Read MoreStar Wars Wednesday - Gen Con 2016
Last week brought another successful Gen Con, with around 60,000 gamers packing the convention center and surrounding hotels in downtown Indianapolis. The dealer hall expanded yet again, and the show extended all the way into Lucas Oil Stadium. Despite some early concerns, I got through without straining an Achilles tendon, though I did cut down on the walking some. Fantasy Flight Games that several major Star Wars boardgame and card game announcements. My product Age of Rebellion Forged in Battle was released at the show, and should be available in stores soon if not already.

Star Wars Wednesday - Games and West End
An almost all games edition today, with a variety of game items, including the unexpected return of a certain well known RPG company name...
Read MoreStar Wars Wednesday - Almost Here
Keeping things short this week. I've been so busy of late with work that my wrist issues are acting up, and I'm too tired to spend much time dictating. I also have a bracket to fill out tonight. So, Special Modifications has nearly arrived, and Nexus of Power seemingly is available some places. There are a few others that are almost here as well...
Read MoreStar Wars Wednesday - Awakened
As with the vast majority of you, I saw The Force Awakens last week. For those that haven't seen it, there are no spoilers in this week's entry. Maybe later, but I'll give some warning about it. Star Wars Wednesday - Celebration Anaheim 2015, Part 2
Star Wars Celebration. Too much to be confined to one day, and too much to be confined to one blog post. Star Wars Wednesday - Celebration Anaheim 2015, Part 1
Star Wars Celebration Anaheim was fantastic. It certainly had a seemingly never-ending stream of announcements and news, starting off with a bang with the new Star Wars Episode VII trailer. It's as big or a bigger hit around the world as it was at the show. But, Celebration had far more than that. For starters, it sold out 4 day tickets, Saturday, and Sunday tickets. Star Wars Wednesday - Riding the Waves
Another week another...two deadlines. Let's just say I've been staring a few Revit* models for most of the last week, and I've seen a few too many moon rises at the office. Could be worse...it wasn't sun rises. With a few other things happening lately, I'll be glad to spend a few days at Star Wars Celebration next week.

OK, more of the same this week. Very busy. Looking forward to Celebration. Picked up Armada, have had NO chance to actually play yet. Too busy to even do an April Fools bit this year, but then there is this....
Read MoreStar Wars Wednesday - Planet Comicon 2015
Planet Comicon was very successful again this year. The crowd control was better. The main hall probably had more than last year (hard to tell), and the main stage was a huge upgrade in size and atmosphere. There was plenty of Star Wars, and the light saber dealer appeared to clean up, given the number of sabers seen around the con. The 501st, Rebel Legion, and other groups were attended, complete with photo-op dioramas and even a mock up of a Rebel snowspeeder.
