Borderlands Mr. Torgues Arena of Badassery is an official tabletop companion to the best-selling videogame franchise, Borderlands by Gearbox Software. The first game in the looter-shooter genre, Arena of Badassery brings all the features and mechanics from the game to the tabletop. Fans of the franchise will feel right at home in this tabletop rendition. The series is known for its dark, dry humor, and this game is too. Battle with your friends against waves of wacky enemies in fun exciting adventures. Collect loot and gain abilities and skills. When you finish with the core content, created your own missions and take over Pandora. Borderlands was my first M rated game, and has been a lifelong goal to work on. Big thanks to Gearbox Software, 2K Games, Embracer group, and Monster Fight Club for the opportunity.
