Man, so much great stuff going on this week!
The first Data Pack for Netrunner, What Lies Ahead was released (spoilers on this site). In addition, another one was announced!
With releases, the next Warhammer: Invasion Battle Pack was released as well (also spoiled here).
And as for news- the next Deluxe Expansion for Call of Cthulhu, another Force Pack for Star Wars, and the reprint (FINALLY) of the Clash of Arms cycle for Game of Thrones??
Not only is this year ending with a bang (ie, Star Wars is being released soon), but man, next year is going to start off incredibly!

Gaming on 12/05/12
This won't be terribly exciting, but I did manage to teach a friend at work how to play Android: Netrunner, yesterday Two quick games, with him using my Shaper deck, and with me using my Haas-Bioroid deck. He ended up winning both games (the first game 7-0), but that's partially because I played intentionally sloppy a little to let him see the mechanics.
The game itself doesn't matter- the important thing is that I'm expanding the game, ever so slightly, by teaching it to new people. In the last six months, I've managed to get a new Game of Thrones player, and new Lord of the Rings player, and with luck, a new Netrunner player. Maybe I'll make that a goal for 2013. Increase the LCG total player base by ten people, or something. Might be a fun challenge.
