SOLD OUT ALL DAYS said the signs. I don’t know what the stats say, but I’d say GenCon was completely back to, if not surpassing, the pre-COVID levels of the convention. GenCon was in full force in 2024, and I love it. It’s still everything it’s cracked up to be, and a bucket list item …
Haven’t blogged in a while but I have gotten some games in and can’t wait to talk about them. The main idea here is one of setting up conditions and then paying them off. It applies to multiple board games, and I’ll discuss it by looking at 3 fairly different games in Unmatched, Black Rose …
Thanks so much to everyone who backed the Essence of Eternity, it was a success that exceeded all of our expectations with over 300% of our goal! We’ll take a deeper look at our backer list, but this is our third successful Kickstarter now, and I think we’ve learned a few things: Know why you’re …
Took me some time to get this post together, but wanted to make sure I shared out on Distilled plus some other games we played this year while at Gen Con. There are new games coming to my collection from Kickstarter, namely Return to Dark Tower and Unmatched Tales to Amaze, those will be covered …
We made another Gen Con this year, with Tim making his 16th straight pilgrimage (since 2007). I’ve also gone since 2007, and Deri and Mark since 2006, but we’ve each missed at least one. I remember back when you could, you know, walk down the aisles and see the booths without throngs of people crowding …

All comments are Aaron’s, I’ll make my own below each set. 80-71 #80. Jolee Bindo & Juhani [#76] A poorly designed relic. #79. General Hux [#77] Meh. #78. Durge [#75] Functional …
As frequently mentioned, we’re having some fun Epic Duels conversations over at the Discord. The latest is Darth Wolverine (Aaron) ranking all 80 Geektopia decks! He’s been doing one a day, and we’ve been discussing them. We’re currently a little over halfway through, here’s where he had things stacked up at the halfway mark: #80: …
Hello and Happy New Year! We’re looking forward to 2023, with an upcoming announcement on an original game project! In the meantime, the Epic Duels Discord generates a lot of activity so I’ve been making new decks and other updates: If you haven’t seen, we have a draft of a Luthen Rael deck from the …
Happy holidays to everyone visiting the blog. We’re distributing the books and dice from our successful Kickstarter of Fearsome Wilderness the Roleplaying Game, and can’t wait to hear about everyone’s experiences with it! We also have a project coming in early 2023, and potentially a second one for later in the year. Meanwhile, over the …
