Meeple People

It's been a great summer of gaming and I just returned from a trip up to West Coast MeepleFest were fun was had by all. I wasn't able to take Christina with me this year but I still managed to have a nice time even as I missed having her there by my side. Although I didn't record any volumes of Boardgame Babylon, I do appear on the latest Garrett's Games and Geekiness alongside Aldie, Paul Tevis and Ric Bretschneider (and Doug and Shelly, of course).

Additionally, I wrote up my session reports from the convention and they ended up being so long that I decided against reproducing them here. Instead, I shoved them on a Geeklist here: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/geeklist/33755

I'm looking ahead to the next couple of conventions. Gateway 2008 is at the end of the month and it should be a great time. Again, I'm demonstrating games on Friday and Saturday - including new games from Z-Man, Days of Wonder, Rio Grande, Fantasy Flight, and a few other companies. Come out and join us in Southern California for the best convention series around.

The next Boardgame Babylon is a Session Review show with comments on Age of Gods, Octego, and a great book of games called "The 15 Greatest Board Games In the World!"
