A stand-alone GUMSHOE game based on the works of HP Lovecraft By Kenneth Hite
Trail of Cthulhu is a new GUMSHOE system game under license to Chaosium, set in the 1930s.
It supports both Pulp (for Indiana Jones, Robert E. Howard, thrilling locations sorts of games) and Purist styles of play(for intellectual horror and cosmic dread). HP Lovecraft's work combined both, sometimes in the same story.
It includes a new take on the creatures, cults and gods of the Lovecraft's literature, and addresses their use in gaming. It adds new player backgrounds, and bulk out the GUMSHOE system to give intensive support for sanity, incorporating into the rule set the PCs desire to explore at the risk of going mad.
This product adds a new dimension to D&D games and gives Dungeon Masters an easy and inexpensive way to include great-looking terrain in their games. This set provides ready-to-use, configurable tiles with which to build exciting dungeons, temples, and monster lairs. This accessory for the D&D game contains six double-sided sheets of illustrated, die-cut terrain tiles printed on heavy cardstock.

If you’re a fan of fantasy artwork and literature, the An Adventurer's Guide to Eberron makes an excellent addition to your library or coffee table. It brings the world of Eberron to life visually and gives non-Eberron players a glimpse into a rich world of magic and mystery.

Card Game; 2-5 Players by White Wolf
"I don’t care what you think, Mr. President. If those reactor codes aren’t in my possession by this time tomorrow, I will unleash a meteorite that will plummet into the United States! Then all will rue the day you defied... Doctor Dookie!"
Pfffft.
"Sorry."
Mwahahaha! is a non-collectible card game of mad scientists and global domination for 2 to 5 players.
You assume the role of an evil genius who builds a criminal empire and constructs a doomsday device with which to cow a trembling humanity.
But you’re not the only one with grand machinations. Other players rival you for absolute mastery.
He who completes his device first and collects the highest ransom is declared the winner - and ruler of the world!
This strategy card game includes:
* 10 different mad scientists to portray
* 36 Empire Cards, the factories, businesses and institutions that are the unassuming face of your evil empire
* 40 Minion Cards, agents and henchmen to pit against your rivals
* 20 maniacal doomsday devices to build
Your goal is to quickly pitch as many discs as possible, through the trap door, into the opposite camp. But beware, your opponent is trying to do it too! Boisterous matches await you, that will intoxicate the players and the spectators alike! Beautifully made of solid wood, Le Passe-Trappe Micro is intended for players from 4 to 104 years old. Players 2, Ages 4+
In the summer of 1926, a Miskatonic University field trip got lost while touring through New England, and found itself in the shadowy, monster-infested town of Innsmouth.
The locals didn’t take kindly to the outsiders’ poking around and, under cover of night, kidnapped them. The Miskatonic students and faculty are now separated from each other and being held captive by the fiendish, fish-like Deep Ones, who mean to sacrifice them to their watery god Dagon. What the Deep Ones don’t know, however, is that one of the students has escaped, and he’s not leaving without his friends... Players 2-5, Ages 10+
Zombies!!! 4 gets improved art and some rules clarifications for the second edition.
All of your hard work has paid off and now you stand here in the dark and lonely wood. Don't worry about that howling in the distance. It's probably nothing...
Who ever heard of a zombie dog anyway?
The goal of Zombies!!! 4: The End is to be the first player to successfully "undo" the spell that is making the dead rise. This standalone or expansion, for two to six players, features an ever changing map and an always-hungry pack of undead dogs.
Players take turns playing map tiles, placing zombies, running furiously, screaming, fighting and generally creating havoc. Zombies!!! 4 can be played alone or combined with any other Zombies!!! set(s).
Components: 30 new map tiles, 50 event cards, 6 humans, life and ammunition tokens and... 100 PLASTIC ZOMBIE DOGS!!
The neighborhood has certainly gone down hill since you’ve arrived. Food is in short supply. Ammunition is running low. And let’s face it, the zombies make it really hard to get around.
If only you could remember where you put your car keys... As if survival wasn't hard enough the first time, now we're going to add more challenges and more options with this expansion set.
