Those of you that follow me know that the Gen Con Video Blitz is a relaunch of our canceled Season 8 Kickstarter. I knew I was going to fund pretty early on, but I didn’t expect to achieve it before Monday! So how did I know? I think, in part, it was because I already had some publicity from the  full season Kickstarter attempt.  The clincher was when I saw people pledging that I had never heard of. I knew that it was going to go all the way.  We still haven’t had everyone hop back on board yet from the previous project, and we are moving through stretch goals already!  While I am it it check this out:
Through Gamer Goggles Gen Con 2018 Video Blitz -- Kicktraq Mini

Not bad for twenty hours!

With that said the first stretch goal has already been met, which is the Road to Gen Con 2018.  The Road to Gen Con is my crazy way of communicating with people before the show. I did this a couple of years ago and I had a blast.  One of the first things I will do for the Road To Gen Con is create a landing page for it.  Then I will start reaching out to publishers for some inside information to promote them at Gen Con. There will be live Kickstarter videos on the topic of Gen Con – schedule coming soon.  The Road to Gen Con will also include the most complete miniature and RPG release I can muster.  No board games BGG has cornered the market on that one.

There are a lot of stretch goals to unlock and the rewards are awesome so don’t hesitate to check it out!

Thank you,

Onitama is a two player abstract game based on the complexity of a Martial Arts fight. With a random set up the players use their cards to move and outwit their opponent.  This wrestling match relies on the card players were dealt at the beginning of the game.

 

 

It is part of the Dice Tower Essentials line.

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!

At Origins 2016 I had a chance to catch up with my good friend Bryan Poe from Arcane Wonders.  We talked about Mage Wars Paladin and Siren.  Bryan may have leaked a few other things as well.

I do believe if you listen closely a couple of allusions can be heard.

Alliance Open 2015 033About a week ago I drove to Fort Wayne, Indiana for the Alliance Open House. This is primarily a trade show for retailers allowing them to meet with manufacturers, sit in on seminars, and engage other retailers. Since I’m a news and media guy I was coming in with curious expectations.  All of which I would soon find answers to.

Saturday

Alliance Open 2015 018The very first thing you get to do when you arrive is register and then play games.  Well, I spent as much time walking around and chatting with friends as I did gaming.  The first familiar face was Mike Webb, and then Tony Gulliotti, it wasn’t long before we were playing Dragon Tides.  Shortly after that I ran into Phil Reed and Rhea Friesen from Steve Jackson Games.  Rhea and I played Munchkin Gloom.  Wow, Munchkin Gloom is a unique experience.  Atlas did a great job with this.  I have never played Gloom and I want to know.  It’s like playing telephone with transparent cards that evolve. I spent  the rest of the night meandering and chatting with friends like Scott Morris and Aaron Brosman.

In this no quite a play through and not quite a review Matt talks about the best part of Sheriff of Nottingham (lying, bribing, and stretching the truth) while having some fun.  Sheriff of Nottingham is a bluffing game for the whole family.

 

 

I look forward to posting a family play through in he future.  Sherrriff of Nottingham is one of the few games where you can let your personality shine.
