Blogging At This Event:
Good Morning It Is Day 3!
Good Morning to you all! Are you ready for day 3? We are and Dawn gives you a hint of things to come today.
A Look Inside The New Mansion Of Madness
I just HAD to buy the new Mansion of Madness game from FFG yesterday and I cracked it open last night for a look. The app is pretty slick, complete with creepy ambient music to set the scene. Have a look at what's inside.
4Ground Debuts At Gen Con!
We find our friends from 4Ground amongst the sea of vendors. Dawn chats with Ben and he gives us a rundown of what they have brought from across the pond.
Spartan Is Running Halo Ground Fleet Demos
I tracked down the Halo Ground Fleet Demos table, and folks are LOVING it! Another awesome way people can connect to the exciting Halo universe that we've come to know and love from the video games.
Must Haves Terrain From Warsenal For Infinity
Warsenal has done it again this year and have brought all their amazing terrain to stage the perfect outpost for your Infinity Game. They're offering some great bundles here at the show too!
Operation Red Veil Is Here And Selling FAST!
While Gianna is filming Carlos' famous Infinity tell-all seminar, I figured I'd sneak up to the booth to grab some pics. The pile of Operation Red Veil Is quickly disappearing, so it's safe to say that the Infinity players are loving it.
Tiny EPIC Quest Heading To Kickstarter Later This Year From Gamelyn Games
I had a tiny chat with the folks from Gamelyn Games about their Tiny EPIC adventure games. These games are for 2-4 players and give players a Dungeon delving gaming experience with quests that plays out in roughly 30-45 min. They have a teaser box for their Tiny EPIC Quest game that will be heading to Kickstarter in the near future.
Kingdom Death Confirms Reprint Kickstarter Plans For This Year
I had a chance to chat with Adam from Kingdom Death this am and he confirmed the next step for the stunning boutique game will be a Kickstarter to fund Kingdom Death 1.4 Reprint. This will be the same game with just a couple minor tweaks in the rules and perhaps only a few KS new models. Until then, they have added new card art to a few of the existing sculpts- and don't worry, if you already have the sculpts and would like the card art, reach out to Kingdom Death and they will sort you out. They do not want existing supporters to feel slighted. When asked about expansions, Adam said they want to address the Reprint first as they continue to be flooded with requests for the game.
Academy Games Is Showing How Quickly You can Teach Tactics
Academy Games had a ton of people at their booth learning why the military loves their games for teaching the fundamentals of tactics. Their assortment of games feature historical scenarios and allow gamers to maneuver their forces around to press their advantage.
Members Spoke, Here is Bushido
You guys asked for it, here you go. We talk to the guys from Bushido.
Age Of Sigmar At Gen Con
I went past the GW booth (for the 900th time), and still no Andy to chat with. I will continue to keep an eye out. But in the meantime, here's a few pics of the goodies in their case.
"Sorry For The Delay. There Is a Human Body In Every Square Inch Of Space!"

Big Draw For Cthulhu Pandemic At Z-Man Games Booth
If you love Pandemic (who doesn't?), and you love Cthulhu, there's no reason to not be interested in Cthulhu Pandemic. There's not an empty table in their play area. Though another game of theirs caught my eye- Broadsides. It's a card based, pirate themed board game- and I do love my pirate stuff!
What's New Red Panda Miniatures?
We catch up with the mastermind behind the Wanders from Red Panda Miniatures.
Battle of Britain Hits Gen Con!
We have had several people ask about Plastic Soldier Company's new game Battle of Britain. So, we found their booth and we get a quick update.

We were able to get in a few moments at this popular booth to talk about the upcoming game Blood and Plunder!
Star Wars Is Being Played In Many Forms In The Demo Hall
The Demo Hall is full to the brim with people gaming in any way you can think of. Star Wars is being represented in many ways on its own. X-Wing, Imperial Assault, The Card Game and home brew rules- and those are just the ones I saw!
So Many Pretties In The Relic Knights Case
Soda Pop Miniatures had so many gorgeous painted minis in their cases! The Relic Knights were looking especially awesome so I squeezed my way up to the case for some pics.
You Better Bring Your Best Game, Guildball Is Waiting To Challenge You
So Dawn was at the top of her game today as she broke down the defense of the guys from Steamforged Games and got them to spill the beans. We now got an EXCLUSIVE!
Are You Not Entertained? Welcome To The Arena With Arena Rex
We find a crowded booth for Arena Rex from Red Republic Games and we find out what they have in store.
It’d be great if you could swing by the Dream Pod 9 (both 1321). They’ve said that they have their new plastic starter sets on display.
I’d love to see the new Heavy Gear stuff as well!
FFG have a new Imperial Assault add on coming, any chance of some photos?
They do not have anything for Imperial Assault here. 🙁
Soda Pop Minis and Conan from Monolith
Seconded please.
infinity seminar can’t wait.
kingdom death minis are jaw dropping ,in every way.
and yeah STAR WARS cosplay
I love the Kingdom Death figures, but they are so great I don’t think I could do them justice when I came to painting them.
Don’t forget about Infinity … the standard set by the studio is so unbelievably high you’ve got to wonder what mere mortals like us can do with these things.
Jordan Weisman, the creator of Battletech and Shadowrun is at the HareBrained Scheme’s Booth, might be a great interview. Booth #2329
Chomping at the bit to see the Infinity seminar. I started a Bakunin force and Carlos mentioned earlier in the year they would get some love near the end of it. Hoping we might hear some details…
Is River Horse there at GenCon? Any updates on the MLP Tails of Equestria?
Riverhorse is not here. 🙁
