I caught up with Erik Bauer of Gaming Paper at Gen Con 50. We talked about paper and the the future of Mega dungeon and the potential for Starfinder.
Any one else looking forward to the vinyl mats?
About a week ago I received the following email.

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.
In this interview with Bryan Steele and Dave Taylor and we talk about Dark Age And Wrath of Kings. We spend a good bit of time talking about the tournament system.
Check back soon to see the Gen Con album or hit my Facebook page later today.
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.
“What’s that noise?”
All the warriors lifted there ear.
Run! Cried the Commander, “Gen Con is upon us!”
“Shall we crack open the Kegs Sir?” One Shouted with great Cheer.
“No, not until the die has been rolled,” he belched.
A cloud of dust rose over the land as they rushed to Indianapolis for great games and companionship.
Matt takes his first look at Spurs from Mr B Games. Sean is a fan of the RPG Boothill so I think I know where this is going. It’s a western where players assume the role of a character and mine for gold, but there are all kinds of factors like gunfights that are going to be exposed.
I can’t wait to play this game. This will be up soon.
Duncan Molloy is the lead game designer for Osprey Publishing. I caught him at Origins to talk about some of their newest games. They Come Unseen has a really cool history.
I’m really looking forward to They Come unseen. I’m a big fan of hidden movement games, it creates some suspense.
Steve Jackson Games Pulls Back The Curtain On New Target-Exclusive Munchkin Release
AUSTIN, Texas (July 20, 2015) – Steve Jackson Games is proud to announce that we’ll be travelling to the Land of Oz with a brand new Munchkin game: Munchkin Oz! Based on L. Frank Baum’s classic children’s books, Munchkin Oz blends the stories’ whimsical characters and places with Munchkin’s own brand of zany backstabbing. Munchkin Oz has started appearing on shelves at some Target locations and will be available throughout the country and on target.com in early August 2015. This is the second such exclusive release in partnership with Target, after Munchkin Legends (in Target in 2013, released widely in 2014).
Fans who follow the Yellow Brick Road to Target and purchase Munchkin Oz will want to look for Steve Jackson Games at conventions and keep a close eye on Warehouse 23 (warehouse23.com), where they’ll find silver shoes special promotional cards and other goodies from August through December!
“It has been a lot of fun to revisit those classic stories that have delighted children (and adults!) for over a century,” said Andrew Hackard, Munchkin Line Editor. “In developing the game, we went back to our own roots to allow the players to be Professors, Royalty, Soldiers, or (of course!) Wizards. We can’t wait for our fans to adventure alongside Dorothy, the Scarecrow, and all of Baum’s classic heroes.”
