Q: I purchased a copy of Nuisances the other day and found it to be an excellent, entertaining, read. That said, after reading a review of the product elsewhere, I realized that it was supposed to include a CD, an item that some local hooligan at the FLGS apparently rtemoved from the book prior to my purchasing it. Out of curiosity, is the material on the missing CD available for download anywhere?

A: We included a CD of bonus material with each copy of Nuisances that we sold at Gen Con 2005, but that was a special promotion that did not carry over to retail sales or anywhere else. One of the main documents from that disk, however, is available for free from the Downloads section of our Website (www.skirmisher.com). We also frequently add new Nuisances material to that section and to our "What's New" blog (several items reside there now, as a matter of fact).

Also, the bonus CD will be included in its entirety with our new line of "Monster Porn" DVD cases, which we will be making available though our online store within the next week or so (http://stores.ebay.com/Skirmishers-Game-Store).

Winter Wolves (Albareto, Italy), creators of the popular rpg/card game "Magic Stones," announced March 10 that they have released a new expansion pack for the game called "The Ice Queen."

In this expansion, your druid is summoned by the Ice Queen herself, the supreme ruler of the Frozen Lands. She wants you to retrieve a precious medallion that she lost in the recent battle against the Blood Orcs in the Wastelands. Many bandits are scavenging the area looking for valuable items, so you must be careful ...

In this last expansion, players will be able to collect two new avatars, the Golden Giant for the Life School of magic, and the Griffon for the Spirit School. They will also face new formidable opponents like ghost spiders, ravage beasts, and so on, in a new quest that will have two different endings for a better re-playability.

Numerous bug fixes and enhancement to the game itself are also present in this last update, that will be free of charge for registered users.
