In this Box Breaking Matt busts Giant Man out of his prison. This box breaking is a little longer than most because we take a look at the dials.

 

 

Thanks for watching.  Let us know if you think we could have done something different.  The height of the figure in relation to the dial was a bit of a challenge.

We had a chance to visit with Shelly at  the Wizards of the Coast booth.  She has a lot of information for us about the Rise of the Under Dark.  We even talk about Joe.

Shelly shares a lot of information with us, while having a good time.

 

The Rise of the Underdark is going to be a great gaming experience.  It really suits players that like to force others out of their comfort zone.

One of the cooler things about this series is that he source book is presented so it can be used in all five editions of the game.  IF that is the future of 5th ed Wizards is moving in the right direction.

While at Gen Con 2012 we visited with the WizKids  crew.  They were happy to pull out the Batman figs for us (and others around).  I like where the game seems to be going and with all of the super hero RPG’s. This set is going to be a great addition to the scene. Batman No Man’s Land is scheduled for a November release.

Let’s take a look at some of these guys.

Oh my!  It’s E.T.  I was shocked to see these guys.  I really don’t know more than what you see, but they are cool.

More pictures…

We had the chance to talk with Lyle from Privateer Press about Level 7, and the Gargantuans.  Level 7 has some interesting twist as a semi-cooperative board game.   And he answered all of my questions about Gargantuans.

 

 

 

 

It is going to be interesting to watch the level 7 IP unfold.

One of the cooler thing I had the chance to see at Gen Con was the Vatacina Confessor.    One can only imaginne the craft powers he will bring to the table in Rezolution.  just look at him.  He stands on a rock worthy of Magneto.  He has a whip- no thoughts there.  But look at the hand, that is the Darth Vader choke if I have ever seen one.   Being a Rezolution player I can’t wait to get my hands on this model.  Rezolution is one of the best games out there.

You can learn everything you need to know about Rezolution here.
