At Gen Con 50 I had the chance to sit down with the Dized team and discuss the inner workings of their app. This is a very promising app that will teach us all how to play faster.
This could become the best learning tool ever.
Clint and I talk about the newest piece of furniture the case of holding as I like to call it. It looks great!
Who want to pay me to cook special events so I can get three of these?
Ronnie and I talk about the great stuff going on with Kings of War, Walking Dead and Star Saga. I have pics on my facebook page. I hope to separate everything by company this year. Any way I am looking forward to the new Kings of War game.
I hope this king lives for a long long time.
I caught up with Jodi Black from Pinnacle Entertainment. We talk about the box sets, Deadlands anniversary edition, and the future.
Thank You Jodi, it’s always fun.
I caught up with Mara from Greater Than Games, and we talked about Sentinels of the Multiverse RPG, Fate of the Elder Gods, Spirit Island Lazer Riders and more.
I remember when Greater Than Games was only Sentinels of the Multiverse, they have grown so much. They have truly transformed their mold.
I caught up with part of the Hewn (Michael) team at Gen Con. Hewn is coming to kickstarter and it is going to be a tactical game of bluffing, bidding and combat against other players and an A.I. It sounds amazing.
This is one of those kickstarters I can’t wait for.
BattleTech: Technical Readout: Succession Wars [$29.99]
On February 5, 2439, the Mackie obliterated all opposition during its first combat trial, ushering in a new era of warfare. The BattleMech—King of the Battlefield—was born. BattleMechs reached their pinnacle during the golden age of the Star League. The fall of the Star League and the Succession Wars that raged for centuries afterward took their toll and by the Fourth Succession War, the technology employed on the battlefields was a mere shadow of what it once was. However, the discovery of the Helm Memory Core unlocked the technological potential to develop new BattleMechs and experimental technologies for the first time in centuries.
Technical Readout: Succession Wars is the perfect “first Technical Readout” companion to the BattleMech Manual. Combining the ’Mechs previously found in Technical Readout: 3039, Technical Readout: 3050 Upgrade, Technical Readout: 3058 Upgrade, and Technical Readout: 3075, this volume features some of the most common ’Mechs from the Age of War to the Succession Wars. Each machine is illustrated in detail, and accompanied by a description of its history, capabilities, game stats, along with their most famous pilots.
Plus some surprises!
