a living, he has made games his life -- over twenty years as the manager of a game store in Seattle, playtester of more RPGs and board games than you can shake a stick at, and small-press publisher of several games and even more novels. And now, co-owner of the ‘Round the Table Game Pub in Lynnwood. He currently lives in Everett, WA, where he is the caretaker of four (no, five!) lolcats, the oppressive taskmaster of a teenaged daughter, and the devoted husband of a wonderful author. His latest work is Ellis: Kingdom in Turmoil, a full RPG rules system and setting, detailing a low-fantasy world where religion is king and morality matters.
