N.B: the main "interesting games" wholesaler has warned that, with the fall of the ukL from us$2 to ~us$1.50, the cost prices and therefore the ukL rrps of games imported from merkia are going to be rising by ~30% above their pre-November 2008 prices; this is unavoidable.
many of the new, higher ukL prices have already begun to feed through, so if there are games, sourcebooks, expansions and adventures already in stock (or available) that you know you want, please don't leave buying them too long, or the prices could easily be (roughly) one third higher than they are now...

including new classes, races, magic items & encounters - and a whole new city to explore
- Geist: the Sin-Eaters - NEW World of Darkness/Storyteller RPG in 19th August 2009 hardcover ukL 26.99
"Geist" uses the World of Darkness RPG system as the core of the system, but stories (adventures, campaigns) need not be set in the World of Darkness, nor in conjunction with character types from any or all of the associated games
in it players each run two characters, more or less; the first, someone who has very narrowly survived a perilously near-death experience, during which they became indissolubly bound to a spirit in some way "nearby", of someone who has died with an overpowering urge to remain in the world of the living until they've one way or another managed to see some burning need fulfilled; some similarity in personalities or shared driving urges has drawn them together, and these psychic twins now share their mortal partners' conscious thoughts...
- the second, ghost character played in these pairings is not necessarily completely sympathetic to, or even particularly in harmony with them.
[but i'd advise storytellers/gms to arrange for players of any given human character to not play their own "spirit partner", but rather that of another player's living character in the set-up, else players'll be likely to favour the aims and ambitions of one above the other's interests, no matter how carefully they try to avoid this - yr. hmbl. srppnt.]
- Traveller: Judge Dredd: Bad Moon Rising - NEW ADVENTURE available 16th September 2009 ukL 15.00

the first-adventure for the new version of the Dredd-fully violent, ad-hoc "justice"-dealing comic crew translated to rpg, but n.b. this one requires the main rulebook from the current
Traveller RPG (also listing of its and other editions' sourcebooks, adventures, etc);
- the previous Judge Dredd RPG includes its system in the rpg book, and has a lot of good source material and adventures) available now...
- Legend of the 5 Rings: The Vacant Throne - NEW SOURCEBOOK available 2nd, in 16th September 2009 hardcover ukL 24.99
details the events and individuals of the Empire-shaking Lotus & Samurai eras, during which Torturi III's quest for enlightenment led to his death in the Battle of the Tomb of the Seven Thunders, leaving no recognised - or unchallenged - heir; the result is manoeuvering, politicking, alliances, betrayals and, eventually, civil war
a war in which Moto Chagatai leads the forces of his Unicorn Clan to the brink of victory in the Imperial City, and himself to the Celestial Throne.
introduces new game mechanics, and supplies npc blocks for personalities and powers major and minor that are of significance in these turbulent years, plus adventure hooks etc. for adventures set in the Lotus & Samurai Eras
