Yet most of the world is still unexplored – who knows what treasures and mysteries await deep in the jungles and high on the mountain tops. In the dark corners of the earth the undead lurk (a terrible reminder of the Great War) while villains and evil masterminds plot their deranged plans. These daring times demand extraordinary heroes.

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.

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.

I have finally managed to read through the quick start rules for Bushido The Game. While reading the rules I kept thinking does this work? When I was done reading I didn’t even want to play the game. My first rule on a game review play before you write. I’m glad I am disciplined enough to follow my rules. Because the game is fun and a lot of it.

If you didn’t already know Bushido the game is an Asian themed fantasy skirmish game. It is played on a 2×2 board with about 5 models a team.
