Some release date on new things of a Song of Ice and Fire TMG?
I am interested to see where GoT tabletop is going…
has been awesome getting live updates from GENCON, most excited about Clone Wars tabletop!
A Song of Ice and Fire commercial release date if possible!!
@dignity: Ever tried photosynthesising? No hard food ever 😉
ThankS for all of the great coverage. Is CMON running demos of Starcadia Quest? I’d love to learn more about that and see a demo.
There are a lot of frustrated Myth backers who would love to know if Ulisses has bought the Myth property. We are having a very difficult time getting any information from anyone.
I would love for someone to ask Weta why there are still kickstarter backers who have not yet received their games when it has been available at retail for months. And now they are releasing an expansion.
Looks like it was pretty amazing there.
Thanks for the coverage!
coverage has been excellent – you must be exhausted

If you can , check out Battlestar Galactica at booth 335
Love Tank museums! It has been a good GENCON update package!
Stupid crappy day at work made infinitely brighter. Going to devour this after dinner.
I’m spending my vacation following Gencon from home. Less crowded, about as many games. And beer allowed. Thanks for the competitions and brilliant reporting.
No Star Wars Legion?
No Mythic Games? 🙁
Never mind, I found it. ?
I wish I was there. Sigh. *rolls dice sadly in corner by himself.
Thanks for the coverage guys!
