UXM Rolling Release?
A friend in the industry told us that UXM is going to have a rolling release schedule and that as far as he knows, it starts with the set-up boxes, which he'll be getting in to his store this week.
This is the same fellow who helped us with those spoiler pics from the Alliance dealer demos, so it's fair to say that he's credible.
Apparently, something new will be coming each week all the way up until the wide release, so start checking with your FLGS. UXM Dice Masters items may begin flowing soon! Your mileage may vary depending on what your store has ordered.

Mistakes... And Learning From Them
I know a lot you come to The Reserve Pool to read up on news about upcoming sets, card reveals, and podcasts. You won't get any of that from me. Today, you get to read about my mistakes in Dice Masters strategy, and how I'm

Within days of purchasing my starter set, I was buying up booster packs at my local comic shop. I was asking around to different shops in the area if anyone planned on having any tournaments. I would get on the Wizkids Event System website, and search for events within 100 miles of me. Finally, I found one. Unfortunately it was about 80 miles away. Now, don’t get me wrong, I enjoy Dice Masters, but I wasn’t going to drive 80 miles to play in a tournament. I wasn’t THAT obsessed with this game.
Enter: my 13 year old brother. We are 14 years apart, but we still try to hang out and stay interested in the same things. We will play video games, go to a movie, watch wrestling, and now we also play Dice Masters. The more I thought about driving 80 miles as bonding with my brother, and less about how obsessed of a gamer it would make me, I warmed up to it.

Randy's Introduction
Hey, thanks for the warm welcome. “Obsessed” might be a little strong, but this game does have me hooked like nothing I’ve played before. I was in to both Magic and Heroclix when I was younger, but never played them competitively. I mean, I made my own custom playmat…
…but not obsessed.

Welcome, Randy!
We're pleased to welcome Randy to our crew here at TRP. Randy comes in having done comic-related reviews in the past and, to hear him tell it, is "obsessed" with this game.
Randy has been an entrant in both of our contests so far - in fact, he was the one who submitted the King James card in the most recent one. This implies some ties to Cleveland on his part, but don't worry - we're cool. Welcome aboard!

News: Today and other days
Some new spoilers have come out today.
You may have seen some of them on Facebook, but that's not what I'm talking about. That's newsworthy, but this is about the future! No, I'm talking about a friend of the blog who asked to be credited as Superdan567 about MANY upcoming cards and sets. Some of it involves things that we knew were coming, but now we have more concrete information about it.
Here we go.

Podcast coming Thursday AM/Midday
Usually I drop it around midnight, but due to some technical issues as well as some health issues, I'll be delaying it until sometime around tomorrow AM/Midday. Sorry, folks! Just haven't had the chance to put the time into it that is needed, and feeling ill doesn't help.
