I stopped by IDW at Origins Game Fair and played Purrrlock Holmes. A race of deduction against time and Purriarty.

After playing Purrrlock Holmes once I can say that there is a certain charm to it that many people will find appealing.  I can easily see parents playing Purrrlock Holmes with there families.

I caught up with Will Hungerford of Privateer Press to talk about Company of Iron! What small and medium bases only Oh my! This is the first time the box has been seen in public.

I am super excited for Company of Iron! It might be the best way to introduce new players into the world of Warmachine and Hordes. I hope to make it to Gen Con 50 to play a game or a place in Fort Wayne shortly after.

So I caught up with Hawk Wargames at Origins 2017. We spoke about Dropzone of course. But we also talked about some of their plans for gaming at cons.  Good stuff inside.

 

I really like the direction they are moving the “approved” play in – it means I will get some more players in the are.

Dom from Cubicle 7 graced my presence while at Gen Con and we talked about Dalek Dice, Time Crash (their DR WHO card game), Lord of the Rings 5E, and the cover of the DR Who rule book – sort of.

Dom this interview was a lot of fun – thank you.

This is just insane!

Gen Con Approaching Badge Sellout for Historic 50th Convention

INDIANAPOLIS (June 23, 2017) Gen Con, the largest and longest running hobby gaming convention in North America, will begin to cap 2017 badge sales if current trends hold. The company recommends that interested attendees purchase 4-Day and Single Day badges soon to guarantee entry to Gen Con 50. Those interested can purchase badges at gencon.com while supplies last.

“Gen Con has prepared to host the largest convention in its 50-year history,” said Adrian Swartout, CEO of Gen Con. “I would like to thank all the attendees who have decided to celebrate this historic year with us. To continue providing the best attendee experience, we have decided to carefully control badge sales, and we will begin capping badges when we reach our internal attendance estimates.”
The convention has capped Trade Day and other individual badge types previously in Indianapolis, but has never limited 4-Day or Single Day badge sales.

“Gen Con 50 is the 15th year the convention has been hosted in Indy. With record-setting attendance and continued expansion into Lucas Oil Stadium, this year’s show will surely surpass last year’s $71 million in economic impact for Central Indiana,” said Leonard Hoops, President & CEO of Visit Indy.

Gen Con 50 will take place August 17-20, 2017 in the Indiana Convention Center, at Lucas Oil Stadium, and at participating hotels. The convention will feature more than 500 exhibitors, more than 17,000 events, and an exclusive concert from Grammy-winning recording artist They Might Be Giants.
