GenCon 2015 Day 2
GenCon ramped up for Friday and I kept super busy as the weekend marched along. I scheduled myself for some more non-BattleTech events during the day but stopped by to check out the Catalyst game section from time to time so keep an eye on what was going on.
Events (Grinders, Boot Camps, Tukayyid, Oh my!)
All of the Catalyst events seemed very well attended. I was glad to have gotten the chance to enter the VR Pods on Thursday because the line to get a mission was steadily increasing over Friday.
The terrain looked great and the BattleTech tables looked busy as ever. I am looking forward to doing some gaming Saturday night as the convention reaches its apex.
Iron Wind Metals
I plan on having a more in depth review of IWMs presence after the convention closes. I did get a chance to chat up some of the IWM insiders and there is a lot of great stuff on tap at the booth.
Tri-Pod super heavies are in ample supply as well as certain primitive designs, LAMs, and the LE Mortis. I do love the jumping LE variants and the dynamic poses they bring to the table.
Behind the tables you can find a cornucopia of small scale LE or online exclusive content in the form of infantry, Battle Armor, and micro aerospace. IWM puts on a great show everywhere I see them and I could not be happier to have the chance to shop with them.
More Diorama
Because reasons.
All the Rest
I started my day playing in a DoomTown Reloaded qualifying tournament. I went 2-3 with a Sloane Gang hex deck. Regardless I had a lot of fun and finally had the chance to play against some really great competition. I had a blast, If you have not taken a look at this game you should. It is an under appreciated gem in the gaming industry today.
I followed up my travels with a game of Giant Urbania and an hour of Two Rooms and a Boom. I will probably have more to add to these titles after the con comes to a close. For now here are some shots of the action today.
