Please get plenty of shots of the new Dust Tactics mechs.
Busy busy weekend…
I have to say, that was a great place to start. I hope we get all the info on dust warfare, leviathans, and relic knights.
I feel a little sea sick now. Clearly too many shiny things at once. The camera never stops moving…
I fell the same to !!!
Just saw the Blood Bowl game on some tables….*sighs with affection* Can’t wait to check it out at Games Day UK.
I will correct that as Blood Bowl: The Card Game lol…but still can’t wait to get it 🙂
A steady cam would help alot when you move around that much. Im looking forward to malifaux. Saw that they went right past it but Would love a closer look at the game and its dynamics.
I agree, a steadicam of some sort would have been cool, but I’d need to find one tiny enough to fit in my backpack! If you saw the tiny setup we’re using to shoot this show, you’d probably laugh. However, I can carry all of it on my back while fighting my way (successfully) through the throngs of rabid gamers at the con, so I guess there’s a bit of give and take. 🙂
Maybe I’ll do a quick video about my video setup for conventions, if people are interested.
Of course it’s got to be a compromise. I have no idea what the cost of such equipment would be either. You know gamers though – you give them something shiny and they want it even shinier 🙂
Thanks for the coverage.
I think there is a small one hand steadycam kit you can get- its a counter balance rod on a pivot if i recall correctly, i think manfrotto made one for under £100.
Nova3k sits at his chair, staring intently to his monitor, a pillar of drool hanging down to the floor. He snaps back to reality at the end of the video as though waking up from a lucid dream. A wet dream. He then raises his fist defiantly in the air, shaking it as though initiating a challenge from the gods “ONE DAY!” he bellows “ONE DAY I WILL GO TO GENCON! ONE DAY!”
Looks great! nice to see what it looks like. Makes me hope oneday ill have a booth there myself! 🙂
Now that I’ve taken my Dramamine, I can tell you that I think Adam and Chris are doing a good job covering the highlights. Looking forward to the interviews!
Thank you for posting things like this! Watching the video is probably as close to the real thing as I’ll ever get.
Ahh, Makes me wish I was back this year. Had a blast last year and years past.
Trivia:
Does anyone know the longest running game/tournament at GenCon??
(Hint it’s a morning game)
I think I do, but it’s only because I walked past a sign for it at some point on Thursday, so that might be cheating.
Well, I enjoyed it, so a big thanks to Adam.
Wife, kids and the atlantic means I’ll probably never get the chance to go to a gen con , so its nice to get a feel for the event by proxy.
Thanks Adam for all the work and bringing Gencon a little closer to sunny/rainy england.
Please tell me your be able to pop in on Cubicle 7 for the One Ring RPG!!

Being I never gone to GenCon I don’t know much about it. Its great to have a quick cover of the grounds and what they have. Question, I noticed that GW seems to be rather absent, other than its FF role playing stuff. For one of the biggest game companies to be absent at an event like this seems rather odd. Is there a reason for this or did I miss them in the wake of things?
No, you didn’t miss them: Games Workshop stopped attending Gen Con back in the early 2000s I believe. They have their own Games Day conventions, so they don’t feel they need to go to Gen Con anymore. They don’t attend Adepticon, either, but they do send Forge World and Black Library to that convention.
As the one holding the shaky cam, sorry, it didn’t seem to bad at all while filming. Adam has as pretty smart little rig for this that works very well and the empisis is on portability. Thing is I’m shorter than Adam so I am holding the camera up above my shoulders, starts to hurt after a couple of minutes, and I think that contributed to the shaky cam.
Corvus Belli is at Gen Con Adam! XD you left them behind after you talked with the battlefoam people, they are close to them XD
