Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG
3D Bonds Beyond Time Movie Pack

10 years after we first saw Yugi and his friends take on the forces of evil on the Yu-Gi-Oh! TV series, a new 3D feature film is arriving in North America. Paradox, a sinister time-travelling Duelist, is tearing through history, stealing the most powerful monsters of all time. Only the combined might of history’s greatest Duelists can stop him. Now Yusei must travel back in time to team up with Jaden and Yugi – to put history back on track!

Monsters stolen by Paradox are changed into evil “Malefic” forms. These new monsters can be Special Summoned by removing the original versions from your Deck or Extra Deck. The Yu-Gi-Oh! 3D Bonds Beyond Time Movie Pack gives you the chance to add 6 “Malefic” monsters to your collection, plus a few more surprises! There are nine total cards in the set.

Each pack contains 5 Secret Rare cards from the movie. Collect them all before time runs out!

Give Me the Brain
Steve Jackson Games
Game Design by James Ernest
Art by Brian Snōddy

You think working in a fast-food restaurant is hell? This place is worse. All the employees are zombies (that includes you). The jobs are repetitive and gross. The customers ask stupid questions. And all the zombies have to share a single brain . . . and they keep dropping it on the floor.

In Give Me The Brain by James Ernest (Lord of the Fries), all the players are zombies, shuffling and moaning through their horrible jobs. Whoever gets rid of all his jobs first will win. Every turn, you can do a couple of things . . . and, if you're sneaky, you can also push a job or two onto the other players.

The catch? Some jobs actually require a brain . . . and there's only one in the whole restaurant . . . and the zombies keep dropping it.

112 cards, die, and rulesheet in a 6" × 9" box.
MSRP $19.99

Munchkin
Munchkinomicon
Steve Jackson Games
Game Design by Steve Jackson
Illustrated by John Kovalic

It's the ultimate book of spells . . . the Munchkinomicon. But beware! If you aren't munchkinly enough, the Munchkinomicon will slip away and find a more suitable host. This set includes the Munchkinomicon and 14 of its deviously cheesy spells, like United I Stand, Eldritch Cleaver, and Unnatural Compulsion.

This is an expansion for ANY Munchkin game. It is not a stand-alone game. This is NOT a collectible or randomized set. Every Munchkinomicon pack is the same as every other.

15 cards. MSRP $4.99

Pathfinder Adventure Path #42
Sanctum of the Serpent God
Serpent's Skull 6 of 6
Paizo Publishing
By Neil Spicer

In their lightless sanctuary, an army of serpentfolk gathers to bring the world above to its knees. The skull of the dead god Ydersius has fallen into the hands of his worshipers once more, and fanged fanatics now commence the rites to resurrect their slain deity. Only the heroes stand between the serpentfolk and their insane plot to unleash one of existence’s foulest tyrants once more upon the world. Can the PCs gather the weapons and allies they need to strike back against the snakes and slay their decapitated god once and for all, or will their failure to do so usher in the Age of the Serpent? Decide the fate of an entire world in this, the climax of the Serpent’s Skull Adventure Path!

This volume of Pathfinder Adventure Path includes:

• “Sanctum of the Serpent God,” a Pathfinder RPG adventure for 15th-level characters, by Neil Spicer
• Aids and advice to continue your war against the serpentfolk even after the climax of the Serpent’s Skull Adventure Path, by James Jacobs
• Secrets of the sinister snake cult of Ydersius, beheaded god of the serpentfolk, by Rob McCreary
• The triumphant conclusion of the Pathfinder’s Journal, by Robin D. Laws
• Five new monsters, by Jesse Benner, Rob McCreary, and Neil Spicer

It contains an in-depth Adventure Path scenario, stats for about a half-dozen new monsters, and several support articles meant to give Game Masters additional material to expand their campaign. Pathfinder Adventure Path volumes use the Open Game License and work with both the Pathfinder RPG and the standard 3.5 fantasy RPG rules set.

Pathfinder Module
Cult of the Ebon Destroyers
Paizo Publishing
By Matthew Goodall

An urban, wilderness, and dungeon adventure for 8th-level characters

A malignant cult has taken root in the mystical and magical realm of Jalmeray. Known and feared throughout distant Vudra, the cult of Dhalavei has expertly destroyed organizations and societies from within for millennia. Now a new sect of the sinister Cult of the Ebon Destroyers has its sights set on Thakur Kharswan of Jalmeray, and the magistrates and bureaucrats behind the throne must hunt down and eliminate the cult before the unthinkable happens. If only there were someone they could trust to behead Dhalavei's cult before the assassins do the same to their beloved ruler…

Cult of the Ebon Destroyers is an adventure for 8th-level characters, written for the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game and compatible with the 3.5 edition of the world’s oldest RPG. In addition to the adventure, this volume also features a brand-new monster and a gazetteer of the city of Niswan, capital of the Isle of Jalmeray.

Written by Matthew Goodall, the winner of Paizo Publishing's RPG Superstar contest, which allows unpublished authors to compete before a panel of celebrity game designers and legions of their peers for the chance to write a Pathfinder Module.

Pathfinder Modules are 32-page, high-quality, full-color, adventures using the Open Game License to work with both the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game and the standard 3.5 fantasy RPG rules set. This Pathfinder Module includes new monsters, treasure, and a fully detailed bonus location that can be used as part of the adventure or in any other game!
