Phew… we made it! Once again, the So Zetta Games team survived the epic three-day marathon that was The Dungeon Experience! Brought to life by Puerto Rico Comic Con and Cultura Secuencial this past weekend, it was an absolute blast showcasing the board games we know and love.

For those of you who might be new to our community, The Dungeon Experience is an amazing dedicated space at PRCC. A select team of content creators gets to set up shop and host free board game demos for convention-goers. You just walk in, grab a seat, and we teach you how to play!

We also want to give a huge shoutout to our fellow creators. It was fantastic teaming up with the Cardboard Cave Podcast again, and an absolute honor to meet and work alongside Planeta Meeple for the first time!

Rolling Heavy: D&D and Heroscape

While we had a little bit of everything available, our main focus for the weekend was moving Heroscape and Dungeons & Dragons.

Let’s talk D&D first! A huge welcome and congratulations to Steven Rivera Santiago and Angel Torres Bizaldi, who completely crushed their very first event with So Zetta Games! They handled the D&D demos all weekend, offering a variety of one-shots ranging from Level 1 beginner adventures to Level 5 campaigns for players wanting a bit more power.

Their tables were packed almost non-stop! They barely had time to breathe, but they handled the chaos perfectly, running some incredibly thrilling scenarios. In one game, a seemingly simple journey took a dark twist when an enchanted forest led the party to an isolated cabin. A little girl and her grandmother begged for help hunting a Blink Dog—but surprise! They were actually disguised hags looking to make the players their next course. In another high-stakes adventure, mortals and fey gathered for an initiation ceremony that was abruptly crashed by a jealous relative out to usurp control of the territory.
Meanwhile, I was holding down the fort with some epic Heroscape demo sessions. I went all out and built a massive four-biome stage! The map featured lava terrain simulating a volcano, water and land tiles for small islands, a dense forest, and a snow tundra. It is definitely one of the most complex maps I have put together so far.

We saw some truly legendary battles and wild dice rolling on that board. To keep things balanced and get people right into the action, guests could choose from one of four pre-built 300-point teams, each tailored to a specific biome.

Into the World of Warhammer 40K

We also had the pleasure of hosting special guests John Diaz and Ariana Rivera from our So Zetta Games team, and they did an absolutely stellar job running the Warhammer 40,000 demos!

They kept the action fast and accessible with quick 15-minute sessions, teaching guests the basics of moving, charging, attacking, reading the value cards, and—of course—rolling a ridiculous amount of dice! On top of the hands-on demos, John and Ariana ran a few exhibition matches that were open for the whole room to watch.

To top it all off, John brought along a massive display of his beautifully painted figure collection. So many people stopped by just to marvel at the incredible detail and the sheer size of his army. It was a huge hit!

Thank you so much to everyone who stopped by, rolled some dice, and shared some laughs with us. We can’t wait to see you at the next one!

The entire mall comes alive with energy, featuring tons of games, incredible cosplay contests, live entertainment, a huge variety of vendors, and so much more. It’s a fantastic opportunity to immerse yourself in pop culture, discover new favorites, and meet fellow fans.

This will be our third year as guests at the event, and we are absolutely honored to be back. The So Zetta Games team will have a dedicated play area on the second floor, right next to Hot Topic. You can expect to see Vanix and me at the game tables, ready to greet you and get some games going.

While the full showcase of games we’ll have is still under wraps, we can promise there will be at least one TTRPG in the mix! So please, come around, say hi, and roll some dice with us. We can’t wait to share our love for gaming with you all at this incredible event!

This time, attendees had the chance to demo the exciting miniatures deckbuilding game, Ascension Tactics! We dove headfirst into the ZIGGURAT OF KYTHIS scenario, a thrilling four-player, free-for-all race to be the first to reach 30 points. It was a close match but I was able to get the victory by getting one extra shrine for a 31 point win. Second play got 27 points, third place had 25 and forth place had 22.

Thanks to Nerdtopia for the invitation and providing the perfect spot for us to share this captivating, topsy-turvy conflict.

So Zetta Games just got back from an awesome weekend at the Puerto Rico Comic Con 2025. I was thrilled to be part of “The Dungeon Experience,” brought to you by the amazing folks at Puerto Rico Comic Con and Cultura Secuencial.

