Please the Crowd of Red Republic's Arena Rex
Dawn stopped off to have a chat with Walker from Red Republic Games about all things Gladiator. Arena Rex is booming and they’re showing off their newest faction- the Greeks! There’s just something awesome about gaming in a Colloseum. I give it a thumbs up. (see what I did there?)

Any chance on getting some info on Darkage and Kingdom Death Monster
Hang on, I think I see your eyewatering orange shirts just up the hall…
Try to check out Minuteman Miniatures. They scan your head and put it on a miniature. Could be fun to torment warren with it.
A minor request. Hopefully the crew will be able to visit and report on some great but less known companies and vendors that are in GenCon. Don’t me wrong, I love getting info from the old standards, but how about some lesser know companies and games.

I wish I was there. Maybe next year. Thanks for the coverage guys.
Great work team. Make sure you get some sleep
Wish I could be there 🙂
How about some more on Battle of Pellenor Fields
Looks awesome! Need to get to Gen Con some day.
Anyone else have audio issues when playing the videos on a iPhone? Tabletop intro sounds fine but when the actual GenCon footage plays the sound stops?
So much fantastic looking stuff!
Day TWO down, sleep then repeat!
