I am looking forward to hearing more about the Obsidian deal, because holy shit can those guys write a good RPG.

How busy was the Wiz Kids booth? They were turning people away at 1:30pm because they just had sold enough for the day. Fun with limited quantities!

Seriously, the sheer push for some of these first day products--like the cloaked ship molds for Star Trek Attack Wing--is just nuts.

Tried to get a pic of the Indie Press Revolution--FATE and all that--and it was a mob! I'll try again in a bit.

Chris Avellone is one of the best video game RPG writers in the business. I mean Planescape: Torment and Knights of the Old Republic II are brilliant (even if KotORII was rushed to release and could have been better).

I'm looking forward to both Tides of Numenera and whatever Pathfinder game they release, especially if Avellone gets attached the Pathfinder one as well.

So yeah. What you said.

There is a serious lack of updates...

FEED ME SEYMOUR!

Incoming....

I have a dice tray from Wyrmwood, and though it's a little on the small side for my tastes, they're nice-looking and well made. Good for games and really good for Yahtzee as a matter of fact.

Monte Cook Games makes some pretty stuff. They're in the very back of the Exhibit Hall, and the booth wasn't swarmed, but several people commented on just how pretty the stuff for Numenera and the Strange was. Here are some shots of their new The Strange RPG and the booth.








Here's the inside of the Doomtown Deluxe Edition, by request. Seriously nice game components:



OK, this might seem cozy now, but think of hundreds of gamers flopping on these things over the next 4 days. Cue the HazMat crew:



I grabbed some Traveller dice for my next campaign from the Gamescience booth. Lou Zocchi had stepped out, so I'll swing back by:




So Catalyst was just giving away nice Quick-Stars for their games Cosmic Patrol, Shadowrun, and Valiant Universe. Nice idea, and a really nice booth.





This. This is all Mayfair Games demo space. And that's not even all of it. When I talk about booths like Fantast Flight and Mayfair dominating parts of the Exhibit Hall, this is part of what I mean:



The D&D space might not be too fancy this year, but they're definitely getting some folks through some demos. Most everything is sold out:



You know, I think part of the reason there's not too much of a line by the WotC bazaar is that multiple booths are selling the 5e PHB. No exclusivity here!

Having some upload issues on the wifi here, so will post more from home base.

Hey if you have a chance stop by the Columbia Games booth and let me know how their new Harnworld looks. If you talk to Tom Dhlagheish let him know I sent you.

One more on the way out the door--it seems like Gen Con has cut out some of the more pervy stuff, especially some of the more hardcore, shall we say, anime booths? However, that doesn't mean there's not some stuff that seems to attract a certain....creeper clientele (catpee and all). Now, the people in this photo didn't seem creepy, and I'm sure they're very nice, but man, I'm glad Gen Con seems to be working to limit some of these booths at what is supposed to be a gaming convention. There was some pretty hardcore stuff on the floor last year. Some non-gaming booths are cool, but there's been a worry by some attendees they'd take over entirely.





So....there's that.

Back soon with more gaming stuff!

Haha, I was just going to post a request for a fly-by of CGI as well. =)

My friend picked up a HarnWorld 3ed binder for me (only $25) today, can't wait to see it on Monday.  I so wanted to go, I'd love to meet the CGI crew.

I wonder what else they have on sale there.  Maybe Orbaal, I guess, but I have that coming through on HQ subscription so I didn't ask my friend to pick that up.

Oh, any of the funky DCC dice anywhere?  If so I may have to ask my friend to pick up some -- they are a pain to find around here.

And Armada -- yeah, I'm going to try VERY hard to resist.

Will see what I can do for Harn.

DCC funky dice? Sure! Try Koplow (1123) and Gamescience (1503)

Thanks!  I'll send a note to my friend and ask him to pick up some for me.  Also thanks for trying to get by CGI.

Quote from: Ladybird;779618I really like those dungeon morph dice.



So what they want to tell us is, they can hire girls, not that they know game design. Boring.

Or that their game is so exciting that it cause people to spontaneously break out into dance. :cool:

Interested to see if they break 50K attendance this year.

Quote from: Zachary The First;779622Artisan Dice makes some absolutely incredible wooden dice, but also make some out of other materials, including alligator bone! They aren't cheap, but they're beautiful.

These are amazing.
