I just realized that I’ve been back from Gen Con Indy 2010 now for at least three weeks without having told you much about it. I arrived in Indianapolis late on Wednesday evening and checked into the hotel, calling it a night. Thursday morning I went down to the convention center to check in and [...]
My brother and I had the chance to play Fantasy Flight’s Battlestar Galactica board game during Origins 2009. We had a good time with it, and understood why the game had such a following when it was being demonstrated at Gen Con Indy 2008. Further evidence of that popularity is the upcoming release of the [...]
Last year at Gencon Indy, Fantasy Flight Games demonstrated their upcoming board game based on the Battlestar Galactica television series. The tables running the game seemed to be incredibly busy, and the players seated around those tables clearly were enjoying what they were doing.

The folks over at Fantasy Flight Games have launched a new website for Battlelore. On the new site, you can read news about the game, view details about the base game and expansions, download support materials (currently only the rule book), participate in forums about the game, and order it online.
This article starts with an admission… I never got close enough to this game to actually play it. This game was so darned popular at Gen Con Indy 2008 that I simply couldn’t find a time when a seat was available to sit down and get a demo. The tables were full any time Fantasy [...]
While at Gen Con, I had the opportunity to sit down for a 30-45 minute demo of the combat and movement mechanics of Fantasy Flight Games’ “Tannhauser: Operation Novgorod” expansion to its popular “Tannhauser” title. The setting of Tannhauser is that World War I never ended. To quote FFG’s web site: “Tannhäuser is a tactical [...]
