Upper Deck has an AWESOME booth this year! They put gamers in the jungle for the release of their Predator Card Game. We will definitely have to grab a demo sometime in the next few days and I'm so hoping to see some killer Predator cosplay!

After seeing the booth for Wyrd, I cannot wait to have a chat with them! There's something magical about the dark and crazy terrain you can use for Malifaux...

Victory With The Malifaux 2 Player Starter Set

4 Comments

Gianna and I just got to play a game of Malifaux using the 2 player starter set. It was really well balanced, with fun abilities for both sides- the Guild & Neverborn. The great points for me was having an abbreviated set of rules available as well as everything you need to play in the box - tape measurers and all!

The fate decks were great too, as they have some explanations on them to serve as handy reminders - like the difference between the black & red jokers and whether cards register weak, moderate or severe damage.

And then there was my favorite part of the game...winning! Sorry Gianna. 😉

Games Workshop Has Landed!

Contrary to the rumors circulating, GW is in fact here. Their booth is very unassuming, and there's no signage, but they are here selling Age of Sigmar. We will try to grab a chat in the next few days.

Age of Sigmar Stand Getting Lots of Attention

13 Comments

Clear on the other side of the exhibition hall, we found a GW rep with an Age of Sigmar stand! Very friendly and chatting it up with gamers. They have a nice display as well as the sprues laid out for people to have a look. Well done, GW. 🙂

The hustle & bustle of the convention is like no other. Between gaming and people watching, it can be difficult to decide what to do- but I can think of worse decisions. 🙂

A New Expansion On The Way - Mice & Birds?! I'm In, Well Done Plaid Hat!

Mice & Mystics from Plaid Hat Games couldn't be any cuter! They had me at creatures, but after seeing how adorable the minis are, I'm hooked! Then they added Tail Feathers for fantastic birds. How do you choose?

Rum & Bones Pirates Off The Port Bow!

CMON's Rum & Bones looks very irresistible displayed on the beautiful show piece for the convention. Sitting on top of a treasure trunk, 2 ships are facing off in an epic battle on the high seas.

Did you managed to back this on Kickstarter?

Kromaster Arena & Kromaster Quest From Japanime

There was some interest in Japanime, so we ran by their booth to have a look. They were excited to announce that in addition to their Kromaster Arena game, they'll soon have another variety available with Kromaster Quest.

Are you a fan of this rather cute and chibi looking game?

It's a Beautiful Day For Gaming & Cosplay

1 Comment

Indianapolis is coming to life as the gamers are making their way into the convention center. This morning we will be filming the Covus Belli 10th Anniversary seminar, which should be great! Today is also the classic costume parade in the afternoon, so I expect we'll see a whole lot more from the cosplay individuals.

Are the rumours of GW getting turned back by customs due to working visa issues true?

This is much easier to do at the US border than it might appear – the custom agents are particular about trade shows since the information is often given out that working a trade show is not actually working in the US; it would fall under the business visitor visa – (conference) which is virtually the same as a Holiday Visitor Visa However, if you mention that you will be selling product at the event, you need to have applied for a Business Visitor Visa (sales/selling) or you will be denied entry (though I am highly suspect that anyone will… Read more »

Such a trifling thing to make big deal about. Sad too since GW was making an effort to engage with the public.

Assuming this is true, then the fault is all with GW. You can’t go to work in the US without the right visa.

Some of the US guys weekend might have been made by that – but really it is the sort of story you can’t make up, I would be angry if I where one of the UK peons

Maybe one of the UK peons told the customs guys about the visas to avoid demoing AoS… 😛
