Yeah... that can be awesome, like with the recently released Fallout board game.
Personally, I've been waiting for a whole lot of stuff that just isn't coming. Shadowrun: Sprawl Gangers for example. It seems that it's more expensive these days to make board games than computer games. Ah well.
In case it counts, FunCom has recently announced a game based on the P&P I've been playing, i.e. Mutant: Year Zero. And it's supposed to land this year too.
By the way, deciphering Fairfox' posts is like a discussion board game, so what's with the boo-hoo? :)
