Is anyone going to Gen Con this year? I am and I can't wait! My fingers are crossed that PB may have something cool up its sleeve there.

I'll be there running two Heroes Unlimited Games, one Palladium Fantasy, and helping
out any way I can. I will also be around to hype Palladium Fantasy sourcebook
Lopan. It will be awesome :D Hopefully we will have three sourcebooks available for
fans and the public.

Which HU games are you running? A friend and I are playing 2 of them... or at least registered to play 2. Our airline was kind enough to change our flight time after we bought tickets, so that may prevent us from playing the Sunday morning game. We're signed up for Pandemonium in Purgatory's Panhandle and The Devil's Justice.

We also signed up for 2 BTS games.

When you mention three sourcebooks, what do you mean by that?

Can't remember which games are for which days but One Hour of Inferno and the Good Doctor
K are the two HU Games. The Lost Fort is the Fantasy game. I'm not running any Sunday
games this year. Last year ran 4 games and :ugh: was way to much for me. Not enough time
to see or do anything. This year three games and Sunday is time to shop and find bargains
and of course help out at the Palladium table.

That's cool! We're easy... I emailed you a while back about using my own character. I think we'll just use your pregens to avoid issues. Should be fun!

Hmm you probably have to ask the great and powerful NMI to see what he can do.
The fantasy game I'm running doesn't have anything to do with Lopan, takes place in
Timiro, however many of the characters have items you can purchase from the
kingdom of Lopan, the trade capital of Palladium Fantasy.

Yup I was shocked when they said they sold out. It is going to be pretty epic this year. And if the printers are able to get stuff out soon enough should be a few new palladium things to pick up and get autographed there.

Juvi tends to hit those neck shots, she nearly has killed 56, and Sleuth with that move.

I admit, when I found out your RL background, I thought, "oh man, he's gonna bust me so hard on RL tactics!"

Glad you enjoyed yourself!

I ought to post this under BtS2, but it's Gen Con related, so what the heck... I wanted to specifically mention this premise because I thought it was so novel.

Friday, I played one of the most interesting games ever... it was BtS2, GM'd by Brandon. Our group played our characters as 4th graders in the 1980s. No one had fully manifested powers, adults couldn't (or wouldn't) help us, we all rode our bikes around the neighborhood and we even did combat with 7th graders! It was more fun that I would've ever thought!

Thank you to all the GM's I got to play with:

DAVE, who we not only all instantly clicked with as if we'd been playing together for years, but was a GM machine (he stood the entire time..hahaha),

BRANDON, who was fun as hell and made a great game even greater (if that was even possible), and

MATT, whose ability to describe the setting made us all believe we were really there! (Plus his knowledge of our characters was second to none)

Thanks guys, for helping make my 1st Gen Con incredible!

I've never seen Stranger Things, but my buddy who went to the con with me and who also played said it was very much that vibe. I thoroughly enjoyed it because it reminded me of all the shenanigans my friends and I got into while riding around the neighborhood on our bikes (minus the Supernatural goings on... hahaha).

I thought it was so good, it ought to be a published adventure!

This was from Palladium's Twitter. We were playing BtS2. Old news, I suppose.
