Welcome to another Gaming Gang extra from the floor of GenCon 2011. This time I’m talking with Colby Dauch from Plaid Hat Games plus George Rothrock and Gary Weiss from Incinerator Studios.
It’s another Gaming Gang Extra from the floor of the convention at Gen Con 2011. This time Jeff and Elliott are talking with Mark Kaufman from Days of Wonder. Mark chats with us about Small World Underground, Cargo Noir, and we have an interesting conversation about board gaming gone electronic.
Luke Crane, designer of multiple role playing games, spends time on the first day of the 2011 Gen Con show talking about The Burning Wheel and Mouse Guard role playing games as well as some of his other titles.
The boxed edition of Mouse Guard was making it’s debut at the con and it certainly looks like a winner!
Acclaimed screen writer (Xena and Hercules) and game designer (Men in Black RPG and Star Wars D6 amongst many others) sits down with me for a discussion about his inspiration for writing and design as well as taking a look behind the scenes of his latest RPG, The Secret Fire.
As you’ll hear, it took some effort to draw George out of his shell. *Wink*
Todd Rowland, Brand Manager of Legend of the Five Rings from AEG, spends some time with Elliott and I discussing the brand new release of the Ninja: Legend of the Scorpion Clan board game as well as the Emperor Edition of L5R CCG, Heart of Doom for Thunderstone, Blood Country for Nightfall, and all things L5R role playing.
This time, Jeff and I are talking with Anton Torres from Fantasy Flight Games about Star Wars, Dust, Rex, Elder Sign and a whole lot more. Plus Steve Horvath, VP of Marketing Communications, pops in to say hello.
This time, I’ll be talking with Rachel Griffin from Spin Master about Redekai, the 3D card battle game. If you or someone you love is a Pokeman or Yugioh fan, then take a look at Redekai. Plus Stratego’s 50th anniversary and Stomple, right from the floor of Gen Con 2011.
The boys come to you almost live from this year’s Gen Con and share the latest news from the convention as well as their thoughts on the show. It can’t be an episode of TGG without reviews so Elliott tackles Small World Underground from Days of Wonder while Jeff tackles Dawn of the Zeds from Victory Point Games.
All this and more!
I talk with Ivan Van Norman from Hunters Books about the zombie apocalypse simulation RPG, Outbreak: Undead. Yes, it’s true your zombie survival plan will fail! But don’t worry, I’m sure mine will fail too…
Bob Carty, VP of Sales and Marketing for Mayfair Games, joins Elliott and I for a few laughs and a look at the latest releases and upcoming titles. We also delve into a bit of the history of Mayfair that some of our listeners may not be familiar with.
Elliott and I sit down with Shelly Mazzanoble, Brand Manager of Dungeons and Dragons from Wizards of the Coast. Shelly shares with us a lot of exciting details about the launch of the Neverwinter for the venerable RPG.
Listen in as I detail my ignorance of all things D&D from the last 20 years…
Elliott and I had the opportunity to speak with Charlie Krank from one of our favorite companies of all time: Chaosium Games, publishers of Call of Cthulhu. Give a listen as we talk about the 30th Anniversary of CofC!
Uwe Eickert of Academy Games takes time to talk with Jeff about the Conflict of Heroes series, upcoming titles 1812 – The Invasion of Canada and Bloody Crossroads: The Battle of Gettysburg Day One, as well as the latest release, Strike of the Eagle.
