First, there's BATTLES OF WESTEROS, a brand new -- well, I don't know, would you call it a board game, a miniatures game, a war game? -- whatever it is, it looks great. Based on the BattleLore system that FFG acquired. Fight your own Stark/ Lannister wars.
I've just received my own copies of this one. FFG has done a bang-up job, as always. The games should be in your favorite neighborhood game shop now. If not, hey, find a new favorite neighborhood game shop.

Meanwhile, on other fronts, Fantasy Flight is also preparing to release a second edition of their art book, THE ART OF GEORGE R.R. MARTIN'S A SONG OF ICE AND FIRE (whew). The first edition was a big hit a few years back, but has been out of print and unavailble for some time. We've added some new art, replaced some old art (but kept most of the great stuff from the first edition, natch) freshened up the design, and FFG will soon be re-releasing the book for all those of you who missed the first one.
The art book should be available this summer from FFG, Amazon, or your local bookstore.

And... even better... FFG is now putting together a SECOND art book, with all new Ice & Fire artwork from their stable of kickass illustrators. More on that later.

ahhhh man we're gonna wait forever.... 8)
After seeing the painting of Maester Luwin, I've had this mental image of Patrick Bauchau as the actor portraying him (it's almost as if the artist used him as a model). I see that Donald Sumpter has been cast so the point is moot, I just wanted to post it. :)
I've heard nothing but good things about that BattleLore game, I might have to actually put up and buy it now.
Poor pocketbook. I hardly knew thee.
It's great to see the franchise is doing so well, here is to even more and better things to come, ser (with the TV series in the making I've no doubt about it).
From company info looks to be an improvement on Richard Borg's old Battle Lore system. Have managed to get copy of rules already.
Hope to find some opponents at upcoming Historicon which will also see my Night Watch Army take on all comers in the Hordes of the Things tournament. (Unless I finish the Lannisters first).

Is the new art book along the same lines as the limited edition artbooks that were for sale a couple years ago? I really enjoyed that art book and would like to purchase a limited edition one of the new ones if such a product is available.
Thanks for the great work,
Anthony
I'd say my only criticism of their production of the game is that their version of The Mountain doesn't ride...
