So big convention, lots of stuff happening - not a single thread Clearly something must change

So here it is the bit catch all thread for all the gencon news from all games that we find around the net (or if one is lucky enough to be attending can post direct form the con - bring pictures!)

Beasts of War are doing a live-blog of the event
https://www.beastsofwar.com/eventslist/gen-con-2018-live-blog-day-one/?order=asc#snav

Already the Kingdom Death thread has some photos of preview miniatures and terrain from the gencon event!
Scroll down a bit - a ball of people, twisted other ideas too! https://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/5520/503919.page

Super Star Destroyer (2 foot long model) for Armada tabletop game!
http://www.ign.com/articles/2018/08/02/star-wars-armada-super-star-destroyer-expansion-adds-a-ludicrously-big-ship-gen-con-2018

Love the ball of people, I don't play kingdom death but my first thoughts were that would be an awesome c'tan, size dependant

KD makes some outstanding sculpts, never owned any but wouldn't mind too though a good few are not my style but would be impressive to own for their creativity and imagination.


Also added a beast of war link to the opening post as they are doing a liveblog of the day - already one video up doing a short chat to a couple of players playing the new Age of Sigmar Champions game.

So, that KeyForge, huh?

Interesting take on a new distribution methods for Card Games. If FFG was the company to make LCGs a viable product, why not Unique Card Games?

And more comming today

One more release that's secret - so that's either something totally new or the formal unveiling of the Monopoly game - but then that isn't "super secret"

Curious what this super secret release is.

My first thought was the Devil Pig game using their Heroes of Normandy system but that's long been announced.

The fact that they're keeping it all hush hush... hopefully it's something exciting.

Heroquest returns in some form perhaps? Nah, wishful thinking...

There’s one more ultra-secret tabletop game from a mysterious licensed partner still to announce from GenCon. We can’t tell you anything just yet, but keep your eyes peeled here later this evening – this is a reveal you won’t want to miss…

Tabletop game at that.

A tabletop game from a licensed partner? Who’s there they could license with? CMON, FFG, Ninja Division? Palladium?

None of those (hopefully and probably).

I'm genuinely surprised that the Space Marine Adventures game features the classic Secondus marines.

Arena Rex has the new Greek Helleniki line out and available. Their normal Gencon sale is goin as well.

(Wish I was there--anyone able to pick up a couple items for a work-bound gamer?)

I wonder if Munchkin 40K is the super secret announcement?


Automatically Appended Next Post:


Diemension games look to be planning a 2nd KS in October 2018 to reprint the game (1st print is basically on the boat to fulfil their KS),

probably means expansion(s) too

Let's hope not! Last thing we need is that.

If we're wishlisting, I'd love to see Aeronautica Imperialis using the X-Wing engine, that would be a nice surprise.

I doubt that will ever happen, but if it does, I'd buy SO MUCH of it.

Huh! Was this a thing we knew about?

There were rumors of a 40k campaign system in the works. This is not what people had in mind.

I want the SM adventures and Gretchinz.

They look fun

I would die.

Have they properly announced 40k Monopoly yet?

If not, it’ll be that.

Gen con is kinda rediculous they typically offer a lot of products that are only available there, so unfair. I hate seeing all the updates for it.

Pretty sure all that info has been know about since late last year. It's just been so long since we've had new info, I guess the old is new again.

That's what Gencon ninjas are for.

I had a buddy of mine attend a couple years back, and he managed to snag me some early releases/convention only items.

They did. And calling something like that an ultra-secret tabletop game from a mysterious licensed partner would be rather poor.

Calling it now, the super secret licensed table top game will be a Man-o-war themed version of Battleship.

What about Gorkamorka?

I don't think Gorkamorka would make a good theme for Battleship.

Squig attack based on Hungry hungry hippos

Probably AOS version of Mordheim.
