New-Old Battle Dice Site

The most popular fan site for my Marvel Heroes Battle Dice game has been offline for a while, although it lasted longer than the game. However, its creator, Malakai, recently posted a refurbished version of the site.

Battle Dice Rules!

I’ve received a number of e-mails lately from people who have found Marvel Heroes Battle Dice booster boxes in bargain bins and snapped them up only to find they don’t have any rules for the game.

Battle Dice Big in Europe

I’d heard that my Marvel Heroes Battle Dice game was doing well in Europe, but I didn’t know for sure what that meant.

Apparently, there are some extra figures in the European set, which seem to be from Series 2, …

DC Battle Dice Previews: Starro

To cap off the week of Battle Dice previews, we have one more from the upcoming DC version of the game: Starro the Conqueror. If you thought MODOK was weird, he has nothing on the giant starfish alien who controls the minds of his victims via miniature, face-hugging versions of itself. Better yet, Starro takes the blame for the discovery …

DC Battle Dice Previews: Starfire

This time around, we have our first preview figure from the upcoming DC Battle Dice game.
