An ICv2 Release.  ICv2 has announced the release of the third issue of its ICv2 Retailers Guide to Games.  Alliance Game Distributors, Diamond Comic Distributors, and Koen Book Distributors are all distributing this resource to their accounts.  The Guide is free to all retailers.  Our market overview, based on extensive interviews with distributors and retailers, gives a high-level view of the over-all market by category, then drills down into the top game properties in each (see 'Lots of Tough Choices for Game Retailers'). 

Retailer interviews this issue focus on (unpainted) miniature events, using three different strategies.  We take a look at the impact of Games Workshop's clampdown on Internet sales. 

In the RPG category, we examine Wizards of the Coast's recent changes to its d20 license. 

And we look at the top November/December releases planned for all four game categories (CCGs, miniature games, board and family games, and RPGs).
