I've never played the game, so I can't tell you alot about it.

However, the RPG schedule in the Gen Con guidebook lists Highlander
(by Thunder Castle Games) with two events:

The Amazon (Fri & Sat 8pm-Mid)
Quickening off the Port Bow (Fri & Sat 8am-Noon)

Well, it is a decent system (I did a bunch of playtesting on it). But, TCG
(thunder castle games) is being really, really slow in getting it out.
Partly due to Panzer-Davis stalling, and partly do to the fact that they
aren't run well. The game it done, and has been for over 6 months, but
if/when you'll see it in stores, I don't know.

Of course, I've got my laser print copy of it, so what do I care? :)
