More Essen shows are on the way soon. Unfortunately, limited internet access in Germany prevented me from having enough time to upload 'casts and being at the show for the first time didn't help either.

In light of the fact that Geekdo/BGG did so many cool live broadcasts on UStream and that other podcasters were on-hand, I've decided to keep my podcasts to game reviews and thoughts on the show. I did a few interviews but didn't follow the sensible advice of conducting them in quieter spots and the noise is not good - plus, there would be some overlap. So, as I spend a couple of weeks in India for work, I'll record and upload some shows to talk about the event and my attempts to play Uwe Rosenberg's new At The Gates of Loyang (the only game I brought to India) solo over the course of my trip here.

Unfortunately, the time and money involved in making the trip to Essen means that I am going to bow out of BGG.con, which is coming in less than a month's time. I am selling my BGG.con pass and although I have a friend looking in to selling it, you can feel free to e-mail me with an offer. Although some find selling the pass at a premium untoward, I was encouraged to do so by many folks. I certainly wouldn't mind something to help offset the costs of the Essen trip and the chance to bring all these podcasts to you.

Thanks again for downloading and listening to Boardgame Babylon. A new show will go up shortly and many more will follow in the next two weeks.
