Fluxx...My goal is to buy a BUNCH of blank card packs at GenCon this year, and to add an element of Mao to Fluxx. Every time someone wins a game, they get a blank card at random, add text to it (using a specific set of rules as to what can and cannot be allowed - No player should be able to be in a situation where they cannot draw at least one card during their turn, or play at least one card during their turn; no hidden state between turns; No tokens) and shuffle it into the deck. In time, I hope to have a fluxx deck that is at least 50% new cards.Doug Justice - sorry, although we were quite impressed with the Guardian of Order's ability to get us into packed night clubs past the lineup, we weren't schmoozing about product much except for me once again raving about Ex Machina (the best CyberPunk RPG on the market - coming from a CyberPunk 2020 fanatic and someone who really dislikes the TriStat system). I didn't play in any demos or other RPG games, and Dextra only played the one C&C demo - we usually play board games and card games at Cons.and now, back to the Box O Loot<a href="http://www.malhavocpress.com/cgi-bin/page.cgi?arcanaevolved" target="_blank">ARCANA EVOLVED</a>I'm one of those people who was somewhat underwhelmed by Arcana Unearthed... although I have started looking to it for replacing the spellcasters in D&D in order to reduce the power level of high level spells (getting rid of some of the troublemakers like teleport). Well, AE almost has me hooked. This book is leaps and bounds beyond AU, and is almost enough to make me start running a game using its system instead of settling in to another Arcanis campaign. One of the items that is giving me this impetus, mind you, is the Arcana Evolved BattleBox, from Fiery Dragon. Very nice supplement to the game. Arcana Evolved & BattleBox, welcome to the Box O Loot.<a href="http://www.fierydragon.com/products/prod-bbox.htm" target="_blank">BATTLE BOX</a>If you are into minis for your games, and don't have enough, Fiery Dragon has awesome boxes of counters that I've been using since the beginning of 3.0 basically. But the revolution came last year at GenCon with the release of the Battle Box, and the Counter Collection Gold. I picked up CCGold at GenCon last year (a metal tin full of die-cut 3.5 monster tokens), but the battle box was sold out. The Battle Box has little cards for all the major actions such as Bull Rush, Trip and so on, giving you all the rules you need to do it, as well as a nice little pursuit system and a bunch of templates for spell effects like fireballs, burning hands, lightning bolt and so on. I also have the Dungeon Tiles box, with a whole slew of 6x6 dungeon tiles by Ed Bourelle. Dungeon Tiles & Battle Box, welcome to the Box O Loot.<a href="http://www.paradigmconcepts.com/home/" target="_blank">LEGACY OF DAMNATION</a>I'll admit it, I have a stiffy for Arcanis, the setting published and run by Paradigm Concepts. What I REALLY love about Arcanis is it gets more publisher support than any other setting right now - they publish a ton of adventures every year for the RPGA for their living Arcanis campaigns, and run huge events, day in and day out, at Origins. Legacy of Damnation is a book about the Dark Kin and the lands where the demons still run rampant. Dark Kin are humans tainted with demonic blood. Cool book, great flavour material, eagerly purchased and added to the Box O Loot!<a href="http://forums.privateerpress.com//index.php?act=ST&f=50&t=40581" target="_blank">MONSTERNOMICON 3.5</a>What more need be said? One of, if not THE best monster book released, now revised to 3.5. Welcome to the Box O Loot.<a href="http://www.zmangames.com/products/bellbottomed/bellbottomed.htm" target="_blank">BELL-BOTTOMED BADASSES ON THE MEAN STREETS OF FUNK</a>Although Z-Man games was formed to bring back the old ShadowFist CCG, the real genius is the invention of a Canadian game designer - the B-movies card games. We've been playing these for a few years now, starting with the classic <a href="http://www.zmangames.com/products/grave_robbers/grave_robbers.htm" target="_blank">Grave Robbers From Outer Space</a> and expanding on to Cannibal Pygmies in the Jungle of Doom and Kung Fu Samurai on Giant Robot Island... last year they released two new games in the set that I hadn't picked up yet - Skippy's Revenge (Grave Robbers from Outer Space II) and Bell-Bottomed Badasses on the Mean Streets of Funk. The release they are getting ready for GenCon this year? BERSERKER HALFLINGS FROM THE DUNGEON OF DRAGONS. It's not out yet, but the two from last year have been gleefully added to The Box O Loot.<a href="http://www.zmangames.com/products/BFM/BFM.htm" target="_blank">BABY'S FIRST MYTHOS</a>I know I just finished talking about Z-man games, but hey, we bought a lot of stuff there. This is a cute speller book (A is for Azathoth...) of the Cthulhu Mythos. Must have. In the same theme, we also picked up the Cthulhu Colouring and Activity Book from another publisher. Ahh... Cthulhu for Kids, welcome to the Box o Loot!</blockquote>
