[QUOTE="QuaziquestGM, post: 3050231, member: 22559"] Hello everybody. I just got back from DragonCon 2006 (held every Labor Day weekend in Atlanta). One thing that I noticed in the gaming area was large banners advertising a new mini's game from Wotc called DreamBlade. I asked around and apparently it permeired at GenCon a few weeks ago. They held a "1000" tounament at DragonCon, but in a marketing snafu they sent noone to demo it and no promotional product to hand out. This seemed to mif some of the wotc guys running the magic tournament. One guy in my gaming group who shared a room with me at the con managed to get a player to teach him the game and liked it enough that he bought enough product so that he and (he hopes) his wife can play. He tried to show me how it is played the last night of the Con, but after 40 hrs of volunteer work at the Art show and playing games or watching Dr. Who until 3 AM I was too fried to pick it up. The minies look nice, most of them are fantasy or horror with only a few that have guns or chainsaws. It has the best looking ogre that I have ever seen. They are about 1.5 inch square bases, which make them about right for Large size on a d20 battle grid. Anyone out there play dreamBlade? Any possiblity of translating the creatures' ablities for use in a d20 type game? or are they only useful as mini's in terms of d20? Also at the con was a guy from Dallas who ran an unofficial HeroScape tournament. He is a fan of the game, active on message boards for it, who just wanted to publicise the game and get people to play with. He demoed it for me and invited me to play in the tournament, so I payed the 3$ entry fee (I guess the con charged him for table space). The prizes were all donated. I played 4 games, lost 3, and beat a 10 year old who didn't win any games for my only victory. a 12 year old won. At the end, since I was the only new player who did'nt own any of the product, I was given the starter set as a door prize. This includes 33 figures, and 300+ inches of connectible hexgrid pieces. One of the figs is a huge size dragon, another is a ork mouned on a....allasaurous? about 1/2 of the figs are suitible for fantasy use, with the rest having guns or being large size meka.

If nothing else I will use the figures as minis and use the hex blocks and the D20 hex grid rules for a few battles.
