Fri, 29 May 2009 ![]() Boardgame Babylon is back with a new volume of the Q&A series. This one is the Q&A session I recorded with award-winning game designer Dan Verssen at Gamex 2009. Dan was our Guest of Honor at the recent show and he was kind enough to sit down and answer some questions about his history in games, his ludography, life in the game industry, and some of his design process. I really enjoyed his comments and I hope you will, too. Thanks for downloading and listening to Boardgame Babylon. Show Notes Comments[0] |
Thu, 21 May 2009 As has become our tradition, Boardgame Babylon will be performing a series of game demonstrations at Gamex 2009 over the Memorial Day Weekend (this weekend!) Come out and learn these great games from top publishers like Asmodee, Treefrog Games, Valley Games, FRED Distribution, Rio Grande, Out of the Box, Mayfair, NECA, Pair-A-Dice Games, Bucephalus Games and Z-Man. We have scheduled a few demos but mostly you can come by Friday, Saturday and Sunday morning to learn games whenever I'm available. The games in the demo library will be available during this period. If you are in Southern California or nearby, you don't want to miss it. Attendance is already tracking higher than last year and it should be a terrific show.

Thu, 30 April 2009 Wow - took me almost a month to recover from that silly April Fool's Day joke. But now BGB is back with a new show talking about three new/newish games. · Giants by Fabrice Besson (Asmodee/Matagot) · Playing Gods by Benjamin Radford (BallsOut Entertainment) · Roll Through The Ages by Matt Leacock (FRED Distribution) I also announce the lucky winners of the BGB contest for cool Michael Schacht stuff from Orccon 2009. Congratulations to the winners and thanks to everyone that sent in an entry. This was the most popular contest yet for BGB and it's inspired me to do another one soon. I'm back from GAMA (where I didn't record any shows) but I do have some good material for a couple more shows, one archive show that should see the light of day soon and even - finally - a "Favorite Games of 2009" show with one of my favorite BGB occasional contributors joining me on the mic. Thanks again for downloading and listening to Boardgame Babylon. Comments[2] |
