Videos from Gen Con 2014: Roll for the Galaxy, Pressure Cooker, Sellswords, Pixel Tactics 3 & Argent: The Consortium
Board Game: Roll for the Galaxy
Board Game: Pressure Cooker
• I wrote up previews of new titles from [company=3]Rio Grande Games[/company] — Roll for the Galaxy, Pressure Cooker and Temporum — in the immediate aftermath of Gen Con 2014, but I wasn't able to record demonstration videos as the games were already packed on Sunday morning to make room for a Dominion tournament.

In what might be considered the next best thing (but possibly only by our mothers), BGG booth jockeys Beth Heile, John Knoerzer and I discuss our sample games of Roll for the Galaxy and Pressure Cooker in the BGG booth prior to the start of scheduled interviews for that day. We didn't get to Temporum in time, so you'll have to consult to the linked preview above for an overview of that game.





Board Game: Argent: The Consortium
• Even when designer D. Brad Talton isn't publishing his own designs through his Level 99 Games company, the games that he does publish all seem to inhabit the same universe, as with Trey Chambers' Argent: The Consortium, a giant table-hogging worker-placement/engine-building game set at the Argent University of Magic:





Board Game: Sellswords
• Talton also explained Cliff Kamarga's two-player tile-laying game Sellswords in which each of the fifty heroes has its own special power or action, which seems to be another Level 99 hallmark.





Board Game: Pixel Tactics 3
• Talton publishes his own designs as well, as with Pixel Tactics 3, the next standalone title in this series of two-player tactical combat games.





Video Game Publisher: Level 99 Games
• Finally, to give you a little more time to immerse yourself in the Level 99 Games universe, Talton has published The Art of Argent, a book highlighting the work of Nokomento (a.k.a. Eunice Abigael Tiu) and Jennifer Easley.
