April 2013 Promo Cards
A Big Thank You to everyone that has supported the show with promo cards!
These publishers are making every effort to get us promo cards for the show. When the cards are actually in hand, we will update this page with pictures. For any number of reasons, the promised promos may not make it for the show. Anything that arrives late due to shipping, approvals, or any other reason will be included in the next show's promo pack.

Largo Intergalactic ViE
