Well, got to walk the exhibit hall and take a painting class with Jeremie B from France.
Both were excellent as usual. Had a great time seeing all the new and old throughout the hall.
Privateer Press’ booth was mobbed, with a 2 hour wait in line for people picking up the new Monsterpocalypse collectable game box sets and the new Legends expansion book, Epic warcasters and Character Jacks for Warmachine. The line did get down to a simple 1/2 hour wait later in the day, but wow! What a ride.
I’ve uploaded a video from the day, with various snippits and views of the hall and sites seen.
Cool stuff at Gale Force 9’s bothe as they are losing the Privateer Press’ licensing agreements at the end of the year, so two things: The awesome terrain peices they produced for WM were being blown out at the booth at $50/each, and if you bought 3 of them, they would throw in fourth fee, giving you all 4 of the set produced for $150. I could not pass up that deal. Also since they are getting out of the PP production of Faction dice and tokens for Warmachine and Hordes, they have come out with their own set of markers called Warcogs:

More tomorrow!
I will try to get an interview with GF9.

Nice blog!
I was wondering, did you do the interview of the woman who taught the pole dancing classes (me)?
The card that I was given got lost in the post Gen Con shuffle!

Thanks for the complement! But now I didn’t get to that part of the convention this time. I know that I had some friends that had either gone to the class or wanted to. It seemed one of the more interesting non-gaming events taught this year.
Good luck on you search.
