We stopped in with Everything Epic Games who are the minds behind Big Trouble In Little China: The Board Game as well as a new Rambo game too!
This time around we have a prize for you guys. All you need is to comment below to win a Gen Con Goodie Bag!
any chance of game plays
Big Trouble looks really nice. Would love to see a gameplay vid if they are running demos.
More on Big Trouble, please. Any release date for the UK?
Really looking forward to big trouble! And a Rambo game? It’s like my childhood is being brought to life!
Fantastic. Cant wait for this to come out the figures look amazing.
show us the painted mini;s please
That guy is so enthusiastic! I want to play!!
please show us everything wort carrying
Can’t wait to try it. The narrative part of the game could be nice like the movie. Hope
I love the questing mechanic and the boards that go with them, that game should be so fun.
Would love to see a playthrough of the game since I am such a big fan of the film.
Looks briliant.
Big Trouble in Little China, classic film, hope the game comes even close!
Lots of great titles coming from these guys
Awesome coverage, guys – I’ve only ever imagined what exactly gencon looked like and you guys are bringing it to life for me – keep it up!
Rambo looks strange but Big Trouble in Little China looks interesting. I hope I can try this game
Darn..I have the jingle and then no sound. I’ll have to lip read the next four days 🙁
Rambo the Board Game you say….might have to pick that up.
Where did the painted minis go? I’d really like to see them
Love the look of the minis.
They are expanding fast! Game on on KS and 2 there… Hopefully not too fast!
Might be quite cool especially the Rambo one if tackled well.
hmmm can I resist ordering big trouble… I highly doubt it.
Interested in the game mechanics
A demo game post would be cool.
True that
I loved the Big trouble in little china movie when I was a kid
They are aiming for our childhood and our vallet 🙂
Beautiful minis! Will absolutely look more closely at this!
Went with the Deluxe pre-order, hopefully with a six demon bag ????
we need closeup of the minis
The Big Trouble in little China game looks gorgeous, you really have to do a video where you play it.
A Rambo game is also an interesting idea.
Reliving my childhood ! Epic film!
I haven’t seen the film for a long time, looks interesting
Like Jack Burton always says, you can’t win if you don’t comment!
Big Trouble is on my must have list, watched the movie so many times with my brother growing up :).
Big trouble looks cool.
I loved the little china movie when I was younger, but It seems to be everywhere nowadays. I wonder what brought this renewal in interest.
My check IS in the mail: I pre-ordered it already and am eagerly awaiting November for shipping. The figures looked larger than 28-35 mm, are they?
Loved the movie, interested to see how this turns out.
BT in little China is interesting…can you at bow make a let’s play?
I love that guy’s enthusiasm!
Still tempted to pick Big Trouble up! So many great game out there and still coming, i’m going to drown in carboard boxes!
That reminds me, I need to check out Big trouble in little China.
Might have to watch the film again. It’s been a long, long time…
If I had a magic wand…..
I would love for the Team to do a Let’s Play of Big Trouble in Little China with the person who does the voice in the BoW Hubs lead ins to do the story narration while the Team plays the game. To me, that would be Epic!
I have met Chris at previous Con and he is the kind a guy you just want to hang out with a throw back a few beers. His enthusiasm and jokes are super infectious and makes you feel at home right away.
Actually, who is the Voice of the BoW Hubs? She should be a Guest Presenter on the Weekender or, with her “no time to waste” speaking-speed, she could host a Hobby Night
Live and the BoW Team would be busy painting 10 times as many models in no time!
Big Trouble is on my xmas list!
Big Trouble is looking great! Can’t wait to see this for myself. Keep up the great work too guys.
Goodies for the goodies throne.
You had me at *Big Trouble In Little China*! & then you say *Rambo*? Oh Gods, need to start selling blood, probably even redundant organs!
Blaster was here… & won’t comment about selling the *other* bodily fluid [ooops, dammit, just did!]
Big Trouble in Little China – a classic movie I loved as a kid. The Chinese hells sound super cool. Great potential as a board game. Looks cool.
Everything looks pretty cool, some of my favorite memorys from 80s movies, pretty sure I had both on VHS once upon a time.
They make some really cool stuff!
Ughhhhhh I gotta come to Gen Con next year, so much to do.
Pretty excited for this one. Hopefully they have created a fun game system.
Not my thing but looks good.
Loved the Big Trouble in Little China movie. Would like to see a play through of the game.
+1 to this
Look Fun! One of my all time favorite movies.
Hmm chance for goodies hope to see you in person
Big Trouble In Little China: The Board Game? How did I not know about this already? Please do a demo of it.
I’ve got my BTILC game on preorder… and I’m impatiently waiting! 🙂
I would like to see a play through.
need closer pics of the big trouble minis!!!!
Maybe just have an interlocking John Carpenter Movie Game system so You can Mashup Halloween with Vampires with The Thing in The Fog.
Having to Lip sync Everything..
Snake Blisken travels through Chinatown during a foggy Halloween to a freezer warehouse to fight Vampires only to find an alien lifeform is also living there
Another request for a demo of BTiLC, have been on the fence for a bit now
My work PC doesnt go up that high on the volume -__- I’ll just look at the pretty pictures
Gonna have to watch Big trouble in little china so I know what I’m doing when I order this game.
Looks Interesting, but also possibly too fiddly.
Big Trouble the movie? Sorry but that didn’t do it for me. The boardgame however looks interesting; I hope it has more playability in it than some licensed games.
Rambo! Woohoo!!!
A demo game plz .
Yep, that would be nice
I am actually more interested in their kickstarter
Rambo is looking good, but I’m really excited for Big Trouble!
Epic 😀
Minis shown in other post seem to be more than all right.
Love Big Trouble, I was ready to preorder but the lack of demo game is the only reason why haven’t, looks great from what I have seen
Also vote for demo game.
So excited by big trouble. A must buy.
Big bag! (Trying not to sound ignorant, ’cause I’ve not really heard about Big Trouble in Little China..)
Big trouble in china is an awesome film. Loved it as a kid. Should give that a re-watch.
Games based on two of my fave films, one word…. EPIC!
BTiLC sounds like it’s going to be a ton of fun.
Big trouble looks really colorful and fun.
Big Trouble in Little China – so much John Carpenter 1980s awesome!
Now totally nostalgic for my student days of watching The Thing,
Assault on Precinct 13, They Live!, Dark Star, Angel Heart and The
Untouchables…
First Look at the Bin Trouble prototype… The large two- sided Board is
looking really epic!
(Whereas the first few photos of Resident Evil 2 I saw this morning
on http://www.brueckenkopf-online.de were really disappointing…)
The guy presenting did a good job – and thanks @deltagamegirl22 for
all the reporting.
I would also like to see some demo games. So many interesting things to see!
Big Trouble is one of my all time favorite movies.
Lol, loved Big Trouble in Little China, all that corny goodness. Then Rambo to boot. Heaven. lol
EPIC carrier bag.
Switch the standees to minis, and I am all in
I am in LOVE!
Never has a game company been so aptly named……RAMBO????!
Really wish we were there. Have fun everyone
Big trouble looks amazing. Hopefully it’s as tongue in cheek as the movie.
Great presentation.
Big Trouble is just screaming to get a Let’s Play.
One day I shall make it to Gencon in person. Until then these live blogs are great
If someone had told me they were making a game based on Big Trouble in Little China I’d have rolled my eyes at the ridiculousness of the concept….. but this looks, well, epic 😛
Where is the big rig?
yea for sure name brand is well picked, epic, big trouble in little china is also one of my loved fils, 80´s ftw.
also rambo omgs, and yes, please some how to play!!
That man is awesome in explaining what the goal of the game is. Very enthusiastic.
Need to get me some of this!
Nice looking miniatures, would love to see a play through of the game. (and the Rambo one too)
I love Big trouble in Little China
Big Trouble looks like it will be a hoot to play.
“The hell of halitosis” – Nice
Loved the film OMG there’s a game….
Gotta love those minis!
Lo Pan in a bag? Won’t be happy.
Looks cool
Let’s hope it plays as well as the film
When do they do a game with Snake Plisken in it?
Ooooh Metal Dawn looks really cool, or at least sounds like a neat idea mixing GI Joe with Terminator. Terminators are tough, watch out Joes! And now I want to order some Chinese takeout… the film “Big Trouble in ..” is great, the ending left a cliffhanger.
This is a new to add to the list of games I need to follow.
I’m squealing with joy over this.
This is something I’m looking forward to
I have a soft spot for Rambo 🙂
Big trouble looks like a really fun game
You know what ol’ Jack Burton always says at a time like this? If you’re not gonna give me a demo…can I at least get a copy of the game?
I liked the look of theor standin rambo models
Everyone needs Lo Pan Noodles for dish.
Big Trouble in Little China..Such a good movie. Hope the board game will be as good!
rambo
I love that my childhood movies are becoming boardgames!
Looks like a big year coming from EEG.

