You guys are gonna have an awesome weekend! 😀
Nice! Have a good Con guys!
I’ll be following you from here. Very curious about the new game from Fel Barros with Lang. And the upcoming expansions for A Song of Ice and Fire.
Maybe if you get a chance to have a look at Lord and Lands Demo game which should be 6mm fantasy. @brennon might be interested as well
Watch out for crazy, cowardly, SJWs! This guy got attacked because of his videos. That’s a great start to GenCon. Look after each other out there dudes.

His attacker has been identified. Best to avoid him.

To be frank, the person attacked should not have been at Gencon as he has been banned from MtG events for being a known harasser. That of course doesn’t excuse the violence towards him, when I think simply the guy should not be there any way.
It’s not just a mtg event the guy has every right to be there unless he is banned by gencon or the indiana convention centre. Is the person assaulted pleasant, that’s down to your own personal opinion. does he have a right to be there, well as the footage and assault happened in Indianapolis not the convention centre anyway, hell yeah.
have fun! 🙂
Gaz is in the crew, fantastic. Now don’t let me down mate, I want to see many, many shiny things!!!
Have fun everyone!
Home someone can find out when Steve Jackson games is releasing the Ogre Battle Box
If you get be booth 2315-18 at Starling Games, my friend Tim has his first Boardgame out called ‘Archmage’ .. A cool thematic Euro-style game .. so proud of his achievement. Games been years in the making. The game is crazy good.
Can’t help but be proud when a friend achieves a life-long dream.
Looking forward to your Gen con coverage .. so jealous lol.
Great stuff ya’ll have a great time! Look forward to living vicariously through your coverage ?
Some RPG stuff I would love for you guys to check out
Shadows of Esteren booth #1929 ( amazing RPG with jaw dropping art)
Delta Green RPG by Arc Dream Publishing booth #1523(It’s Delta F’n Green nuff said)
Goodman Games booth #117
That’s all I got unless you can pull off a miracle abd talk to Steve Jackson about Fantasy Trip, Ogre and what’s up with Car Wars lol
so how many BoW workers do you need to change a tyre guys ?
Its definitely more than five, when you car doesn’t have a spare tire, the space saver foam fails to seal and it ends up needing to be towed to a tire place to be changed. But we got there and made up the time to boot 🙂
Answer- yet to be determined. Lol. To be fair, there was no spare! 🙂
Great stuff, good to see a majority of retail games as opposed to flashy kickstarters so far. The best coverage as always.
Great running into you guys again
My son, his GF and our grand daughter are there
Have a good time guys. Catalyst game labs have the new box set for battletech can you check out the minis?
Would love to see the Batteltech stuff and here what’s to come now that the lawsuit is settled
