JoyRide Entertainment has announced that Jason Winter will serve as Community Coordinator for the Full Metal Alchemist Trading Card Game, which launches in August. Winter, who was until recently the Associate Editor of the popular TCG magazine Scrye, will maintain the forums on the FMA TCG Website, and serve as JoyRide's main contact point for fans and volunteers and as the liaison between fans and JoyRide's design team.
Based on the most popular anime and manga property in some time (see 'Full Metal Alchemist Still on Top'), the Full Metal Alchemist TCG will debut in August with a 250-card Premier Edition base set packaged in 50-card starter decks and 11-card booster packs. The Premier Edition includes a parallel foil set and a subset of chase cards printed on clear plastic.
