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.

I had the chance to sit down with the crew of Arc Dream Publishing at Gen Con and we talked about everything Delta Green.  It’s long but there is a lot of good info in here if you are just starting out.

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.

James issthe fiction editor for Paizo, he is also the creative director for the Starfinder RPG releasing at Gen Con 2017.  In this interview we discuss Starfinder. We touch upon the character classes and how Paizo plans on making them feel futuristic without loosing their fantasy aspect.  We go on to talk about tech and how religion matures in Starfinder.  It was a lot of fun and I hope what we discussed doesn’t change too much while it’s on the drawing board.

I have to admit I was skeptical about Starfinder at first, but the more I hear the more I like it!

Oh man every time I talk with Phil Reed I get a ton of information.  We will be talking Moops, Car Wars,  OGRE, I hate Zombies and more. Oh they are making a sweet dice tower with lights!

I really like the way they are scaling Car Wars.  I think i will get the 4 player box first – how about you?

Thon is one of the newer miniature games on the market.  This is an interview and a one turn Game Demo.

Thon has a unique mechanic where initiative is determined by the rank of the troop.

The Guys from Megacon Games share with me Mercs 2.0 Banner Saga and a sneak peek at the next Myth product.

I really like the new Mercs book.  Banner Saga looks awesome and the next Myth product is, I think, going to be a refreshing change.
