Gen Con 2017 Live Blog: Day Two!
Join Ben, Justin, Dawn & Gianna as they head out to Indianapolis in the USA to cover Gen Con! Today is the second day and we’re all very excited to get back into the swing of things!
We are aware of the audio issues on some mobile devices.
The problem should be fixed going forward.
If you have a problem with audio on a video try watching it on a PC or a device like an iPad.

Taking A Look At The Miniatures From Freeblades
We are soon going to be talking with DGS Games about their wonderful Fantasy world of Freeblades.
However, before that we're going to show off some of the miniatures for you and their different factions in the gallery here to get you excited!
There's a prize up for grabs too! Have you played Freeblades and if so what do you think?
A Closer Look At Kettou From Table Forged
If you missed the video yesterday, make sure to go and check out the conversation about Kettou and Iron & Ale with Table Forged.
They have created a great looking game here with a Samurai theme, so comment and maybe you'll be able to walk away with a copy of it!
The Massive Gaming Hall @ Gen Con 2017
Here are just a few shots of how expansive the gaming hall is here at Gen Con. It is easily the size of Salute by itself and features all manner of gaming opportunities from board games and card games all the way through to miniatures games.
We'll have more from you on this area of the convention later today and throughout the weekend.

Are you guys going to get a vlog of a Star Wars Legion demo game? Very exciting news, and I couldn’t go 3 steps without being overwhelmed by shiny syndrome. I admire your restraint BoW crew 🙂
So. Many. Shinies!!
I would like to see just a article from Ben and Justin on their reactions to GenCon. It’s such a fantastic weekend. And I NEVER get to do everything I want to do in those 4 days. No matter how little sleep I get.
How does the L5R LCG look?
Fantastic Coverage – Many thanks team – wish I could be there too 🙂
Im watching all this a little out of order today as my friday was a little too busy, but I’ve my usual weekender watching time to fill today. i did managed to catch the live ffg thing on Facebook which has made me very excited.
Keep it up guys 🙂
You know guys you are doing an excellent show and all but you are going to make me bankrupt:)

Ready to see more Gencon
Anything from Catalyst about their upcoming Battletech release?
Relic knights please
Shadespire looks promising
I get the excitement for Legion, but I have a feeling it will sell millions but no one will play.
Great coverage!
Love all the coverage!
Whoah. Another massive load of stuff *cancels tomorrow’s early call*
I’m looking forward to Starfinder.
Loved day 2 🙂
Star Wars: Legion………. I may need new trousers.
Firefly looks awesome too, nice mixture of stealth and misbehavin’, looks really thematic. Would be nice to see the rest of the crew but one assumes there will be expansions planned.
Mythic game batman and joan will made my wallet so sad and empty inside.
Wow, great coverage, you got around to so many tables considering the size of the event. Keep it up Beasts team!
