GenCon 2010 is over and we've got some exciting stuff to talk about from our visit. The boys discuss their entire adventure during an extended Achievements in Gaming. What they played, what was the new hotness, and highlights. If you're still with us after all that, be sure to catch Raef and Russ interviewing Matt Wilson. Matt brings us up to speed with his pet projects, i.e. movies and video games. And gives us the Privateer Press state of the union, er, pirates. That should be enough, but why stop there? Total Fan Girl interviews the cast of The Guild, and we have LIVE FROM GENCON: It's Play by Mob.

It's been just about a year since the launch of Malifaux. The D6G team was happy to sit down with Eric Johns, the big cheese over at Wyrd Miniatures to discuss how the game did in year one, and what the new hotness is in the latest book and releases for the Malifaux miniature game. Later Raef and Russ take advantage of Craig being distracted with a new son to discuss video games. With a focus on the recently released Starcraft 2 they examine what makes these games appealing.

We know it's the middle of summer, but winter is coming. So we thought it would be best to start training now with Fantasy Flight Game's latest release "Battles of Westeros, a Battlelore Game." (aka BoW) First the D6G team chats with Robert Kouba, the man behind the new game. What inspired the game? And why base it on the Battlelore system? Later it's time to dive deep into the mechanics of BoW and learn just what makes it tick with a detailed review. Does the game feel like Battlelore? Does it capture the world of George R. R. Martin's Song of Ice and Fire? All that and our other not-too-horrible segments including: - Rapid Fire - The Hollywood Minute - The News - Total Fan Girl - & More
