gencon2016We are back from Gen Con, bearing many stories and more importantly, loot! Because so many of us went to Gen Con, this double length episode features 3 round table discussions. Learn about True Dungeon, new games, crafting workshops, meetups, and more!

Shout Outs

  • True Dungeon: Not quite LARPing, definitely not tabletop dungeon crawling.
  • Bloodborne Card Game: Based on the video game – a semi-cooperative/competitive monster hunting game.
  • God Hates Charades: It’s like charades but with filthy minded cards.
  • Red Dragon Inn: A game about fantasy adventurers out drinking each other at a tavern.
  • Escape the Booth: An escape room and tabletop game
  • Battle of Hogwarts: Not out yet, but sounds quite fun for all Harry Potter fans.
  • Konflikt 47: A weird World War 2 skirmish game based on the Bolt Action system from Warlord Games.
  • Dragonstone Mine:A Kickstarted board game that looks like fun.
  • Dominion: Empires: A new expansion for Dominions that offers new mechanics and more advanced gameplay.

Synopsis: The first Red Markets campaign is done, so we had to talk about it. Caleb, Aaron, Tom, David, and I talk about the concept for the campaign, how we came up with our characters, and what worked and didn’t work. Find out what rules changed in the game as a result of this campaign, what was unexpected and what our favorite moments were. It was a fun and lengthy discussion, so no shout outs or anything else with this episode. See you at Gen Con!
