Angel
RPGFor those not familiar, role playing games (or RPGs), are book-based games which normally allow a player to create a character in a given fantasy world and then interact with other players within this game world. The most famous RPG is Dungeons and Dragons, which is the core that many current games are still designed around.
A recent trend in RPGs is to have licensed titles from television shows. Many people want these books, not for the game, but for the information contained within. Depending on the title, there can be a wealth of information about the details of a fictional world within an RPG.
Scifi Cards stocks a few RPGs which are designed to appeal to the collector, rather than the hardcore gamer. We have access to most all games currently on the market like Dungeons and Dragons, Star Wars, Star Trek, Buffy, and tons others. If you are looking for a game, it is a good possibility it can be special ordered for you.
Normal Stock RPGs, and upcoming books in those lines:
Vampires stalk alleys and boardrooms; demons linger over murders and plan conquest; evil lawyers cover tracks, set up schemes, and bring expensive brainpower to the diabolical. Over it all, the end of existence looms. How can one person stand up for the helpless while warding off the apocalypse? Inside this gorgeous tome, we'll show you how. Here, you will find: An introduction to role-playing and the Angelverse! A guide to character creation, including pre-constructed Heroes and White Hats, as well as the entire Angel Investigations Cast, for your quick-play pleasure! The Angel Unisystem, streamlined for cinematic action and adventure! A primer on not-so-normal abilities, from magic and psychic arts to demon and supernatural powers! Rules for creating special organizations-anything from law firms to detective agencies to hunter societies! A guide to the people and places of the City of Angels!

Babylon 5 Roleplaying Game and Fact Book
Notice the title? The publisher realizes that many fans will buy this
as a guide and never play the game and thus have been trying to pack it full of

and this is an official product which is being reviewed by Straczynski prior to
publishing. To quote Matt Sprange of Mongoose Publishing, "It is our
intention to make the Babylon 5 role-playing game the closest representation of
the television show that is possible." and "That said, nothing escapes
the attention of the Babylon 5 Continuity Editor, Fiona Avery and J. Michael
Straczynski himself. The Babylon 5 RPG _will_ be true to the setting."
