Gen Con 2017 Live Blog: Day Two!

We are here for Day Two Of Gen Con and that means some great new videos and interviews with some of the vendors here and we're also hoping to jump out onto the street and show you a little of the city this takes place in.

With that in mind keep an eye on the videos for a chance to win some goodies.

We are soon going to be talking with DGS Games about their wonderful Fantasy world of Freeblades.

However, before that we're going to show off some of the miniatures for you and their different factions in the gallery here to get you excited!

There's a prize up for grabs too! Have you played Freeblades and if so what do you think?

DGS Games talked with us about the world of Freeblades which is a Fantasy world that you NEED to check out.

With that in mind we talk about how the game plays AND give you the chance to win a Starter Set of your choice from their world.

We stopped in to talk with Syrinscape about their sound and ambience app which helps add to your games, be they role-playing games or tabletop wargames.

It's great fun, as you can tell, listening to this and genuinely, I'm not lying when I said I had goosebumps when the ship took off.

Watch out for their Starfinder soundscape coming soon with the RPG by Paizo.

If you missed the video yesterday, make sure to go and check out the conversation about Kettou and Iron & Ale with Table Forged.

They have created a great looking game here with a Samurai theme, so comment and maybe you'll be able to walk away with a copy of it!

We had to stop in with the guys from Firelock Games to talk about Blood & Plunder and what they have planned going forward.

It's great to see that their Kickstarter went from strength to strength and they have plenty of great things lined up.

Here are just a few shots of how expansive the gaming hall is here at Gen Con. It is easily the size of Salute by itself and features all manner of gaming opportunities from board games and card games all the way through to miniatures games.

We'll have more from you on this area of the convention later today and throughout the weekend.

We sat down to talk about the game that intrigued us a little while back on the Weekender, WarTime, with WizKids.

This game has you playing quick and frantic games simulating the chaos and flurry of battle. It certainly sounds like a different way of playing. What do you think of the look of the game and the premise?

As well as WarTime we get a little chat about some of the other games they have here right now you might want to go and take a closer look at.

We've yet to capture it on video but we took a closer look at the Resident Evil game from Steamforged and stopped by to view some of the demos.

The game is set back during the retro days and the demo they are showing off is the demo from the game that appeared on Playstation!

You'll have a mission to undertake as the heroes from the Resident Evil game featuring some cool and classic looking models already.

We sit down with Mythic Games to talk about Joan Of Arc. As you'll have seen from yesterday some of the models for this game are looking superb.

We're not far off this game becoming a reality, in the grand scheme of things anyway, and it will be fun to see what approach people enjoy with this game.

Are you excited for Joan Of Arc?

Here at Gen Con folks are gaming pretty much around the clock. We had a look earlier at the gaming hall in all it's glory but I thought I'd zero in on some that caught my eye.

Academy Games do some awesome Historical products (you might remember the Viking Invasion game) but as well as that it's nice to see some BIG games being played around the miniatures front.

Little Wars is here and they have quite a few boards to their name for you to game on.

We got to talk with the designers behind Gale Force 9's new Firefly game, Browncoats & Brigands.

This seems like a great way to get invested with the world of Firefly and play out some favourite adventures.

You could also win a bundle of Gale Force 9 goodies by commenting on any of their videos over the weekend where you could win Star Trek: Ascendancy Expansions, A Con Exclusive Naked Mal & Four D&D Collectors Miniatures!

IDW lead us through their new Legend Of Korra game which is based within the Airbending world of Avatar.

Find out what the game is all about from the two designers of the game - and maybe it will end up in your collection.

We had a chat about more of what's coming for the world of Star Trek: Ascendancy on the tabletop with big new expansions for the game.

Up for grabs...

Star Trek: Ascendancy Expansions, A Con Exclusive Naked Mal & Four D&D Collectors Miniatures!

We sat down in our makeshift office to formulate some of our thoughts on the new Star Wars: Legion game that was announced by Fantasy Flight Games.

You can find our full impressions here: http://www.beastsofwar.com/star-wars-legion/coming-tabletop-ffg/

...make sure to let us know your thoughts below.

It looks like Baratheons are going to be next up on the list when it comes to models for A Song Of Ice & Fire by CMON.

A few of the test models are in the case and they also showed off some of the early sculpts for the siege equipment that was present during the Kickstarter.

We stopped in with the folks from Panda Cult to talk about their game Barnacle Bay, which sees you playing as cool animal adventurers battling it out in a hybrid skirmish/board game.

Dawn & Gianna love this game so it's no surprise we had to check this one out.

We talk with James from Paizo and learn all about what's great with Starfinder, their new Sci-Fi RPG set in the far future of their Fantasy world.

The game sounds amazing and features some brilliant thoughts on travel, exploration and more. You'll see some of the miniatures for this game by Ninja Division in the gallery below.

We also loved hearing about James' favourite encounter in Starfinder so far.

It's time for us to say goodbye from Gen Con Day Two! We have had a lot of fun and there's more set up for tomorrow so keep an eye out for more as the weekend continues.

We hope you've enjoyed today and check out Star Wars: Legion as well as the videos we have set for tomorrow.