Hmmm YES Big trouble in little China

I’m totally intrigued about Rambo
I loved watching you guy’s unbag last years bag! I love the Gencon live blogs.

Would be awesome 🙂
I imagine there’s probably some interesting things in the GenCon 50 Goodie Bag.
Big Trouble looks great. Can’t wait to see more of it!
All over BTILC. Soooo many cool memories!
Oh and Rambo, Just take my money
Myself and a couple of my buddies are so looking forward to the Big Trouble game. It’s a fav in our circle.
Nostalgia fest!
I’m really keen to see the game behind the Big Trouble ip,
not so sure about the Rambo game, but it could be cool
Big Trouble looks very cool.
Epic Games having a Epic Gen Con.

Awesome stuff!

David Lo Pan style! Gotta get my hands on Big Trouble in Little China!! So much return to the 80’s in the gaming world of late. Love it! Any interest in doing a Stranger Things board game? If not, is anyone else out there developing that?
I like the look of Metall Dawn.
I hope it will be available at Essen.
Already have my BTILC deluxe version preordered. Can’t wait!
Heard this game is crazy good
This was lovely!
Great that I get to see all the shiny stuff even though I its a week later.

Epic Games are great works!
Gorgeous stuff!

Oh why or why GENCon is sooooo far!? This is really wet dream of every nerd..,
It would be great if that would be a travelling convention
good film for its time
The movie was fun, until I see demos, not interested.
I’m pretty sure they will record one soon
The movies are good, but I need to see demos before I’m interested.
Would love to see some let’s play of these.
Rambo game? Okay, I’m listening.
Great interview that guy would be great fun to play with
Really like the look of Big Trouble in little China.
