I didn't talk to Wil, as I wasn't there, but my friend Brian didn't mention anything about hearing about an expansion. Brian did several group orders for both The Great War kickstarters, but since he was working the Con for FFG, he may not had much time to ask Wil about that. Brian is pretty connected in the game community and likes to network, so since he had a lot of back and forth with Wil during the kickstarter campaigns, so I'm sure he just wanted to touch base, and somehow the demoer questions came up since Brian was wearing his special badge. Wil wad looking to get a team in the U.S. to do GenCon, Origins in ColumbusColumbus and the World Board Game Championships (or something like that, though I think it's mostly wargaming) near Philadelphia. I'm not even sure about doing it for GenCon next year (have to discuss with the wife), as it will have to depend on compensation such as hotel, badge etc. But I can likely say that I wouldn't be able to travel to all the other conventions for it.

Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?
Interesting idea Tornado, though like you said, kind of tough logistically.
@chas I just saw that my friend Brian (Coltsfan76 on BGG), post on a thread on BGG that when he spoke to Wil Townsend, he said that the French would be the next expansion on Kickstarter. Don't know when exactly though.

Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?
I thought Scythe was a bit too Euro for me, but now after a fourth game, I think I'm starting to get the hang of it (even though I just tied for last place). Well, the first two games were only two player, and the third was with newbie's for whom it was too heavy a game at my gaming group.
My pal the game owner smashed us yet again. I looked over at him after we counted up the final score and said "Hey, its not this game I hate--its you!" The four of us agreed that we still had to learn how to slow down the front runner in this design. Today Taeblewalker brings my GenCon copy of Star Trek Ascendancy over! Even though we'll be Supers Draft Kolakoski Scaping all day, I'll leave the game out opened in the bedroom on display. I'll be hosting its actual play next Saturday, Wednesday, and who knows when else in the near future? Although there are few review out yet, the rules are available in the Files section of bgg. In the evening, perhaps we'll try out Quartermaster General with its new second expansion Alternate Histories for the first time. |

Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?
I had a great time at GenCon. I played 3 Pathfinder Society scenarios and about 14 games of Heroscape (and 4 games of Planeswalkers). I also got to demo Hero Realms and the new (to me) Dominion: Kingdoms expansion and see a lot of cool stuff in the dealer hall. I didn't get to spend as much time demoing in the dealer hall as I would have liked because I was trying to find good gifts for my kids (easy) and my wife (hard), but I did watch a demo of Seafall just as the dealer hall was about to close on Sunday.
I also played a few games of Spyfall, Codenames, Star Realms, and Epic with various Scapers.

Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?
Just got out a set of X wing, what is the special "ballpark" number of ships do you need for x wing to get a decent game going? It just doesn't look like enough to play with one starter set. So I have another starter set coming, but what then? Any suggestions. Also, I'm going to be making a bunch of my own asteroids and meteors for the game as well. I'll have to post pictures of those when I'm done.

Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?
@Porkins, at least 2 I guess. I just want to get a fix on how many ships per team you'd recommend.

Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?
Of course it depends on which ships (ie- point cost) you are using, but usually in a kill-em-all type game you'd fly 2-4 ships, unless you are flying a TIE swarm. TIE swarm could be 6-8 TIE's.
