A friend in the industry told us that UXM is going to have a rolling release schedule and that as far as he knows, it starts with the set-up boxes, which he'll be getting in to his store this week.

This is the same fellow who helped us with those spoiler pics from the Alliance dealer demos, so it's fair to say that he's credible.

Apparently, something new will be coming each week all the way up until the wide release, so start checking with your FLGS. UXM Dice Masters items may begin flowing soon! Your mileage may vary depending on what your store has ordered.

In this episode, Dave and Evan have a stranger in their midst, who fills the guys in on her exploits. Then, we look at some of the recent rules modifications that have come out. Finally, we discuss the cards that have been spoiled that we think will have a strong impact on the meta moving forward.

It's that time again!  Once again, I hadn't been able to get my hands on the same cache of OP rewards as I did for Month One, so the contest will again be for the Month Three basic action: Deflection.

Okay, maybe not the most exciting basic action, but surely it's nice to have the set?  And complete your set you can...if you're one of our four lucky winners.

And as with the above, the changes continue to flow.

common/uncommon/rare sets of cards - to all of us.

Now that we're getting into the teens as far as number of characters, it's a good idea to give these a look. Evan recently got started with some thoughts, but now we have even more since then.

So, here are some quick hit reviews of what we see - trust me, the in-depth stuff is coming when we can put it into the context of, well, everything.

In this episode, Dave and Evan talk about some games that they've been playing and silly mistakes therein. After that, we look at our top ten favorite dice - which ones in this game speak the most to us aesthetically? Which fit their character the best?

While you're waiting for the podcast to come up, Hunter from Weaponsgrade managed to get his hands on a copy of the Uncanny X-Men starter set as well as a booster box and did an unboxing and review. We're licking our chops looking at these characters and dice! We've embedded the videos after the jump.

We're pleased to welcome Randy to our crew here at TRP. Randy comes in having done comic-related reviews in the past and, to hear him tell it, is "obsessed" with this game.

Randy has been an entrant in both of our contests so far - in fact, he was the one who submitted the King James card in the most recent one. This implies some ties to Cleveland on his part, but don't worry - we're cool. Welcome aboard!

Greetings, dicefans!  Not content with the big old pile of Dice Masters news over the last week or so, WizKids has also started to give us spoilers for Uncanny X-Men.  So far, they've given us the full set of cards for eight characters - Apocalypse, Bishop, Cable, Emma Frost, Magik, Mister Sinister, Marvel Girl, and Namor, and as you might have gathered from yesterday's podcast, I'm pretty excited about what I'm seeing.

So excited, in fact, that I just can't hide it - or help myself from giving some first impressions.

In this short episode, Dave and Evan hold down the fort while Katie is galavanting across the world with an audio file that they're missing. In the meantime, we give a broad look at the recent spoilers at the set and macro level. There's some cool stuff coming down the pipeline, guys and gals!

Some new spoilers have come out today.

You may have seen some of them on Facebook, but that's not what I'm talking about. That's newsworthy, but this is about the future! No, I'm talking about a friend of the blog who asked to be credited as Superdan567 about MANY upcoming cards and sets. Some of it involves things that we knew were coming, but now we have more concrete information about it.

Here we go.

Today, we look at the cards that best express the themes and powers inherent in the characters that they represent - in the form of our first-ever top 10 list! We also announce our contest winners for the OP Month 2 create-a-card contest.

Usually I drop it around midnight, but due to some technical issues as well as some health issues, I'll be delaying it until sometime around tomorrow AM/Midday. Sorry, folks! Just haven't had the chance to put the time into it that is needed, and feeling ill doesn't help.
