Since someone (MC23?) mentioned wondering what WizKids other game was gonna
be...

This looks kinda like Pokemon meets, umm, one of the myriad of "Monster in
my Closet" type toys and stuff that's been around for ages, as a clix
game. Kinda neat, but not up my alley.

That's game 2 of 4 (1 being Crimson Skies, and 3 being Shadowrun). 4

Wizkids said in an interview about not getting such licensed
materials. I doubt we'll see that.

>Unless they're cointing IndyClix as a seperate game

That's just another expansion for Heroclix basically (Marvel, DC,
and Indy all use the same rules clix system and values). There was a
mention of possibly something Anime where Wizkids said it would have to
be one license. Dragonball Z ain't it from what I've heard against my
hopes.

True, but tehy tend to count them as seperate games, despite the ability
for them to be played together (They were smarter than the company that did
Overpower at least. The games were compatible, but they used different
card backs so you cound't mix em)

I Wizkids was smart they would be working with Lucas for the rights to do a
Star Wars Clicky game. That would jet Wizkids to overcome WOTC as the
biggest game company. Just think of the fan base that game would have.

Lucas owns shares in Hasbro (who owns WotC) to my understanding.
That's why Decipher couldn't renew their CCG contract and WotC got it
easy. If it's not from Hasbro I really wouldn't expect it.

That would explain why WizKids hasn't done this already. Makes sense now.
