This Con has been so crazy busy that we have been chasing John from Ninja Division / Soda Pop Miniature for the past three days and finally were able to corner him last night.

We had to visit with our friends from Everything Epic Games to talk about their awesome Indiana Jones-ish adventure game, Secrets of the Lost Tomb. While we were there, they also announced that they are currently working on a miniatures board game for Big Trouble In Little China! We got a sneak peek at the first few minis and they are looking sweet.
Fat Dragon Games Has Loads Of Cool Terrain
We had a nice chat with Tom from Fat Dragon Games about their awesome variety of terrain. They started off with papercraft terrain that looks absolutely amazing, and they've now transitioned over into 3D printable terrain. These sets still provide modular building capability for gamers at a relatively lower price point. They will be headed to Kickstarter again in the near future with even more goodies.
Anvil 8 Games Chats About Aetherium & Their New Card Game: Frontline No Komrades
We love seeing familiar faces at the cons and the guys from Anvil 8 Games are a perfect example. It's been great to see Aetherium really coming into its own. This Gen Con they're celebrating the recent launch of the latest addition to the world of Aetherium, House Ikaru. And if that wasn't enough, they've also launched a brand new card game, Frontline No Komrades, which looks to be a super fun and fast card game.
