  • SILVER AGE SENTINELS (D20)

    Talking Up Our Products With the weekly influx of new roleplaying titles, it’s almost impossible to keep track of every product in every RPG line in the adventure games industry. To help you organize our titles and to aid customers in finding information about their favorite products, we’ve designed a set of point-of-purchase dividers. These hard-plastic cards are much like the category dividers often used in music stores, but they’re specially designed as a marketing tool for hobby stores. Each card features the name of one of our RPG lines printed prominently at the top, and goes on to give basic information on the mechanics and setting of the game, special features that distinguish it from other RPGs, and the most popular and useful supplements available. The dividers promote the sale of backlist items as well as new products, since they help customers identify the titles they need most and remind buyers to keep them in stock. Our dividers can be placed in many ways. These are just a few of the ideas we’ve come up with: •A divider can be placed inside the front cover or behind the newest release in a line if the book is displayed full-face on a tilted backboard or book prop. Since the cards 1 are 11 /2 inches tall, the line’s title will be visible within or in back of the book. When a customer picks the RPG up to page through it, the informational text is uncovered. The card also works as a restocking reminder when the book sells.

A: If you head over to www.heavymetalpro.com and purchase the HeavyMetal Plus program, not only do you get a program that allows you to generate and print ‘Mech/vehicle/ProtoMechs and infantry record sheets, but it includes all record sheets FASA and FanPro ever published. Q: Are there plans for support to the less known games of BattleTech like BattleForce 2 ? A: I do plan on providing support for such systems as BF2. For example, to one degree or another, there will be BF2 information in the FedCom Civil War sourcebook. As to the extent of that support, we'll simply have to wait and see the fans response to the support that is provided. Q: When Record Sheets: 3067 is released, will it include new styles for the WarShip and DropShip record sheets? The record sheets that came with BattleSpace 2 and TR: 3057 were very nice, in terms of armor arrangement; I really liked the rows of 10. A: First, just to clarify, BattleTech Record Sheets: 3067 will only include BattleTech units; i.e. no aerospace units will be included in that record sheet book. Instead, AeroTech 2: Record Sheets will include ALL aerospace record sheets: conventional fighters, aerospace fighters, small craft, DropShips, WarShips and Space Stations.
