* ''[[Exalted]]'''s fanbase had been divided about the idea of including the Infernal Exalted in Second Edition. Not so much about the Green Sun Princes existing, as about just what the hell they were supposed to be like. When it was announced that Michael Goodwin, the writer for Manual of Exalted Power: The Abyssals, was going to be doing the Infernals, all the backdraft shut up and we're waiting to see what he'll come up with.
** Wait's over. It turned out pretty damn good.
** Pretty much every Ink Monkeys project/errata/fix does this for White Wolf Forum's Exalted fanbase.
* The spoiled plane cards in ''[[Magic: The Gathering]]'''s ''Planechase'' box set surprised quite a few fans when some older planes were announced. Who woud have thought they'd bring back Segovia, which was mentioned on only one card (Segovian Leviathan) and created entirely to explain that card's abnormally small power/toughness<ref>The plane of Segovia is roughly 1/100 the size of Dominaria</ref>? Who would have thought they'd bring back Moag, which appeared only in one of the books? Who would have thought they'd bring back Shandalar from the 90's [[Card Battle Game]]? Needless to say, many old-school fans were happy.
Line 17:
*** Eh, so it goes in the Extra Deck? *sigh* ''Another'' [[Game Breaker]] card type that will take no actual effort to Summ... wait, you mean they ''aren't'' Boss Monsters? And are actually ''balanced'' in comparison with normal Effect Monsters? '''Whoa'''.
** Okay, Konami, you know have full control of the game on both sides of the Pacific. When are you going to stop with the [[Flip-Flop of God]] and give us a clear answer on what the ruli...[http://yugioh.wikia.com/index.php?title=Forum:UDE%27s_Rulings_now_unofficial&t=20110507151226 Oh...]
* "Green Ronin has a big licensing announcement coming up... wonder what it'll be? ''[[Torg]]''? No. ''[[Mass Effect]]''? Nope. Wait... '''[[DC Comics]]???''' And it'll be compatible with ''[[Mutants and Masterminds]]''? ''HELL YEAH!!!''
* Games Workshop finally confirmed the long awaited 5th edition update for Dark Eldar in ''[[Warhammer 4000040,000]]'', with new models and a codex written by Phil Kelly (also behind the Orks, [[Space Wolves]], and Eldar codices). The fluff turns the Dark Eldar into psychotically evil bad-asses with megalomaniacal and grandiose schemes-- case in point: when they decided Commorragh needed a source of light and heat, they figured the simplest solution was to go and ''steal a few stars''. The Internet's response?
{{quote|ATTN: GAMES WORKSHOP. ALL IS FORGIVEN. EVERY PRICE RISE. EVERY BROKEN CODEX. EVERY SNUB TO THE FANBASE. ALL OF IT. THANK YOU.}}
** Plastic Sisters of Battle models, letting fans of the Sororitas build their armies for cheap.
* Huh, the changes to ''[[Pathfinder]]'''s paladins from [[Dungeons and& Dragons|D&D 3.5]] are kind of cool, but those [[Linear Warriors, Quadratic Wizards|nerfs to fighter feats]] seem kind of pointl- DREAMSCARRED PRESS IS DOING THE PSIONICS SYSTEM?!
* When news broke out that designer Monte Cook was forced out of [[Wizards of the Coast]] and was therefore taken off of development of ''[[Dungeons and& Dragons]]'' 5th Edition. For context, Cook is often blamed for 3rd Edition's shortcomings, such as making wizards (who he admitted were his favorite class) overpowered while making non-caster classes weaker, and his "Ivory Tower" design philosophy making the game very unfriendly to new players. To many fans, Cook's departure can only mean good things for 5th Edition.
* ''[[New World of Darkness]]'': ''Mummy: the Curse''...not sure if want...holy crap. Greg Stolze and Michael Goodwin are working on it? And Greg did the ''Cult'' rules? Where do we sign over our firstborn children?
