Hello!

        Spent some time today on the phone with ICE and am passing along some 
METW product info. Any mistakes are my own:

1) Two new Player's Guides are coming out next year! They are:

        a) The Dragons Player Guide (Jan?)
        b) Dark Minions Player Guide (Mar?)

2) LIDLESS EYE is slated for Spring `97. It should be somewhere around 480 
cards or so, of which around 300 will be released in LIDLESS EYE and the rest 
in the first expansion for the set, sometime later in `97.

3) After LIDLESS EYE will come WHITE HAND, an expansion set with about 180 
cards. This set will allow you to play a corrupt Wizard! If I remember 
correctly, about 80 or so cards will deal directly with playinmg corrupt 
Wizards, the rest will be general game-enhancer cards (much like what was done 
with THE DRAGONS).

4) After all of this will come WAR HOSTS, which will introduce cards and rules 
that will actually let you start doing things with factions (rather than 
having them just sitting there doing nothiong).

5) ICE has received a proto-type for a MP counter that will feature a rather 
large Wizard on it. From the description, it -KIND- of sounded like the SCRYE 
counters used for MtG. The people at ICE who have seen this MP counter were 
very impressed with it and said it was very cool.

        That's all that I have in my notes....

Eric
