So back from PAX. I know its tuesday and in the internet world, PAX was so long ago. I had a great time. I spent most of my time in panels and with board games, but did get to see the footage from most of the video games. The star of the show was Star Wars the Old Republic. The gameplay was wow like, but I loved it. It also felt very Star Warsy. I liked it and have it pre-ordered, although that was done before the show.
For board games, I tried out Blood Bowl Team Manager from Fantasy Flight and Super Dungeon Explorer from Soda Pop minis. Both were great games. SDE is basically a suped up gauntlet with miniatures. I loved it an picked a preorder up.
Blood Bowl was a fantastic game. I think I would actually prefer it to the minis game, as it takes less prep. Plus you can play with up to four people. The game really hits the teams and the blood bowl game well. I really liked it. It will be out in October I think.
I also picked up Black Crusade, as I was at the FFG booth right off the bat. I was hoping to see the new Star Wars Tie Fighter game, but Lucas wouldnt let them bring it. Turns out the game was only allowed at Gencon due to special permission given by Lucas himself, by letting him play the game.
So great weekend, more to come for sure, as I am off to work now. I will leave you with a link to the photos from the weekend. I didn't get a lot, but there are some good ones.
