Greetings, dear readers!

Welcome to your December issue of Game Trade Magazine!

As we embark upon this final issue of 2017, that can only mean one thing – the holidays are almost upon us! If you’re anything like the GTM Bullpen, you’ll soon be celebrating the season with those closest to you. 

For my part, I always try to bring one or two new additions to the ol’ game library for my family and friends to enjoy when I go a-travelling.  After all, one of the perks of working on the magazine is seeing all of the cool new products our contributors are bringing to the marketplace, and what better way to enjoy that benefit than with those nearest and dearest?

And speaking of new releases, we have some awesome content for you this month: be sure to check out the latest word on The Colonists from Mayfair Games, and please enjoy the exclusive scenario in this month’s gatefold!

That’s not all: Fantasy Flight Games offers a peek behind the curtain for the latest expansion to their Star Wars: Destiny line, Legacies, and we take a closer look at some of the creepy-crawlies in WizKids’ upcoming Monster Menagerie III, from their D&D Icons of the Realms miniatures line.  All this and MORE is yours to enjoy this month – we really couldn’t ask for a better December issue for you all. 

So, as 2017 comes to a close, we'd like to take the opportunity to thank ALL of our contributors.  Another one of the perks of working on Game Trade Magazine, the biggest one in fact, is definitely collaborating with so many dynamic teams and creators each and every month in the content you find in these very pages. 

And, of course, we’d like to thank all of you, our readers, for your continued support and interest.  It’s a genuine pleasure to bring you the latest and greatest in industry news, previews and reviews.  We hope you’ve enjoyed 2017, because 2018 is going to be even bigger and better!  

In parting, warmest wishes for a safe and happy holiday season to you and yours from all of us at Game Trade Magazine. 

Game on, everyone!