From Friday to Sunday, we were busy showing off some fantastic games like the epic Return to Dark Tower, the spooky Betrayal at House on the Hill, and the classic HeroScape. It was a blast introducing these games to so many different types of gamers!

We also had the chance to hang out with a bunch of other talented content creators who were demoing their favorite games. It was great seeing everything from Virus and Trio to Dungeons and Dragons, Warhammer 40k, and Queen by Midnight. So much gaming goodness in one place!

A huge shoutout and thank you to Luis Angel, aka “El Watcher” from Cultura Secuencial, for inviting us to be part of this incredible experience. We really appreciate it!

It’s been an incredible journey since November 2024, and we at So Zetta Games wanted to take a moment to reminisce about all the fantastic times we’ve had being a part of The Gamer Spot at Plaza del Caribe in Ponce! Hosted monthly in the Me Salvé hallway, this event has become a true hub for the local gamer and geek community, and we’ve been so honored to contribute to the fun.

Looking back, each month brought a fresh wave of enthusiasm and connection as content creators gathered to share their passions. For So Zetta Games, that meant bringing our favorite board games to the forefront, offering demos and introducing players to new and exciting worlds. Let’s take a little trip down memory lane:

Dungeons & Dragons(D&D):  

Descent: Legends of the Dark:

HeroScape:

Dice Throne:

Being a part of The Gamer Spot each month has been a privilege, connecting with so many passionate individuals and sharing our love for board games. It’s been a fantastic opportunity to introduce these amazing games to new players and connect with familiar faces.

None of this would have been possible without the incredible support and vision of NerdTopia, a local Ponce business that truly champions the geek community. We owe them a huge thank you for reaching out and extending the invitation to collaborate during The Gamer Spot. Our past collaborations with them, including the fantastic MegaGeekCon (another amazing yearly event at Plaza del Caribe Ponce!), speak volumes about their dedication to fostering this vibrant community.

While the monthly posts might have been missed, the memories and connections forged at The Gamer Spot since November 2024 will certainly last. Thank you to everyone who came out, rolled dice, explored dungeons, and shared in the fun. We at So Zetta Games are incredibly grateful for the opportunity to have been a part of this wonderful event! We look forward to future opportunities to connect with the amazing gamer and geek community in Ponce!

As some of you may know, I’m a big fan of board games, card games, and tabletop RPGs. But I wasn’t always into board games and tabletop games, except for Magic the Gathering(MTG); I’ve played most board games casually. That was until 2010 when the second edition of Betrayal at House on the Hill came out. A good friend brought the game to my house as an alternative since we always just played MTG. After playing a few stories, I became addicted to the board game. I got myself a copy, and from there, I started playing fewer trading card games and buying more and more board games. The year 2023 isn’t over yet, and here I am with my calendar marked for PAX Unplugged 2024. For those of you who don’t know, PAX Unplugged is one of the biggest tabletop gaming conventions in the world. This year, I was able to attend PAX Unplugged from December 1st to 3rd with my good friend from So Zetta Games, Kurigan560.

Puerto Rico Expo Anime: Natsumatsuri(September 2 -3, 2023) was an amazing experience! I was able to join the event thanks to Onix Fuente-Nevarez, he invited me to join him as a member of the “El Koki Otaku” team. We had the opportunity to work as press and interview some wonderful voice actors. Personally, I was thrilled to meet Adam McArthur, Kaiji Tang, and Ray Chase, and to hear about their work in the industry.

Adam McArthur, who is known for his role as Marco Diaz in Star vs. the Forces of Evil and his roles as Yuji Itadori in Jujutsu Kaisen, was a delight to interview. It was an honor to interview him, he shared some fascinating insights into the world of voice acting. It was also our honor to interview Kaiji Tang, who is known for his role as Guts from Berserk and his roles as Satoru Gojo in Jujutsu Kaisen. He has worked on numerous anime and video game projects, during the interview he was incredibly passionate, and I’m so thankful that I was able to ask him some questions about voice acting in the video games industry. Lastly, Ray Chase, who is perhaps best known for his role as Noctis in Final Fantasy XV and his role as Ryomen Sukuna in Jujutsu Kaise, was just the best! (Sorry your lunch got scheduled during the interview time) He had a wealth of knowledge about the industry, and he was happy to share his experiences with us. He also gave me a custom video voicing Alphen from Tales of Arise; I will treasure it forever.
