Gunwitch Promotional Miniature Giveaway at GenCon and Dragon*Con

We announced today that we're giving away 100 promotional miniatures at GenCon Indy 2003 and 100 at Dragon*Con 2003 in Atlanta. The miniature, sculpted by Will Hannah, depicts the Gunwitch, a character from Dan Brereton's critically-acclaimed monster-noir comic book series The Nocturnals, which Green Ronin will bring to gaming tables this fall with the Mutants & Masterminds sourcebook Nocturnals: A Midnight Companion.

Modern GM Screen Art Preview

We've updated the Modern GM Screen catalog page with the traditional front cover image and close-up of the same. But being a GM screen, this puppy features four panels of sweet art by James Ryman. We just had to show it all to you, so if you can handle some ninjas, a pimp, a couple tanks, and a whole lot more cool modern action, then this Flash Preview is for you!
