finishes his initial Rust Devils force.
Hawgleg is hittin' the trail and hunting cowboy zombies in Transylvania this weekend. Or, more specifically, Gutshot co-creator Mike Mitchell will be attending UCon at the Little Church from Transylvania in Houston, Texas, and he'll have a whole passel of stuff on hand from the upcoming game, Gutshot: Night of the Living Deadwood.
The convention is an all-day event: Saturday, Aug. 2, 2008, at the Northwest Community Unitarian Universalist Church (NWCUUC), 5920 Hwy 6 North, Houston, Texas, 77084. This is in Northwest Houston near HWY 6 and West Little York. The convention is billed as a "Pop-Culture" event and, in addition to gaming, will feature comic books, science fiction, movies, anime, manga, and possibly even Goth.
Hawgleg Release Zombies & Graves at UCon
In addition to the playtest, Mitchell will also unveil a few items from the Night of the Living Deadwood product line. Specifically, he will be selling miniatures and resin graves (both are 25mm scale).
"We've had the miniatures ready to go for about a year now, and I think the graves have been ready even longer than that," Mitchell revealed. "Our original plan was to hold these back and release everything with the rulebook. But, after talking it over amongst ourselves, we've decided to just put it all out there right now."
The miniatures pack includes four, unpainted 25mm Undead cowboys and one "dead zombie" marker, for a total of five different figures. This pack will sell for $10 USD at the convention, or until supplies run out. Since these were cast before the recent increases in metal prices, the price will be slightly higher when they are recast in the future.
The Six Pack of Graves contains six assorted 25mm-30mm grave mounds with a marker (some markers appear to be wooden while others appear to be stone). There are actually nine sculpts scattered throughout the six packs. So, although there are no duplicates in a single bag, if you buy two bags you will get some duplicates. The graves are cast in bright white resin, are unpainted and sell for $5 USD.
As a convention special, Hawgleg will pay the sales tax on all items.
"Truth be told, I don't like messing with loose change," Mitchell said. "So our bookkeeper figured out the tax for each item and juggled the numbers so we can charge even numbers for everything at our booth."

"Just keep in mind that some of these items are in low quantities right now, so it may take us a week or two to restock them in the event that we sell out at UCon," Mitchell said. "But rest assured, we'll make these available to the public just as soon as we can."
