Drakerys is a miniatures game From Don’t Panic Games. This game demo shows you the basics using the two player starter. It is my opinion that this is the hidden gem of Gen Con. I’m so glad Derek Osbourne pointed it out to me.

I truly believe in the time initiative mechanic they have built, I felt it gave the miniatures game a real time feel.

James issthe fiction editor for Paizo, he is also the creative director for the Starfinder RPG releasing at Gen Con 2017. In this interview we discuss Starfinder. We touch upon the character classes and how Paizo plans on making them feel futuristic without loosing their fantasy aspect. We go on to talk about tech and how religion matures in Starfinder. It was a lot of fun and I hope what we discussed doesn’t change too much while it’s on the drawing board.

I have to admit I was skeptical about Starfinder at first, but the more I hear the more I like it!
