Modiphius Entertainment has announces today the line-up of activities planned for the historic Gen Con 50. Gen Con runs August 17-20 in Indianapolis, Indiana. Modiphius will be launching the highly anticipated Star Trek Adventures: The Roleplaying Game, the first new Star Trek RPG to release in more than a decade.

With an all-star design team behind the bridge, Star Trek Adventures uses the Modiphius 2d20 game system designed by Jay Little. The accompanying Star Trek miniatures line features 32mm-heroic scale resin figures of classic Star Trek characters and crews, landing parties and away teams, all of which will be on display at Gen Con. Attendees will be able to purchase the Star Trek Adventures core rulebook, along with custom Q-Workshop Star Trek Adventures dice, at the Modiphius booth #2461.

Attendees of Gen Con will also be among the first with an opportunity to demo the forthcoming Fallout: Wasteland Warfare miniatures wargame and preview select miniatures. Set to release in December 2017, Fallout: Wasteland Warfare puts players in the midst of the apocalypse with the stories from the video game franchise, as well as unique random missions with narrative-style objectives, played out with high-detail 32mm heroic-scale miniatures, including iconic characters, factions, creatures, robots, scenery and settlement buildings from the Fallout universe.

Attendees will also be able to pick-up the Thunderbirds cooperative board game for only $20, available at the Modiphius booth with the special voucher from the Gen Con coupon book.
