Dave and I have a good talk about the new Heavy Gear Blitz Rules. Dave Touches on some of the major differences, like no more complicated movement, fire at top speed, and changes to combat. I hope to get Dave on my first miniatures show in October to chat about some of the other nuances like army construction.

At Gen Con 2014 I had the chance to sit down with Sean Brown and chat about Spurs and Alien Uprising. Spurs is a do it all kind of Western game. While Alien Uprising is all about crashing on the wrong planet. This interview was a lot of fun, a lot of wierd things happen during it that distract us.

I was fortunate enough to sit down with Erik Mona from Paizo and chat about things. I’m not sure where we started but we discuss, The Emerald Spire, Paizo Con, The massive Gen Con Role play session, and more. This interview is packed with juicy information.

With everything Erik has said I really can’t wait for Gen Con 2014 and my first, yet to be determined, trip to Paizo Con.

And check out our Kickstarter The Convention Experience.

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.

Matt caught up with Lester Smith Con on the Cob 2013. We chat about his current writing projects ( Cthulhu Haiku II and Mythos Madness) and the games he has created. I have to admit this interview is much more of a conversation. Lester is so easy to chat with and share things it was almost like we were having a glass of wine chatting about old times. You can catch his kickstarter here.

More interviews from Con on the Cob will be coming soon.
