[QUOTE="thirdkingdom, post: 9342642, member: 78442"] This is likely to be a somewhat short edition of the Roundup. I caught whatever current variant of the flu is making the rounds of the east coast, and it knocked me out Friday and Saturday. I'll do what I can to post some of last week's releases, however. Well, I lied. There's a fair amount of stuff I was able to add. Oh! Also, Sabre Games will be holding a mini-convention July 4th-7th at the store in downtown Charlottesville to celebrate our one year anniversary. We're still working on a schedule, but if you're in the area and think you might be interested in running a game hit me up and we'll try and make it happen.
