I wonder if you can use there characters for customs for heroscape.

I checked it out. Sounds interesting and fairly cheap. It would be fun to play sometime.

We will be running 2-3 tournaments daily as well.

We hope to see you there!

I am kind of excited to give this one a try! Undead egyptians anyone? No? How about Romans riding grizzly bears backed up by minotaurs??!!

Andrew at Pulp said he recieved the promo pack, and we can Demo the game there if anyone is interested. The rules are avliable a=t the web site. I'm interested...

LoL

lol indeed. Nice choice of music

Yeah... they were intended to be campy I'm sure... God I hope so. But the game still seems innovative and just all around cool. Steam powered romans? Necromancer Egyptians? Awesome...

I really like what I've seen so far about this game. The movement reminds me a lot of Battlegrounds which is a good thing. Every time I see a tape measure for a game I run away. I'm kind of bummed that Dan has said he's not planning on buying the game since I'm definitely not going to buy into it if no one is playing it.

Maybe we can at least play around with Drew's demo copy some time?

Yeah...I was hoping that, after seeing it a gen con, I wouldn't like it...but I ended up really liking what I saw and decided not to demo it. Three miniatures games would probably = divorce for me. But yeah, I'll totally play a game with you up[ at pulp.
Did you Demo it?

I didn't actually demo it, just had the basics explained to me. That was on Sunday and I was trying to cram as much stuff in as possible in 2 hours

Drew said he knows how to play and should be able to teach the game... but I have no idea when he'd actually have time to do such a thing.

He also mentioned he is impressed by the game after talking to the makers at GenCon.

We still need to try this one out...
