So if you're a fan of Pirates or Rocket men you've got a RPG to go with them now, a cool idea would be to find a way to allow the minis to be used in the RPG.

You're also going to be seeing some Mechwarrior stuff from Pinnacle now to:

The deal also allows GWG to support such genre-defining products as Pirates of the Spanish Main and MechWarrior with a series of scenario books, including new rules, games pieces, and fiction, bringing an additional level of fun and a new twist to some of WizKids’ best-loved properties.

I don't know if I'm all that keen on this.  GWG have a ton of settings on their plate that they've been very slow to get out.  I'd like to see Deadlands, Blood Moon, Slipstream, and the like before they have to start devoting time to WK properties.

Well Dr.P, Deadlands is done, and waiting on printing,... the others are all products being developed out of house by indepentants, so I for one dont hate the Idea. Rocket Men would be a fun RPG for instance.
