Space Hulk at Gen Con 2015
Gen Con event registration goes live this Sunday 5/17. Again this year we will be running Space Hulk at Gen Con. Look for the “Fall of Kagul III” events (NMN1572280 & NMN1572283) on Friday, July 31 at 11:00am and 4:00pm . Everyone had a blast playing this scenario at Adepticon on the 14′ x 4′ two level 3D terrain board and we’re planning a few improvements and tweaks to make it even better. Check out the Space Hulk page for rules and details on the scenario.
The terrain is built from the Spaceship X sets from Creative Gamescapes. I have a couple of cases for sale at a significant discount, (~$25 a set). Contact me at info@basementofdeath.com if you are interested.

Noise from the Basement Episode 2 – Gen Con 2014
Better late than never Ty and Troy get together in the B.o.D. to share their highlights of this year’s GenCon and discuss some books they are reading.
We ended up recording this in about four parts due to my issues with Garageband on the iPad so the conversation jumps around a little bit.
