Posted by Zonk on from the woohoo-they-sold-out! dept.

Klytus writes "GamingReport.com has news on Penny Arcade's new Collectable Card Game. The CCG is being produced by a division of UK based Games Workshop, Sabertooth Games, makers of the Lord of the Rings Miniatures game. From the article: 'Designed and illustrated by Penny Arcade's Gabe and Tycho, this set of cards was inspired by the hijinks of their legendary web comic. Everything from the Divx to Tycho's Really Big Word is included in this set of cards, allowing players to reenact the epic battle of Gabe and Tycho.'"

    Not terribly exciting, but the official press release is here:

    Exact same text, but there's two illustrations from the cards.

    Had TFA bothered to link to the real press release, as Gabe did on PA's site, you'd've seen that there is new art of the Merch in Fleshreaper form. Very frightening. Too bad we got a link to a cut-and-paste of a press release, instead of anything interesting.

    Here's the actual press release, if you'd like to see the art.
