Gen Con Trending A Full House! What Do You Want To See?
June 27, 2017 by deltagamegirl22
Gen Gon is incredible and this year will be no exception as they celebrate their 50th Anniversary - well, that and Justin and Ben will be there to experience all of the gaming goodness with us!
Last year there were 61,000 unique attendees, and they are trending well over for Gen Con 2017, in fact so much so that they may have to start capping badge sales in order to ensure an amazing attendee experience for gamers.
This will be an all time first for The Best Four Days In Gaming, as they have never had to cap four day or single day badges before.
Now's the time for us to start getting the magical list together. Are there particular games you'd like to see? Particular vendors? Any live streams?
What would you like to see from Gen Con this year?

Legend of the Five Rings LCG
This release is going to be massive. If you can try record the start of the tournament as traditionally the organisers will yell out ‘UTZ!’ and the players will respond with ‘BANZAI!’. This call and response is done three times in total and with around 700 hundred players for the opening tournament it should be pretty epic!
Wyrd games
I notice that the Fenrisian couple is wearing furs (although I imagine they are faux)…… What would Peta say ……….
Aren’t they a little short for……..
PETA would want to say a lot of things … but I somehow doubt these sons of Fenris would let them finish.
Heh ….no …no they wouldn’t *smirks
Peta would burn with the rest of the heretics, @beardragon14
if I can only have one then probably Kingdom death, if you guys get an interview with Adam then hugs all round for the team.
if I can ask for more then shadows of esteren , pretty please.
of coarse Harry if he’s on show, pretty sure Dawn will be doing that whether anyone asks or not 🙂 .
or even better blindside me with something new and unlooked for that blows my mind.
@emptinessisform Moi? Oh who am I kidding?….Damn skippy!!
Mythic Battles: Pantheon
And don’t forget that new game of theirs they’re kickstarting this year.
Oh yes! Joan of Arc!
Blood and Plunder and Infinity would be my main stops then Pathfinder
I would like to know where the beasts of war boot/room will be, or are you just going to be convention goers?
No booth or set room for us. We’ll be roving reporters. 🙂
Maybe you can get a copy of the Con*Quest Journals as a nice prize for any gamer. Actually, BoW should make and sell their own version.
Since the war games will mostly be covered I am sure, here is my list.
1) Steve Jackson Games – Port Royal — it is finally coming to the US in English Translation. Also, see if you cannot get any news of goings on around Car Wars 🙂
2) Catalyst Game Labs: They have a new D&D based on the Shadowrun Game Series. Also, can you get any news of what is going to happen with the future of BattleTech especially if we will have a brand new Introduction Box and/or Alpha Strike Box
3) KOSMOS has some great games, would love to see Imhotep: Eine neue Dynastie the expansion to Imhotep
4) Breaking Games : Their new game “Asking for Trobils!” Euro style Space Pirates game 🙂 They also have “The King’s Abbey” which is very much under rated strategy game set in the middle ages.
5) Wild West Exodus 2nd Edition, from Warcradle, is a game of gunslingers, lawmen, outlaws, mad scientists, and aliens!!!! They are supposed to be out of beta. Would love to know if/when we will see a KS
6) Fowers Games: You guys need to play Burgler Bros! and/or Fugitive
7) Weta Workshop — We need to see giant robots
8) Smash Up: Big in Japan — because it is Smash Up!
9) Atlas Games: Witches of the Revolution — Excellent Alt History Twist
10) Battle Hardened Games : 1750: Britain vs. France — Awesome war game of Generals
11) Founders of Gloomhaven — Because KS will blow up when it is finally released.
12) Cryptozoic Entertainment : Train Heist — There should finally be a demo
13) Daily Magic Games : 10 Minute Heist: The Wizard’s Tower — As the name says, fun quick 10min game
14) Gorilla Games : Battlestations: Second Edition – Battlestations is a tabletop starship simulator – a multi-map board game that simultaneously features ship-action in space AND the events on board the ships involved in the conflicts. It is also a roleplaying game in which your characters grow throughout campaigns, picking up experience points, upgrades, and new abilities.
The game rules are very simple but they allow for complex RPG-like imaginative choices like teleporting to an enemy ship, hacking their helm controls and steering their ship towards a black hole before ejecting yourself out the air lock. Inside the box is an infinity of alien worlds to explore, rickety spacecrafts to upgrade, and a rowdy crew of lifelong comrades to adventure with.
One player takes on the role of “the enemy”, and works against the other players who are cooperating with each other.
OH!! AND THEY will have 15ft long Battlestations for the Demo games 🙂
Wow!!! Awesome list!!!
Finally we have the proof, FEMALE Space marines exists! No more debate about that, to bad she doesn’t wear the highly priced boob-armour. MK VII of course.
When dos the Female Primarus space marine box come out?
Vendor Hall!
