If you were going to release a new, illustrated version of one of the classic horror stories based on one of the classic horror monsters, what day would you say would be the best day to do that?

"Arbor Day?"

... No... Halloween!

"... oh... yeah, I suppose that would be better..."

It is, and that's just what Free League Publishing is doing with their new The Call of Cthulhu book.

Deep space. It's not a good place for your ship to break down. Unfortunately, that's just what's happened. And not only are you floating listlessly, but there's a leak and air is rapidly leaving the ship. It's a race to try and repair the ship and get going again. However, there's someone in the crew that is happy that the ship is slowly dying, along with the crew. Will the others be able to figure it out in time, or are they doomed? That's the story behind The Menace Among Us, a new semi-cooperative game from Smirk and Dagger that's available now.

Renegade Game Studios has announced Scott Pilgrim Miniatures The World, a new miniatures game that they will be bringing to Kickstarter next week.

The Germans are lining the beaches, looking across the English Channel, waiting for the Allies to make a play at taking their control away from mainland Europe. They're well equipped, with all manner of different weapons ready for action. This week's set of releases for Flames of War from Battlefront includes some anti-armor elements.

The amphibious landing. It's been a staple of warfare for thousands of years as water-based troops storm the beaches to fight a foe on the land. Warlord Games is bringing these exciting battles to your games of Black Seas and Black Powder with a new set of rules that they've posted up over on their website.

Hobbitses. They may be small, but don't discount their value to Middle Earth. The Shire may seem peaceful, but they have their own rogues and vagabons, along with just those with strong personalities.

It's always interesting to see who's working on the games we love. Over at Paizo, they've got quite a team working on products like Pathfinder and Starfinder. And there's been a lot of moving and shaking going on, with new hires and promotions happening all around. Go take a look at who's gone where and what they're working on now.

The Investigators are doing everything they can to stop the Great Old One from coming into our world and destroying everything. Are they too late? The ritual is already finished. The Great Old One stirs. And that's just what we get a look at in this preview of Arkham Horror: Last Hour, coming from Fantasy Flight. While the Investigators are doing what they can, that doesn't mean the evils are stitting still. In this article, we get a look at the Ancient Ones phase in the game.
