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.

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.

I don’t know why I didn’t share this sooner. I should have been smart enough to show you this when DP 9 announced Summer Blitz. With Gen Con only being a few days away I thought I would share some information with you about Heavy Gear. The really cool part is the rules are a free download for a short while.

Don’t forget to click the link on the left to get your free copy of the rule books.
