We have been reviewing our business structure – and have decided on slight amendment – we will still continue to sell new gaming products – all you have to do is ask us for them.

But the change of focus is to assist with those hard to find items and our Previously Enjoyed Games (PEGS) , we want to find locate and obtain those gaming products you REALLY want and make you happier…  contact us via email / ask us at a convention / phone us and give us some details like item name, manufacturer (if known) price (how much you want to spend on it – minimum to maximum range), condition (if you just want a copy any copy, or if you want it in good to excellent or MINT etc) and how quickly you want it, next day or 30days or when possible the choice is yours. 

We will be selecting a few product ranges shortly that we consider are GREAT as a good solid product to offer you – our customers, more news to come…

Cubicle 7 Entertainment and Adamant Entertainment are pleased to announce they have formed a publishing partnership.

The deal sees Cubicle 7 handling production and marketing for Adamant’s print products, starting with Mars: Savage Worlds Edition in September. This fantastic Savage Worlds setting features sky-corsairs, ancient cities, warrior tribes and albino apes – the Mars of pulp fiction and Saturday morning serials.

Following in October is Thrilling Tales – a great blend of classic pulse-pounding excitement from the pulp magazines and cliffhanger serials of the 1930s and 40s, again using the award-winning Savage Worlds system.

“Adamant Entertainment are an Origins and Ennies Awards nominated company and Gareth-Michael Skarka is a visionary in the gaming field so we’re obviously delighted to have him, and his company, on board,” said Dominic McDowall-Thomas of Cubicle 7, “creating a partnership between the two companies has been something we’ve long spoken about and with the plans that Gareth has in place for the next few years I’m overjoyed that we can part of that process and dream.”

“I’ve been continually impressed by the talent, drive and enthusiasm that the Cubicle 7 crew bring to their projects, and I’m pleased that Adamant can now be a part of that,” added Gareth-Michael Skarka, Director of Adamant Entertainment.  “We’ve been on the same metaphorical page for a few years now, offering each other advice and assistance from time to time, so having the partnership ‘go public’ is very exciting.”

Victoriana is a fabulous fusion of Victorian adventure and fantasy myth, SLA Industries is a gritty futuristic urban horror fuelled by classic British punk imagery, whilst Starblazer Adventure is set firmly in the heart of classic 80’s space opera where gigantic fleets prowl the starlanes and devilish scientists operate enormous engines of destruction. The English translation of French publisher 7th Circle’s Qin propels players in to the epic fantasies and tragic events of ancient Chinese legend.

MMMGames brings you as we find it…

The long-awaited Doctor Who RPG from Cubicle 7/Mongoose will be released in October. Cubicle’s Doctor Who: Adventures in Time and Space (MSRP £45) is the third licensed Doctor Who RPG. FASA published one in the 1980s, which was followed by a Virgin Publishing release in 1991. Cubicle’s new Doctor Who RPG is based on the current iteration of the popular BBC TV series, and features lots of full color pictures from the show.

Cubicle’s Doctor Who RPG, which was created to appeal to both the experienced and first time gamer, comes in a deluxe box set that contains a 144-page Gamemaster’s Guide, an 86-page Player’s Guide, a 30-page Adventures Book, 4-page Quick Start Guide, Pre-Generated Character Sheets, Blank Character Sheets, Gadget Sheets, tokens and dice.

The new Doctor Who RPG was written by David Chapman, who penned several of Eden Studios’ products. Like the show’s Timelord, players in the game can visit any era of history and range across the universe, though they have to keep a wary eye out for Daleks, Cybermen, Sontarans, Plasmavores, Slitheen and others.

MMMGames is looking forward to this as some of our staff were involved with this…

Cubicle 7 will release Mindjammer, a sourcebook for the Starblazer Adventures RPG, in November.  The 160-page book by Sarah Newton is set in the Second Age of Space, a far future setting in which ultra-advanced technologies rub shoulders with lost and regressed worlds.

Mindjammer includes exotic races and new careers, sentient starship characters, far future technologies and psionics, new skills and stunts, new starships, rules for interstellar cultures and cultural conflict, starmaps, worlds and a detailed background of a huge Star Empire and its allies and foes, plus a complete campaign of four linked scenarios.

The supplement contains everything needed to play with the Starblazer Adventures rules.

Newton is working on additional adventure supplements for Mindjammer, as well as Starblazer Adventures:  Chronicles of Anglerre.

MMMGAMES – could this be the new space opera…

Nu Image/Millennium bringing back barbarian pic

Marcus Nispel has been set by Nu Image/Millennium Films to direct “Conan,” ending a nine-year development ordeal to reinvent the Robert E. Howard-created barbarian first immortalized onscreen by Arnold Schwarzenegger in 1982.

Production on the remake is set to start late this year in Bulgaria and South Africa. Nu Image/Millennium is making the film in a co-production with Lionsgate. Avi Lerner and Joe Gatta are producing with Fredrick Malmberg. Malmberg runs Paradox, the company that holds the rights to “Conan” and the other hero franchises in the Howard library.

