Yottaquest is 5 years old!!!

Wow! It is hard to

believe that five years have

gone by. Thank you. Yotta-

changed my life and my family.

In celebration of our 5 year anniversary two great

events are planned. The first is Thursday, June 11, 2009. This

tion, Dogs in the Vineyard, Gaterunner, All Flesh Must Be

Eaten, D&D 4th Edition, Twilight 2013, One World By Night

LARP, 4th Edition D&D Naval Combat System, and more. If

you have a game you want to run or want to try out a new

game, this is the time to do it. Advance sign up is recom-

Upper Deck Entertainment has revealed details about its World of Warcraft

TCG boosters-only release, Fields of Honor, which is due out on June 30th. The booster-set expansion includes a new Honor theme, Honor-based

locations, the first appearance of Death Knight

weapons and armor in a booster release, plus 3 exciting new Loot cards, which will make WoW

online characters stand out in any crowd, and the introduction of “Warsong Gulch” Rules.

The three Loot cards are Path of Cenarius, the

Ogre Pinata and El Pollo Grande (a giant Magic Rooster?).

Fields of Honor also introduces an alternate rules

set, the “Warsong Gulch” rules, which will be included on some UDE Points cards, and which

will allow players to use their WoW TCG cards in

a whole new way.

Wizards of the Coast will launch Planechase, a

new multiplayer casual game format for Magic: The Gathering, on September 4th. Four Plane-

chase Game Packs will be released on that

date: Elemental Thunder, Metallic Dreams, Strike Force, and Zombie Empire.

Each Planechase Game Pack will include ten

plane cards, a new card type that allows two or more players to battle each other across a

variety of diverse worlds; a ready-to-play

60-card deck, a six-sided planar die and a

Planechase strategy insert with multiplayer

rules. The ten oversized plane cards, with

all new art depicting some of the more exotic realms in the Magic multiverse,

make up a planar deck.

IT’S IN THE CARDS

COLLECTABLE CARD GAMING

Green Ronin’s Dragon

Age RPG, based on the

Dragon Age: Origins

video game from Bio-

Ware, will hit stores in

September.

Described as a return to fantasy role-playing’s “dark and

gritty roots,” the Dragon Age RPG has been in development

for about a year and will feature three classes – rogue, mage,

and warrior – and a level system, matching the video game’s

character development options. Skill resolution uses three six

-sided dice and a modifier based on the character’s ability,

and a spell-point system replaces the Vancian magic of the

video game.

The first release of the Dragon Age RPG will be a boxed set

that contains two rulebooks (a Player’s Guide and GM’s

Guide), a poster map of Ferelden, and three six-sided dice.

The base set covers character development from levels one to

five, with later sets expanding character development in

bunches of five levels (6-10, 11-15, and 16-20).

Matthew M. Fay

I am Matthew M. Fay the

owner of Yottaquest. I am also known

as Matt Sr., Mr. Yott, Dad, and The

Owner. With this being our five year

anniversary, I thought I would share a

little about me. My family is from a

long line of Cincinnatians, so this is

home. I never thought I would be a

game store owner, it just sort of hap-

pened. It started when I got laid off

from a good job at Cincinnati Incorpo-

rated in Harrison, Ohio. I was an elec-

trician in the laser assembly depart-

ment. This was my first time being laid

off in my life. To be honest I enjoyed it

at first. About six months into my

“temporary “ layoff 9/11 happened. The

job market went from bad to terrible. I

went from a $25/hour job to working as

a short order cook at Bob Evans. I up-

graded months later to Comp USA as a

computer repair technician. Somewhere

along the way I got the idea I wanted to

run my own company. I left Comp USA

and started Yottaquest, a home based

business that specialized in Computer

repair and sold D&D stuff on the side to

my friends. Becoming fascinated with

the gaming industry, I decided to stop

the computer repair and focus all my

attention on selling games. After look-

ing around at many sites, I eventually

settled on our present location. It

needed a lot of work, and after a couple

of months we were ready to open the

doors. I took the paper off the windows

and shouted, “Okay world, we are

here!” Well, I might have well been a

Who in Whoville. We had one sale that

day, and I realized I had no idea how to

run a business. I had to learn

fast! Well, time has gone by and I walk

in my store everyday and am amazed

that we have come so far. My kids,

family, and many friends have all helped

tremendously over the years. If you

asked me, “If you had to do it all over

again would you?” the answer would be

a resounding “YES!” Thank you all for

a wonderful five years.

After scoring a success with their family card game, Infer-

nal Contraptions, Privateer Press is following up

with Scrappers, a family board game designed for 2-4

players ages 9 and up that will be released worldwide in

September of 2009.

In Scrappers it’s frenzy on the factory floor as players

take on the role of goblin mechanics as they race around a

factory trying to pull parts off a constantly moving con-

veyor belt in order to complete their contraptions.

Fantasy Flight Games will release a

board game based on Games Work-

shop’s Warhammer Fantasy universe

this fall. Warhammer: Chaos in the Old

World has been designed by Eric M.

Lang, who designed the Call of Cthulhu

and A Game of Thrones card games.

The game will feature a tie-in to the Warhammer Online: Age of Reckon-

ing MMO in the form of two cards in the first print run only. The Signet of

the Cursed Company allows its owner to become a skeletal warrior in the

MMO. The Call to War will teleport the player to his capital city.

Fantasy Flight Games has announced the upcoming release of Middle-earth

Quest, a new deluxe board game set in the universe of The Lord of the

Rings. The game is the fifth title based on the Lord of the Rings to be pub-

lished by Fantasy Flight, and the first since 2004’s War of the Ring.

The game takes place in the intervening years between Bilbo’s Farewell

Party and Frodo’s departure from the Shire. One player assumes the role of

the Dark Lord Sauron himself and tries to hamper

the other players while advancing his own agenda

to seize control of Middle-earth. The other players

(up to three) take on the roles of new heroes, cre-

ated specifically for the game, who interact with

and learn from established characters from The

Lord of the Rings, like Gandalf, Aragorn, and

Boromir. The hero players work together to defend

the lands of Middle-earth and prepare for Sauron’s

assault, while the Sauron player has three different

paths to victory: conquest, corruption, or the dis-

covery of the One Ring.
