The Convention Experience is Live on Kickstarter

Featured, Gen Con 2014 Comments Off

I am proud to announce that our Kickstarter project is live! The project is all about what it means to attend a convention on a media level as well as an attendee. Which is really pretty loaded. But it is really so much more than those simple words. The project reflects who we are at Through Gamer Goggles.

It will go beyond just footage of the convention and create personal experiences of backers. It took me quite a bit of time to figure out a way that I could give this project back to those who support it with a little more meaning.

About two years ago I had the opportunity to sit down with Tom Meier at Origins Game Fair. In that interview I had my first chance to take a look at the game Freeblades. You can learn just about everything you need to know about the company and the game in this video. The most important and appealing information for me is the fact that their system has the same rules base from role playing to skirmish to a large scale squad based game.

Hey Friends,

Real soon we are going to launch our Kickstarter project the Convention Experience. While most of the details will be brought to you by the project I wanted to take some time and share with you why this is personal to me. Sometimes I feel that the blog is too impersonal and you don’t get to see how passionate I am. That is something that bothers me. This is my opportunity to share something with you that goes beyond mere coverage and start to make the change.

When I was challenged to start this blog by my friend, Ryan Hale, it was intended that the coverage was going to be news, reviews and the blending of real life with gaming. I think I’ve had some great successes and that I am still trying to find my footing in some areas. With almost 300 YouTube videos published it is clear where I’ve succeeded. But I feel a need to do more, I am going to return the original vision and add more real life to the blog. I really can’t think of a better place to start than Gen Con.

VivaJava: The Dice Game

VivaJava: The Dice Game

$30.00

Just like in the original VivaJava board game, in VivaJava Dice, players take on the roles of employees at the VivaJava CoffeeCo., scouring the globe for the best beans to keep the company on top while trying to keep themselves one step ahead of the rest of the executives.

VivaJava Dice puts a quick, new twist on the crucial decision of the game: the choice between blending beans or research. Players may now use the dice in their pool to blend – using the beans to create a best-seller for quick points, then deciding whether to press their luck in subsequent rounds for bigger points but fewer dice as the blends degrade. Or they can choose to research, which involves using their valuable beans to gain an ever-changing variety of dice-manipulating abilities, new ways to score, and paths that lead to aiding a competitor for a later payoff or hindering that competitor for immediate gratification. VivaJava Dice also offers a unique system of cooperative dice-rolling that can help you rise to the top, but at the price of someone else riding your coattails.

From the Myth project update

We also plan to launch MegaCon Games next KS during the month of March. It is called MERCS: Recon. It is a fully cooperative game in the MERCS world. The game will launch with game rules and how to play videos. It has been ready for a bit now, but we wanted to start shipping Myth before we launched it. Every delay in shipping pushed Recon back further and tested our patience more.
