Wizards of the Coast will reprint limited premium versions of the original Advanced Dungeons & Dragons rulebooks by Gary Gygax to help support the Gygax Memorial Fund. The new editions will be released in limited quantities exclusively for the hobby channel on April 17, 2012. They’ll include the original art and content with new cover designs commemorating the re-release.

The three core books being released are:

• 1st Edition Premium Dungeon Master’s Guide (240p HC $44.95)
• 1st Edition Premium Player’s Handbook (112p HC $34.95)
• 1st Edition Premium Monster Manual (128p HC $34.95)

Dragon’s Lair Comics & Fantasy® Austin will be getting a limited number of these books and are currently taking pre-orders!

DC Entertainment has revealed a new logo that will find its way on to the books published by the company’s major brands, DC Comics, Vertigo, and Mad. The new design, which was created by Landor Associates, uses “a peel effect” with the “D” placed over the “C” with the upper right hand portion of the “D” peeled away to reveal the “C” underneath, a visual “reveal” that the company’s press release, with a touch of hyperbole, described as “symbolizing the duality of the iconic characters that are present within DC Entertainment’s portfolio.”

The HeroClix Supremacy League is a casual play format for stores that exists outside of standard Organized Play. Armed with a leaderboard displayed in their Venues, players compete with each other for the center “Top Spot” of the board as they challenge each other for the chance to advance from one ring to the next, making their way from the outside of the board to the inside.

The HeroClix Supremacy League is intended to be a fun format where players can engage in a more casual play style, and is not tied to any specific Organized Play program.
