Here's the full info:

I am running Introductory (demos) Games of Hell Dorado at GenCon 2010 in Indianapolis.  In addition, the second annual Hell Dorado Tournament will be held there.  Here's all the info to head over to the website and get your tickets:

Each event will be an hour long, and I will run 4 people through a game of Hell Dorado.  I did this last year for 6 people and it was a little difficult for everyone to hear me clearly, so I had to lower the numbers.

And here's the info for the 2nd Annual Hell Dorado Tournament:

I find a little bit sad to see every round with the same scenario (and specially this one), but anyway, I'll try to be there, probably with my mercenaries.

[Magno]

Well, the announcement states the game and rulebook will be released at or around GenCon. I'll be there with Lost or Immortals.

I ran it that way last year, and it worked well.  That way at the end of the rounds you can go by points.  The biggest hurdle is that I don't have all the various scenarios in English and I found the few I do have aren't the best balanced for competive games.

If you have any suggestions, I'm certainly open to ideas and suggestions.

[Eusèbe]

Conquest, and red wave (maybe not the right name in english) are quite balanced scénario.

I like too the exploration one.

if you need translation, I can allways try to do it.
