Game Overviews at Gen Con 2012: Core Worlds: Galactic Orders, DC Comics DBG, SolForge & Zombiepocalypse: NYC
Board Game: Core Worlds: Galactic Orders
Here are the first of many, many videos that Scott Reed (a.k.a., Skelebone) and I recorded at Gen Con 2012.

A special guest designer drops in...

• Finally for now, here's a video ostensibly about Ascension: Immortal Heroes that veered into an overview of SolForge, the big digital collectible game that designer Justin Gary and his Gary Games is doing with Richard Garfield. Phooey on me for not noticing how little we talked about Immortal Heroes. A lesson for me next time I do this...
