Re: [BNW] More Big Secrets and some possitive comments

I read that when I was still at GenCon and thought it sounded cool, and i guess
I just forgot about it until you posted it. I know next year Origins they are
planning on releasing a source book which allows you to play in a W.W.II setting
fighting Nazis, and such.

Also I noticed this on page 141: Pinnacle sells a line of lead-free pewter metal
miniatures. These represent a number of different kinds of characters from Brave
New World, and they're perfect for breaking out whenever a fight starts.
It sounds like it is talking about actual minis for Brave New World! so whats
the scoop are there minis that were supposed to be out for Gencon, or are there
minis on the way? Must have Brave New World minis, must have all Pinnacle stuff.

I got 12 books at GenCon and all but 1(Feng Shui) was from Pinnacle :)
