Gen Con Wants List
July 29th, 2009 by Totengraber

With Gen Con fast approaching in almost exactly two weeks, I am getting more and more psyched about it. I have all but one board and one miniature to finish for Pulp City demos before then. As for the things I will be looking for there, the list is much smaller than I expected, though I expect it will grow while I’m there.

Malifaux – This game has a lot of buzz right now. They only had a closed alpha demo thing last year, but the rumor is they’ll have the book and new starter boxes. I picked up the Seamus box last year along with Hamlin the Rat Catcher. This time I think I’ll pick up the Perdita or Resurrectionists box depending on what I think of the rules when I read them.

Pulp City – I will likely be behind on a few things by the time the convention rolls around, so I’ll get caught up then.

Arcane Legions – I was really kinda excited about this game until I saw the Roman booster box art, which depicted a Spartan in power armor and wielding a gun of some sort. The Han Army booster art, however, has me somewhat interested again. I’ll probably get a demo of this just to be sure one way or the other.

Warlands – The idea of playing a game with Hot Wheels has me intrigued. If the rules look good, I may buy the book.

Uncharted Seas – I’ve played a quick game once with two other people and I did think it was cool, but like many other games, there isn’t anyone playing it regularly.

CthulhuTech – Damnation View or Mortal Remains – Whichever is out, I will likely buy it. I really like the setting of this RPG and would love to play it someday.

All in all, I think I’ll just be looking at stuff moreso than buying.
