Gen Con 2017 Badges almost all sold out

Gen Con turns 50 this year, and it looks like everygamer wants to go and celebrate.  4-Day badges are already sold out (yay for press passes!), Saturday badges are almost sold out, and a limited quantity of single day badges for all 4 days are still available.

At this point, there will be no on-site badges sold at Gen Con 50.  There will be a Will Call... and I will get there early to get mine.  Bring water and a fully charged phone or a book if you are going to stand in Will Call.

Review: Soulworker, or, Welcome to the Grind

Soulworker is an anime action brawler, created by Lion Games and published by GameForge.  Set in a post-apocalyptic purgatory, you play one of (currently) four young schoolchildren who fell from the real world into the world of Soulworker.  The tutorial gives you the setting, which varies slightly for each character, and then moves you to the first hub area.  From there, you begin questing so you can get gear so you can do harder quests for more gear and to progress the story, using energy every time you enter a quest area.  The combat is a lot of fun, but if you're unwilling to pay - the current in-game economy is beyond ridiculous, and the premium currency is wildly overpriced - the game gets very grindy. The characters are the different classes, and the character designs are all very charming, even if they go a bit far on the 'females are to be looked at' side.  There's Haru, a broadsword wielding pre-med student who is apparently allergic to things coveri...

Checker BPG prepares for launch of Superhero 2044 Kickstarter

Checker Book Publishing Group released a demo video of the upcoming re-release of the first ever superhero role-playing game, Superhero 2044.  This is a remake of the original system from 1974, a game not as well known as D&D but still paved the way for other superhero RPGs such as Villains and Vigilantes, Champions, and of course, DC Heroes.  And that led to superhero video games that didn't suck. Like City of Heroes/Villains and Batman: Arkham Asylum. While the Checker BPG page does seem to heavily feature large boobed women, the game supports actual diversity.  It will come with hundreds of premade characters, from every race, gender, creed, and color, and they are all integrated into the game like normal people. The Kickstarter will be launched on August 16, 2017.  Superhero 2044 will be both an RPG and a card game, with an expected release sometime in 2018.

Review: Years late to the party, Heroes of the Storm is fun and worth playing

Have you played Heroes of the Storm ?  It's Blizzard's brawler... MOBA... collectible... what genre is this game, even?  Well, it's fun, that's for sure.  I decided to test it out after binging on trailers   (don't do it, the rabbit hole is deep! but fun) and realizing that I have never played HotS, but I have played other Blizzard games.  So I figured I would give it a try. I knew that I would be starting off at a huge disadvantage, what with being free to play and starting at level 1 but - it doesn't matter.  What matters is if you click (not even how fast) and if you are capable of teamwork.  I made some mistakes, and - people were nice about it.  I even accidentally joined an endgame match and ruined it for my team :( but they were all pretty chill about it.  HotS has a pretty generous questing/reward system that does not specify winning.  They just want you to play.  This is the regular matches, I assume the eSports sect...
