All the classic undead are there—skeletons, wights, vampires—as well as a vampire bat, black cat, and skeletal parrot. Also, each of the figures is fully statted for Savage Worlds.

ElementaliS for $5

elementalisTremorworks is now offering ElementaliS, and a set of the expansions and new rules, for $5 each. Formerly $15.

You can pick it up here.

hasbro_logoHasbro and EA are continuing to transfer Hasbro game properties to digital equivalents.

Hasbro is planning an entire game channel on XBox Live Arcade. Games will include several versions of Scrabble, as well as Boggle, Battleship, Yahtzee, Connect Four, Sorry!, and Sorry! Sliders.

Of course, these games are really only fun when you play with other people. Playing Boggle against a computer can only occupy so much of one’s time.
