I had the pleasure of sitting down for lunch at Harry and Izzy’s for lunch the first day of Gen Con 50.  This wasn’t my first visit, my prior visit was in 2010 I believe, and is one of my favorite dining experiences ever. The time I spent there with my wife, Lisa, has made me want to return ever since. Sadly, I ate alone on this adventure.

The Dark Age Path to Glory 2 player Starter is by far the easiest starer to assemble ever! And if you saw the box braking you already know the figs look great.

I will admit I can’t roll low very well, but that doesn’t mean I won’t hurt your head when we play.
