At Gen Con I finally had the chance to meet with Jonathan Nelson of AAW. We chatted about Snow White – not the Disney version. One amazing thing I learned about this product is it has rules for love. How sweet is that.
I look froward to reviewing this book soon.
Gen Con 2016 Coverage 8: Arcane Wonders Speechless Demo
Speechless is the new party game from Arcane Wonders. It’s for 3 to 8 players and you act out 6 words in a minute and a half while others secretly give their best guess.
My words can’t describe what you’ll watch.
It’s a blast!

Gen Con 2016 Coverage 6:Words With Loren Coleman of Catalyst Game Labs
Loren and I chat about the house of Kurita. Plus some of the other new things they are about to unroll. He also hints what the Kurita Combat manual is about. Plus he tells us about the campaign operations manual – it’s plug n play! He also explains some of the mechanics that set the new Valiant deck builder apart from other card games.
Thanks Loren, It’s always fun talking with you.
Gen Con 2016 Coverage: Halo Ground Command from Spartan Games
I managed to catch up with the game designer (Derek) behind the new game HALO Ground Command. He ran me through a turn and that was all I needed to see that the game is smooth. HALO Ground Command features a reaction system that puts every model on what most games call overwatch. It’s a pretty good mechanic and it really helps capture the feeling of playing the video game.
Gen Con 2016 Coverage 1: Blood and Plunder
At Gen Con I hooked up with Firelock Games to chat about Blood and Plunder. Blood and Plunder is a historical game set during the height of pirates plundering the coastline. All I have to say is beautiful models plus boarding rules has to make for a good time.
There frigates are amazing.
Gen Con Countdown T-3 Dropfleet Commander
This one is a little bit unusual, the game will not be at Gen Con for sale. What! Whoa! Let’s back up. Dropfleet Commander was kickstarted by Hawk Wargames, the makers of Dropzone Commander, and it was a huge success. Of course it was, Dropzone Commander has a great community, one of the best, plus Hawk Wargames doesn’t seem to make mistakes. I mean they put out great models, have good rules and they love their community even if they did make mistakes major mistakes they’d be forgiven. With that kind of support they shouldn’t have been surprised by the success – they were.
