Just in time for Gen Con Indy, the fine folk at Privateer Press have posted the entire rulebook for Monsterpocalypse, their kaiju-riffic collectible miniatures game. I’ve been eager to check this out for months now, and it looks every bit as fun as I’d anticipated.

We’ll be stopping by the PP booth, and maybe even the Gen Con Indy Cataclysm event, to check it out. Stay tuned for further coverage!

I’ve been remiss in not mentioning an upcoming kaiju-themed collectible miniatures game called Monsterpocalypse, from the fine folks at Privateer Press games. Privateer has been promoting the game pretty heavily lately, and I can see why - it looks awesome!

I’m not a big CM fan (I miss the act of sitting around painting minatures, something the collectible market has largely done away with), but Monsterpocalypse combines two of my great loves, wargaming and giant monsters.

Like other wargames, Monsterpocalypse’s units are parceled into factions, giving players the impetus to build up armies of one faction or another, and over at the game’s site Privateer has been revealing each of the factions. This week’s faction are the Terrasaurs which - as the name suggests - are gigantic lizards. Last week it was G.U.A.R.D., the mecha-heavy faction consisting of big bruiser-bots.

There will also be a Monsterpocalypse comic, launching in Fall ‘08 (alongside the game), and there’s even a development blog, for those that want an inside look into the game’s development.

As usual, we’ll be at GenCon this year, and we’ve been assured that the game will be on tap. We’ll keep you posted as the game’s development proceeds.
