Pulp Monsters has announced that it will be running some cross-over games of Pulp City and AE-WWII at GenCon Indy in collaboration with Darkson Designs.

From their announcement:

As some of you might know, in a good comic book/pulp fashion, the Darkson Designs team and Pulp Monsters decided to have two cross-over games of AE-WWII and Pulp City at this year’s GenCon.

To celebrate this event (and hopefully more to come), Pulp Monsters will release a very special Supreme miniature.

First in the line of Pulp City Golden Age, super heroes and villains inspired by the Golden Age of Comics era, these miniatures are meant to be played in story driven games, but if your opponent agrees, there is no reason not to use them in a regular Pulp City encounter.

The games take place on Sunday:

11 AM the AE-WWII rules event
3 PM the Pulp City rules event

The Crisis has begun with the release of DC HeroClix: Crisis, and mighty gatherings of heroes and villains are fighting for control of the battlefield. But the ultimate battle is yet to come, as the Anti-Monitor arrives.

In HeroClix, the Anti-Monitor is a colossal figure that comes to the battlefield at one of three power levels and point values: Destroyer (600 points), Obliterator (800 points), or Annihilator (1,000 points). Though he has the boot speed symbol, he is a UNIVERSAL CONQUEROR (Phasing/Teleport) who can go wherever he likes on the battlefield for the entire length of his dial.
