Orccon 2009 Live Blog: Sunday Demos and podcasts on the way

Orccon 2009 is at a close and I missed a chance to do much blogging on Sunday due to a heavy demo schedule. I showed Hogwarts House Cup Challenge, Heads of State, Middle Kingdom (x2), Supernova, Municipium, Draco Mundis, The Club, and Roll Through The Ages. Luckily, Devi Hughes was nice enough to demo Titan for me. This left me no time for gaming and less time for blogging.

However, I'm editing the Michael Schacht Q&A for posting shortly and should be giving away a copy of the exclusive Strategicon Zooloretto expansion (entitled "King K.") to one lucky listener. Watch for the show later this week. I have material for at least one additional show, if not two (plus one show I recorded last week but didn't get a chance to edit).

The convention was a lot of fun, very crowded and I got a very warm reception to all games I showed. I guess it was all the advertising I did but all but one demo went off and they were nearly all packed to the point of turning people away. I did a few extras to get in some of the folks who really wanted to learn the games (notably: Municipium, Hogwarts House Cup Challenge and Roll Through The Ages). I'm exhausted for the work week now but at least I had dozens of folks that appreciated the chance to learn games instead of reading the rules themselves and it was fun to see so many of them come back with the games they had just learned in hand, having purchased it in the dealer room. That's a nice feeling - knowing I helped introduce them to something they will enjoy.

Thanks for downloading and - in this case - reading Boardgame Babylon.