The film will be the most financially ambitious ever for Lerner, with a script by Thomas Dean Donnelly and Joshua Oppenheimer, whose credits include “Sahara” and “Cowboys and Aliens.”

Paradox originally set the project at Warner Bros. but declined to ink a new rights deal after numerous unsuccessful attempts to make it with directors like Larry and Andy Wachowski and Robert Rodriguez. Malmberg then set it with Lerner in a seven-figure deal with strong progress to production stipulations. Lerner flirted with Brett Ratner last year, but the filmmaker could not commit in a timely fashion and Lerner couldn’t wait.

That opened the door for Nispel, who’ll make “Conan” his third redo, after “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre” and “Friday the 13th.” For Nispel, “Conan” is a job he has dreamed about since his childhood.

Nispel said he will blend his childhood imaginings of the character with the influence of the famous Conan illustrations by Frank Frazetta, and the influence of such viscerally violent period films as Mel Gibson’s “Apocalypto.”

“Conan” maintains a following through such ancillary properties as a Dark Horse comicbook series, a vidgame for Xbox 360 and a Funcom/Eidos multiplayer online role-playing game.

MMMGAMES is surprised to see a remake, but hopes that it reinvigorates the RPG market for Conan RPG…

Diamond Select Toys has confirmed that the Battlestar Galactica Minimates will indeed be back with a first wave of figures, which will contain updated versions of fan favorites as well as never before seen characters, available this summer exclusively at Toys ‘R’ Us stores.

Since the line debuted in 2007, more than 60 different minimate versions of the characters from the revamped BSG series have been released, though several key characters from the last seasons of the show such as the human-model Cylons and the Final Five survivors of Earth have yet to appear in minimate form, an oversight that this new series will no doubt begin to correct along with presenting new versions of popular BSG characters such as Admiral Adama, Lt. Kara “Starbuck” Thrace, and Lee “Apollo” Adama.  The first wave will include five different 2-Packs (MSRP £5) and will ship in June.  A second Toys “R” Us exclusive wave of BSG Minimates will follow.

Speaking for Diamond Select Toys, Chuck Terceira, Director of DST, noted that collectors would now be able to complete their collections, and that “working with Toys’R’Us on this project has been a dream come true for all of us.”

MMMGames finds the interesting news….

American writer David Eddings, author of The Elenian series and more than two dozen other fantasy and adventure novels, has died at his home in Carson City, Nev.

Mr Eddings died Tuesday of natural causes, according to a statement from his family.

His last book was The Younger Gods, published in 2006, part of The Dreamers series that tells of a war between the gods of Dhrall and a creature known as the Vlagh, which has the power to direct the evolution of the creatures it uses to do its bidding.

The earlier books in series, including The Elder Gods and The Treasured One, were written with his wife Leigh, who died in 2007.

Eddings’s first fantasy series, written in the 1980s, were The Belgariad and The Mallorean featuring the adventures of the warrior-prophet Garion, beginning with his boyhood.

His popular Elenian series — The Diamond Throne, The Ruby Knight and The Sapphire Rose — chronicled the exploits of knight Sparhawk and his attempts to save Queen Ehlana, who had been poisoned.

Mr Eddings was born July 7, 1931, in Spokane, Wash., and studied at Reed College and the University of Washington. His West Coast upbringing is reflected in the ever-present rain in his novels.

He was drafted into the U.S. army in 1961 and after his service became a college lecturer.

However, he worked in a grocery store as he wrote his first published novel High Hunt, the story of four young men hunting deer.

Known for his doorstop-sized tomes, Mr Eddings habitually worked in the early morning.

“I get up at an unholy hour in the morning, [and] my work day is completed by the time the sun rises,” he said. “I have a slightly bad back, which has made an enormous contribution to American literature.”

After struggling as a writer of adventure novels, he re-read Lord of the Rings, and it inspired him to move into the fantasy genre.

“I’m never going to be in danger of getting the Nobel Prize for literature,” Mr Eddings said of his work. “I’m a storyteller, not a prophet. I’m just interested in a good story.”

The company will be now based out of Rebellion Group offices in Swindon, UK and their support will allow Cubicle 7 to focus on a major licensed mainstream release later this year as well as a busy monthly release schedule.

“This is a great move for the company and one that will certainly benefit the fans of our games. It allows us the time and resources to fully support our existing lines as well as giving us the backing to bring new ideas – and licenses – to the marketplace.” said Angus Abranson of Cubicle 7. “It places us firmly were we wanted to be in several years time, right now,” added Dominic.

Jason Kingsley felt Cubicle 7 was a great addition to the Rebellion Group’s circle of creative companies. “We have been aware of Cubicle 7’s ambitions and enthusiasms for some time and approached them with a view to combining resources to make a good thing great. Rebellion is very excited to be welcoming C7 into its family. Wonderful things await!”
