I really don’t know where to start.  Ronnie is such a character maybe we should start with him.  It’s short but it’s all the time he had on Sunday.

What did you catch?  Blaine is going on an adventure.  At Mantic Saturday I heard rumors about Dungeon Saga in Space, and a Kings of War skirmish game.  I really can’t wait for that.

At Gen Gen Con Kevin and I chatted about Robotech Tactics, Rifts and  all things Palladium.  Kevin answers some good questions in here that are from Ben Parker, Jorel Levenson, Marnie Jefferson, Matt Trotta, Graham Bailey,  Oscar Mardones Schopflin, and Dave Knighthawk. Thanks guys.

It’s always a good talk when I get to sit down with Kevin.  I managed to ease drop a bit and while I can’t tell you what I heard I can affirm the plans for Robotech Tactics and Rifts are just out of this world.

 

The Drake is only about 50 pieces, but it seems like two hundred.

Jeff Combos of Exile Game Studio give me an introduction to Hollow Earth.  I Think of it as Journey to the center of the Earth,  X-men, and Indiana Jones all worked into one great story.

The setting of Hollow Earth sounds amazing.  I really can’t wait to find out how the mechanics are unique.

This was one of my more interesting interviews at Gen Con this year.

A demo of the Realm Works product from Lone Wolf.  They demonstrate the features using an example from the Emerald Spire for Pathfinder, a future release.  What I like about this is the fact that you can do a fog of war type of game for your party.  More importantly is the fact that you double check your work before revealing it to the party.

This will be ideal for some many gae groups it’s not funny. Where I think it will see a lot of use is in remote games.

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.
