Green Ronin Retailer Support

Distributor List Updated

Wed, 01 Jul 2009 20:45:09 -0800

The list of Green Ronin Distributors - complete with contact information - has finally been updated. The list is not complete; we still need some information from a few distributors -- mostly on the International side of things, but this list will be updated as soon as we have more information to offer. It may prove valuable to have more than one distributor with whom your store regularly does business; product shortages do occur in the industry as a whole, and sometimes one has product when another does not. Also, some may have better pricing on some products, or have good sales that can stretch a store's inventory dollar. It's kind of a "don't put all your eggs in one basket" idea. Those of you looking for distributors who carry Green Ronin's products should start there. Give them a call or send them an email - they'll be happy to take care of your needs.

Warriors & Warlocks on its way!

Wed, 10 Jun 2009 10:51:42 -0800

Warriors and Warlocks, the newest supplement for the Mutants and Masterminds RPG, is even now winging its way to distributors. It will be available for ordering beginning Monday June 15. Not all comic books are about costumed heroes fighting crime; many classic comics have featured the fantastical adventures of sword-wielding and spell-casting heroes. Now Warriors & Warlocks takes the Mutants & Masterminds RPG to the realm of fantasy. This beautifully illustrated sourcebook includes information on character design, magic, equipment, villains, monsters, and more. It also includes a Mutants & Masterminds rules companion to Green Ronin's popular Pirate's Guide to Freeport, along with an introduction and overview of Freeport as a setting for fantasy adventures. Warriors & Warlocks is your go-to guide for comic book sword & sorcery action. Written by Dale Donovan, Matthew E. Kaiser, Steve Kenson, and Aaron Sullivan, Warriors & Warlocks is a 160-page, full-color softcover book, and retails for $29.95.

Green Ronin Announces Spring/Summer Release Schedule

Tue, 14 Apr 2009 07:43:45 -0800

Green Ronin keeps a busy schedule every year, but spring and summer really seem to pack in the action! This year's release schedule is chocked full of goodness, including releases for True 20/Freeport, Song of Ice and Fire, Mutants & Masterminds (of course!) and the next installment of the Games 100 series! In April, we start out with All-In, a 96-page adventure pack for the Wild Cards setting of Mutants and Masterminds. Look for distributors to have this book available starting April 20. Later in April will come the first supplemental tool for the Song of Ice and Fire RPG, the Narrator's Kit. Featuring our signature hardback-style, three-panel GM screen, this pack includes a 16-page introductory adventure written by Steve Kenson. May is no less exciting, with the long-awaited Warriors & Warlocks sourcebook for Mutants & Masterminds. At 144 pages, this book is a heaping helping of sword and sorcery for your M&M campaign, and includes everything you need to include Green Ronin's award-winning Freeport city as a setting for your fantasy-themed M&M campaign. Also in May will be the first full-length adventure set in the world of George R. R. Martin's Westeros, Peril at King's Landing for the Song of Ice and Fire role-playing. June has the Mecha and Manga sourcebook for Mutants & Masterminds, plus new product support for our True 20 and Freeport lines in the form of the True 20 Freeport: Lost Island. If your customers are fans of manga, or just curious what it's all about, Mecha and Manga is the Mutants & Masterminds sourcebook to sell them! Mecha and Manga incorporates new character archetypes, rules for mecha design and creation, and much more! True 20 Freeport: Lost Island is an adventure for characters of levels 3-5, and takes them from Freeport across the seas in a peril-filled voyage to find out what's on this mysterious island, why it's important and who wants it. July builds on the exciting framework of the previous months with the release of A Song of Ice and Fire Campaign Guide, to provide greater detail on the people, places and things important to your customer's campaigns. This 256-page, full-color hard cover is sure to be a solid seller. A new addition to the schedule is the pocket edition of Ultimate Power. Out of print for nearly a year, we're finally bringing this popular book back into print in a convenient, pocket-sized version. Despite it's smaller size, this is still a hefty, 256-page sourcebook, and with the original having been out of print for so long, we expect significant pent-up demand for this title. August is the lynchpin of the gamer's summer, and we wrap up our summer slate with two big releases: the Supervillains handbook and Family Games: the 100 Best. Supervillains: Need we say more? Those dastardly characters everyone loves to hate get their own, loving treatment in this full-color, 224-page hard cover book. Family Games follows up where Hobby Games: the 100 Best left off, with 100 game designers, authors and game-industry big-shots writing short essays about their favorite games and what makes those games great. Like Hobby Games, Family Games will be another great sales tool that no games store should be without. Also like Hobby Games, you may find your customers want their own copies!

