Hi Everyone,

I will be at PAX East on behalf of BGG. This is becoming an awesome tabletop convention and we hope to see many of you there.

Here's what's going on BGG-wise at the show:

Panel: Lost in Translation: Do Crossovers Work


1:30PM Sunday, April 13th
Cuttlefish Theater


Moderator:
Bradley Cummings, BoardGameGeek.com

Panelists:
Julian Murdoch (Gamers with Jobs)
Andrew Parks (Designer, Quixotic Games)
Colby Dauch (President and Chief Game Designer, Plaid Hat Games)
Will Creech (Principal, Creative Creature Design Studio)
Jeffrey Steefel (Executive Producer, Infinite Crisis)

Description:
Historically, board and video games based on licensed materials, be it video games, TV shows, or movies, have been notoriously terrible. However, excellent hobby game designers and publishers are now acquiring great licenses and shattering these stereotypes. Join John Kovaleski of Gale Force 9, Colby Dauch of Plaid Hat Games, Rob Daviau, Julian Murdoch and Bradley Cummings of BGG as they discuss how licensed board games can be both excellently designed and capture the heart of the material they are based on.

Find more details over on the PAX website.

Demos of the Latest Games

I have over 30 meetings booked to check out some of the latest greatest board and video games at the show. We will be recording demos and posting them to BGG soon after the show.

Be sure to check BGG News and iOS Board Games for videos from the show.

Other Great Non-BGG Things
Other board gamey things to do at PAX:

1. Check out the tabletop lending area and tabletop booths. Behind the main exhibit all you will find a large tabletop area full of spaces to play and new games to check out.

2. There are several other great panels on board gaming. Be sure to view the full schedule and find some great ones to check out.
