While At Gen Con 50, I had the chance to experience Hot Box Pizza, the makers of the Official Gen Con Pizza, and I have to let you know about it.

So the next day I tried to get to the downtown location, but I just didn’t have enough time between interviews. On day three, I decided I would grab it on Georgia Street amidst the hustle and bustle of the food trucks.

I had the pleasure of sitting down for lunch at Harry and Izzy’s for lunch the first day of Gen Con 50.  This wasn’t my first visit, my prior visit was in 2010 I believe, and is one of my favorite dining experiences ever. The time I spent there with my wife, Lisa, has made me want to return ever since. Sadly, I ate alone on this adventure.

It was no surprise that I was greeted cheerfully and quickly.  The hostess sat me in the back, away from the street. It was nice and could easily have been romantic if it had been a date. The server greeted me promptly, but she seemed a little nervous – it turned out I was her first customer out of training. She was a blast, but asked to keep her name out of the review. She took care of my order, just as expected, and then we had a great conversation about Gen Con before my meal came.

I had fun loosing.  This scenario has a ton of replay ability.

Demo of Song of Fire and Ice miniatures game from CMoN. Song of Fire and ice is set in the Game Of Thrones world setting.

My initial scoop is that this demo is too small because Song of Fire and Ice is a large scale war game.  I do believe that the demo is good enough to give you a glimpse of the mechanics and the speed of play.

Complete game Demo of Shadow Run Encounters from Catalyst Game Labs. It’s a push your luck dice game where running is a mechanic. Be careful though it can have a price.

I’m a fan of push your luck games, this one has a lot of appeal because of  some extra mechanics.
