Have fun guys, and please if you can manage it get an interview with Adam from KD:M!
I second this. in fact don’t let him leave without promising to come to Ireland for a BoW KD:M week.
Im wondering if Justins beard loss is to prevent another beard intermingling like at games expo 😉
Just have fun and don’t overload!
Hoping to be there in 2 years time.
Star Wars Legions – tell us everything!
For some reason I’m not getting any sound!
Wow never been, but check out the map, it fills the convention center, the football stadium and the surrounding hotels What an event, have fun folks!
And so it begins. Good luck, BoW team! Can’t wait for the great coverage!
Looking forward to the coverage, good luck over there! 🙂
Did you take Warren’s trolley? I think you might need it!
Keep an eye out to see if anyone is advertising Myth Journeyman. We know megacon was selling the IP and want to know who snatched it!
Great coverage of the show keep it up. Cant wait for more from the show.
I have conan from Monolith and I try to explain myself that I don’t need Batman.
I tried to riddle myself the same thing, but it’s not working.
Find FFG, have them talk Star Wars Legion!
I don’t think I’ve ever enjoyed a show that I’m not at as much as this. It’s been manic for the last few hours lol
Im so jealous, i think i may be stuck to this blog for the next few days!!
Some great stuff.
If you could swing by Catalyst Games and get a chat about the new Battletech box set, and the new minis, I would be happy.
And Marie-Claude never ceases to amaze with her costumes. She always looks so gorgeous.
I would like to follow the guys but I’ve got no sound other than the intro music. Neither here nor on Facebook.
Oh well, I’ll go painting stuff…
Please show Aristeia.
BoW Coverage; The Next Best Thing To Being There!
I heard FFG is doing a table top wargame based in star wars… anything else from that?
so wanting to go one sometime
you guys need to hit Café Patachou, best breakfast place close to gencon
Hey Gianna, as I asked and you said yes yes, FFG stand Star Wars 28m Wargame, we now know its coming so details please.
Another vote here for Kingdom Death!
I’m gonna have to get myself to that show sometime in the next couple of years..
PSC Games say they have some announcements about future projects if you get a chance to visit them
I’m not jealous….I’m really not…….dammit there’s something in my eye. 🙁
Are Catalyst at the show this year? If so can you find out their plans for Battletech and Shadowrun? Anything shiny on the horizon?
Thanks for the coverage guys and have a great time!
Whoa best weekend of the year, gaming news all day 😀
@warzan is it an idea to make a gencon playlist for all the video’s you guys are making? Would be a great replacement for the weekender 😀
I NEED that Joan of Arc Dragon – heck – 15mm? That Dragon would be fine as a 28mm beastie – and I love the Ouroborous nod with it almost eating it’s own tail. Beautiful mini.
And there’s a little part of me wants to get that My Little Pony RPG. Don’t tell anyone!
In another universe were I had a wife that was way more indulgent of my gaming habit (she plays, but I am over the top some times) that Beholder! would be sitting at my entry way as soon as you walked into my house and turned on the lights!
Even if you cannot get the Monster Books, the Monster Bookmarks can be used anywhere and they are great! I own two.
More from Games & Gears please!!!!!!!!!!
The Dragon For Joan of Arc is now the background wall paper for my PC! They should call it Epic 15mm
A few people have requested checking out FFG but no one has mentioned the new fourth edition of Twilight Imperium! Get on it lads!
Fantastic coverage! Thanks so much!!
Love this! Wish I was with you guys.
Looking forward to watching all the coverage. Look for Crocodile Games if he is there and the 4Ground guys too.
Looks crazy there
Hope you guys have a blast at gen con .
So when does the competition begin to win the contents of Justin’s suitcase?
Ewww… no… not that one, the OTHER suitcase with all the Gencon goodies in!

Joan of Arc looks incredible, just incredible. Between Monolith and Mythic I might have to get a second mortgage soon.
