HeroClix Event for Wednesday, July 6

Come join us for a Blast From the Past! Journey with us back to those thrilling days of yesteryear...when all these heroes and villains were just starting to get the hang of beating each other silly. Bring your favorite Rookies, start in the mailroom and work your way up! 300 points, no Experienced/Veteran/Unique/LE figures. Rookies only! Everyone is welcome. Play begins at 6pm and is FREE!

Wednesday releases

WOO-HOO! Heroclix Fantastic Forces is here! Come and get them while they're hot! A great new lineup of new figures including a bunch of double-sized figs. Also featuring some great new version of your old favorites. Of course, the Fantastic Four is in the set, both as basic rares and as new super-rares with secret identity names!

The second lineup for Anachronism is also in featuring four new personalities each from Egypt, Great Britain, China and Mongolia. The new starter features Ramses II vs. Genghis Khan! This is a great game for those of you who are a little burned out on the traditional randomly collectible card games.

New Stuff

Shadows Over Camelot is here! I had a chance to play this at GTS 2005 with the game designers and a number of other industry dignitaries, and I must say, it rocks! In my opinion, this is one of the best new games out this year, along with FFG's Ingenious. SOC is a cooperative game where the players are knights of the round table, but beware, one of you may be a traitor! Good stuff for 3 to 7 players.

Dark Champions: The Animated Series is also here from Hero Games.
