74 Comments

IDW Games have a ton of new games with them at GenCon, with the Heroes in a Half Shell themselves, Spongebob Squarepants, and the deductive reasoning of Death Note. Meanwhile, Masque of the Red Death sees you waltzing through one of Poe’s most famous stories.

I love how they took a more twisted, Tim Burton-esque take on the design. It suits Poe’s work really good.

And i love, love, love their licensed games. Be it Batman TOS, Sonic or Turtles, can’t wait to get my hands on them.

I’m a sucker for a deduction game and IDW’s production values have gotten ridiculously good.

toricova

man that TMNT game looks amazing!!! all the minis are really incredible

filipeh

Death Note is an incredible anime. That second half of th DN game, gave me a good impression of immersion on the series.
The TMNT minis are nice.

I love that story and it sounds like a cool game.

amachan

Wasn’t this same video on the day 1 post as well?

Just the name E. A. Poe gets me excited, since I love most of his work. Just like Mr. Lovecraft he´s a source of many a thrilling reading evening. And a game with all that? Great! As Mr. Poe wrote quite a few stories maybe there is, somewhere, an idea for a sequel of “Red Death”. First keywords I can think of are ravens, Ushers, purloined letters and what not.

IDW seems to be stepping up their efforts over the past year, as far as games go. Looking forward to several of these projects!

lgeiger

I totally missed this game on kickstarter

“The Masque of the Red Death” such a classic Poe story that I’ve enjoyed teaching to my students for many years. It’s very interesting to see it in board game form!

OK,a spongebob mini. My nephew would love that.

You can find a mini of more or less anything these days, its glorious. I remember buying white dwarf when it was just a small pamphlet about RPGs mainly, had no photographs, just drawings, including the front cover. That was the entire tabeletop hobby at the time, at least as much as young me could easily access.

Now I can buy minis of daleks, chewbacca and spongebob squarepants. What a time to be alive.

Kinda digging the aesthetic here

rgreenparadox

TMNT! and Batman.

tmon

Wow IDW sure had a lot of interesting games!!

darkdanegan

Ooh deja vu – we get this video twice! Good to get another look at Death Note Confrontation though – that looks very cool.

beeff86

innes

Deathnote game sounds really good. Never watched the series. Any good?

marktarver

Masque of the red death sounds really cool

thegaffer87

Love the idea of a TMNT board game. Great to see it with multiple ways to play including single player.

derlehrer

I haven’t played many IDW games, but these look delightful. Masque of the Red Death could be good for classroom use, though my students have always liked the revenge narrative in The Cask of Amontillado a little bit more. 🙂

normandyfan

OK

bloodbeard

E.A. Poe games, great idea. IDW is really getting good.

loyalskritna

A lot of creativity from these guys.
Hope they have a good time there

tuffyears

lawnor

spamelot

IDW repeats on us,

The death note game has me intrigued, I loved the anime (hated the movie). Looks like the gameplay has some similarities with Star Wars Rebellion, but in a shorter timespan.

spikeyfreakstu

I’m intrigued by the Gotham game after not backing the Kickstarter Batman game earlier in the year. Splat Attack looked kinda fun and desperately want a reptar miniature.
Masque of the red death looked wonderful, such a great concept too.

dogboydiesel

Death Note sounds interesting, not an angle I had thought of!

Love Edgar Allan Poe, so psyched for Masque of the red death!

crazycabo

trinitty

falcon86866

Beautiful minis!

lopyod

looks great! I hope there is a way to use the works version of TMNT with the new game

jondaw

The masque of the red death seems interesting. The story is a gray backdrop to a game…. disease, princesses, opulence and survival.

borflogz

Masque of death looks cool.

babone

Really interesting game!

senjimakoto

I guess I caught the demo/explanation at GenCon at the wrong time because I didn’t think Death Note looked all that good. I went over expecting to buy it but was left with a “Meh…” taste in my mouth. All the TMNT stuff looks fantastic though.

radegast6
