Tyrants of the Underdark is a deck construction area control game.
After reading the rules it sounds wicked! It’s produced by Gale Force 9 and Wizards of the Coast.
When I first heard about this game at the Alliance open house I thought oh sweet some cool minis for D&D – don’t think that. Think I’m Drow instead.
Please check out my Gofundme to help with Gen Con expenses. Thanks in advance!

The demon lords have been summoned from the Abyss and have been wreaking havoc across the Underdark, causing madness and destruction on the drow, duergar and deep gnomes who already struggle to survive.

Deep in the darkness of the Demonweb Pits, Lolth has been spinning a web of deceit, treachery and ambition, but the time has come to fight back against her Darkening! Her goal – to seize control of arcane magic, a domain that has lain vacant since the death of Mystra a hundred years ago, and turn the surface world into eternal darkness. Under the advantage of her Darkening, Lolth’s servitors hope to help complete her ascendancy to her new role as Goddess of Magic. Can Lolth be stopped?
This season, there are three new features as the finale plays itself out:
Wizards of the Coast announced that R.A. Salvatore will be on tour in the North Eastern US with a stop or two in Canada. Here is the press release.
“Wizards of the Coast is thrilled to announce today’s release of Stone of Tymora, the new novel from New York Times best-selling author R.A. Salvatore and his son, Geno Salvatore.
Is a stone that makes you forever lucky a blessing? Or a curse? Adventure aboard Captain Deudermont’s Sea Sprite and follow the trail of the demon who is intent on destroying the luckstone inherited by one unlucky orphan. Featuring the sage wisdom of R.A. Salvatore’s best-selling character Drizzt Do’Urden, the Stone of Tymora is packed with action, magic, intrigue, and a heart-stopping twist that Salvatore fans won’t want to miss. Originally published as a trilogy for teens, this single volume, redesigned in a handsome adult package with a brand-new cover, is a must-have for adult Salvatore fans!

I hope you can make it to one of these events.
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.