Using Hobby Games: The 100 Best to Sell Games

Sun, 11 Nov 2007 21:52:08 -0800

Green Ronin recently released Hobby Games: The 100 Best, a collection of essays about the great games of the last 50 years by a veritable who's who of game designers and industry notables. It's a great piece of industry history but more than that it's a great sales tool for retailers. Here are some ideas on how you can use Hobby Games: The 100 Best to sell more games in your store. Counter Copy This is a handy book to keep on your front counter. Let customers flip through it as they are making purchases. Use it to help people find gifts for friends and family. Show them what a famous game designer had to say about the game they are purchasing. Your staff (and particularly new hires) can also benefit from the book, as it's an easy way to help them understand your stock. Special Display You can draw attention to both the book and the covered games by setting up a special display. This will get your customers talking. Find out how many games on the list they already own and sell them the ones they don't have. Alpha Gamers Every store has its alpha gamers and aspiring designers. They need this book. Some of the best minds in the industry give great advice and analysis of what makes games great. If you can get the alpha gamers to buy in, others will follow. Anyone that reads the book will be back to buy some of the featured games. Special Events The book provides a great theme for a game day or weekend. Showcase nothing but games covered in the book. Let people try games that made the list and find out why they did. And of course be ready to sell them the games they played during the event. Used Games If you carry used games, the book is a handy way to draw attention to older classics. Some of the covered games are long out of print, but can frequently be found in the second hand market. Get the most out of vintage games by promoting their inclusion in Hobby Games: The 100 Best.

Green Ronin's August Releases

Thu, 08 Mar 2007 20:08:57 -0800

August is a busy month for Green Ronin Publishing. Green Ronin’s legendary Freeport setting gets a major updating with the Pirate’s Guide to Freeport, and there will be immedidiate support in the form of the True 20 Freeport Companion and the Dark Wings Over Freeport adventure. Fans of the Mutants and Masterminds RPG will have a new setting sourcebook on which to hang their adventures and True20 game masters will rejoice at the True20 Narrator's Kit.

Freeport is Green Ronin's signature city setting and has been home to thousands of RPG campaigns since its launch in 2000. Classic fantasy elements, cruel-hearted pirates, and Lovecraftian horror come together in the rum-fueled metropolis known as the City of Adventure. The Pirate’s Guide to Freeport is the definitive new sourcebook for the City of Adventure, set 5 years after the events of the original Freeport Trilogy. This is a pure setting book, focusing entirely on the people, places, politics, and perils of Freeport and containing no game statistics of any kind. The Pirate’s Guide to Freeport can thus be used with any fantasy RPG and Green Ronin will be providing companion products for popular systems like True20 and d20. This massive, 256-page hardcover has a suggested retail price of $34.95.

The True20 Freeport Companion gives players and narrators everything they need to enjoy exciting campaigns in the City of Adventure with the True20 rules. The book includes new heroic paths and feats, True20 stats for all the major NPCs, and a new Freeport adventure. True 20 Freeport Companion is a 128-page softcover book with a suggested retail price of $23.95.

To make it even easier for Freeport GMs, a special Bleeding Edge adventure also debuts along with the Pirate's Guide: Dark Wings Over Freeport. This module features both d20 and True20 stats, so fans of both games can get to gaming in Freeport right way. This 36-page adventure retails for $11.95.

Game masters of True20 Adventure Roelplaying will also be delighted by the True20 Narrator's Kit. This features an incredibly sturdy three panel screen with the thickness and toughness of a hardback book. It's paired with an introductory adventure, Last Voyage of the Stellar Galleon, by Star Wars RPG author Rodney Thompson. The True20 Narrator's Kit retails for $19.95.

Being a teenager is hard enough: school, work, parents, friends, dating, and more without complicating matters by adding super-powers and a secret identity to the mix. Hero High is a genre book for the Mutants & Masterminds RPG that explores the world of teen heroes (and villains!) In it, you’ll find all you need to run a teen heroes campaign of your own, with all the trials and tribulations that entails. Hero High also includes expanded material for the Claremont Academy in the Freedom City campaign setting: visit the private school where a new generation of heroes trains. Hero High is a 128-page, softcover volume with a suggested retail of $26.95.
