Penny Arcade's Collectable Card Game 43
Klytus writes "GamingReport.com has news on Penny Arcade's new Collectable Card Game. The CCG is being produced by a division of UK based Games Workshop, Sabertooth Games, makers of the Lord of the Rings Miniatures game. From the article: 'Designed and illustrated by Penny Arcade's Gabe and Tycho, this set of cards was inspired by the hijinks of their legendary web comic. Everything from the Divx to Tycho's Really Big Word is included in this set of cards, allowing players to reenact the epic battle of Gabe and Tycho.'"

What's that you say, not a video game. Surely things of such nature died out years ago.
Honestly though it is kind of strange (in a refreshing way) to see a game article that has nothing to do with consoles, PCs, launch dates, etc. I'd like to see more aticles that focus on gaming outside the norm like this one. I read Penny Arcade fairly often, but somehow have never heard anything about this game.
Nice to see something that isn't an attack on MS/Sony, FUD about Nintendo flopping, or hype about some game months away from release.

There have been a few recent articles about pen-and-paper role-playing. Or is that inside the norm?

So if you're even remotely interested, why not give it a chance and pick up the starter kit? I don't play card games, but I play Sabertooth's Lord Of The Rings: Tradable Miniatures Game [sabertoothgames.com], and it's the best designed

The last standard for if a collectible game was worth it was that you could get a whole set (or within a card or two) from single box of booster packs. This worked back in the ERA of baseball cards (do they even make those anymore).
