Quiet Days, Busy Nights

Quiet Days, Busy Nights
From gallery of W Eric Martin
My apologies for the radio silence the past few days. I've been traveling for the July 4th holiday here in the U.S., while also working behind the scenes on various other things.

The Gen Con 2018 Preview now boasts 338 listings, and I'll be adding titles to it for another three weeks as (a) publishers suddenly realize that they're not listed and submit information and (b) they start to reveal surprises for that show once they get confirmation that title X will arrive in time for sales or demonstrations.

I've sent out an RFI form to nearly four hundred publishers for inclusion in the SPIEL '18 Preview, which will go live on Monday, August 6, the day after Gen Con 2018 ends. I'll continue to add to that preview until mid-October 2018.

I plan to post a preview video of Uwe Rosenberg's Spring Meadow on Monday, July 9, and I'll preview another title on Thursday, July 13 at 1:00 p.m. EDT, which is when the embargo expires for information on this unusual design. I plan to kick out more previews of Gen Con 2018 releases in the remaining weeks prior to that show, while also posting news here and there as well.

Oh, and I'm running a board game camp at my son's school the week of July 9. Busy times! What game-related activities are keeping you busy or are you looking forward to in July 2018?
