Wondering what was talked about at the SDCC 2013 Blizzard Licensing panel? The fine folks over at Blizzplanet have released a video recording of the entire panel from start to finish. Included in the discussion are new toys, statues, and upcoming books -- including the children's book Snowfight, written by Chris Metzen with illustrations by Wei Wang, that we mentioned last week.

The panel also included a fairly lengthy Q&A session that covered both licensed products and game questions as well. Q&A topics ranged from the future of beloved raid instances like Karazhan to the balance between including major events both in novels and in the game itself, as well as balance between PvP and PvE, among many other topics. There are also some funny moments like the video above, in which Chris Metzen deftly avoids spoiling the debut of the Warcraft movie teaser that was shown later on in another panel at the convention. Be sure to check out Blizzplanet's post for the full set of panel videos.

Publishing company Insight Editions is coming out with a pretty cool and unique new item this fall -- Blizzard-themed journals with gorgeous covers featuring images from both the Warcraft and Diablo III franchises. These 192-page ruled journals feature sewn binding that allows the journal to lay flat while you write. Themes include a Sindragosa-inspired frostwyrm cover as well as Alliance and Horde logos in red and blue, and a duo of Diablo III covers featuring the High Heavens and the Burning Hells.

Pretty and compact, the journals are the perfect place to jot down all your deepest thoughts, your most secret raid strats and ideas, or your most creative and entertaining Anduin and Wrathion fan fiction. Yes, we know it's out there. While the exact release date for the journals hasn't been revealed, you can pre-order yours for $18.95 on Insight Editions' website -- perfect holiday gift, anyone?
