New edition of Masks of Nyarlathotep apparently.

WFRP 4th was announced months ago. Star Wars 30th Anniversary I saw on ENworld, although it may have come from Gencon.

They did have Mark Rein-Hagen becoming part of the new Vampire team.

Anything else?

They did have it announced a good while ago. But I think it's supposed to be making an appearance (according to a flyer I saw). Fingers crossed for that. If it wasn't C7 I wouldn't really be all that interested, as the rules for 2e are pretty damn cool.

I saw Mark RH was to be added to the Vamp 5e team. Probably too little too late after seeing the alpha test. Unless they will change it significantly now that he's onboard.

Vampire was great when Mark Rein-Hagen was at the helm. It was Justin Achilli who ruined Vampire, not Rein-Hagen, you contrarian dipshit.

Mark Rein-Hagen and Ken Hite are going to fix what Justin Achilli broke.

Anime Rules! Marvel and DC suck!

Hagen was the man at that stage... If he was heading up the 5e project originally I would have been excited. But judging from the alpha monstrosity, that they released recently, it's past the point of no return.

Sure, I still love playing 2e and V20 anyway!

BTW Huge Honorable mention goes to Steve C Browne for creating the original player's guide to the Sabbat!!!

Hagen's track record on Kickstarter is not a positive one.

I've no idea why he's even necessary. Vampire at this point surely writes itself. We know the clans, we know the factions, we know that nobody gives a hoot about the Humanity system. I never did and got tremendous enjoyment running it more in the vein of Forever Knight than St Angstula of Trenchcoat Town.

GenCon isn't really a RPG convention anymore so not a lot of RPG news. FFG announced a table top war game based on Star Wars which is big news.

SJ Games did a surprise release of the PDFs for Dungeon Fantasy but that isn't new.

Lots of different kinds of board games, some are over complicated and fussy, just as many RPGs are but a lot are accessible and well designed.

Yeah this looks cool. The intention with Metarcade is that you'll be able to design your own adventures for others to play as well. Look like a cool throwback to the Infocom games and there's already a pretty healthy Twine community out there.

Can't argue that, but saying the OSR 'cleaned up' seems to be overstating things when Chaosium and Tales from the Loop both took home more awards. 'Strong showing' or the like would be more accurate, IMO.

Someone should have told all the people playing RPGs.  Then we would have realized that we were supposed to have a lousy time.

In fairness, there's a ton of boardgames at Gen Con.  I guess I don't give a shit.  I prefer RPGs but I do love a good board game.   I was sorely tempted by Cthulhu Wars (http://www.boardgamequest.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Cthulhu-Wars-Yellow-Sign.jpg) with its awesome chunky primary color minis, but when I realized I could get it cheaper from amazon and I'd have to have the huge thing shipped, anyway, I came to my senses.

What I noticed in the dealers' room is that EuroGames have taken over; that is, high production values, lots of specialized components, simple play.  Like the X-Wing game; the game play is virtually identical to the TSR "Air Power" WW2 aircraft game of 40 years ago, but they use glitzy components to keep track of everything instead of a piece of paper.

Somebody had a Conan boardgame with custom figures and etc, and said the game play was "half an hour to an hour".

As a veteran of Diplomacy, Kingmaker, and Drang Noch Osten, my mind, it is boggled.

Agreed! When I did my last open Braunstein, one of the players made a point of telling his audience how well and easily I made the five and a half hours of game time go by. These days, I make sure that any RPG game sessions run for two, two and half hours tops. Otherwise, people don't want to play, as they don't want to invest that much time in a game session.

What we did, back in the day, of a pleasant afternoon and evening - with a break for a convivial dinner with everyone in between - seems to be a long-lost form of social get-together that is largely absent in today's gaming hobby. I'm not scrapping the buffet table just yet, though... :)

Well, they're just following the people who claim to 'not have time' to play long games anymore.  I have no idea if it's true that they don't have the time, but if you're vocal enough, you get noticed.

The Conan game is pretty nice, if full of fiddly figure-y bits.

Where I work a lot of 'older' folks had that complaint about the classic boardgame 'RISK' - it would take too many hours and never seem to end.

In both "RISK : Godstorm" and "RISK 2310" there is a built in time limit of 5 big turns or 'epochs'. This time limit tends to keep the games down to about two to three hours.

There is a version of RISK called "RISK: Legacy" - which changes every time you play it because however the game ended last time is how you start the game the next time you play it At the store we had one group of regulars that used "Risk : Legacy" as the background world and timeline for an RPG campaign that they were doing.

Personally, I'm not sure if the flood of boardgames is a bubble that's going to burst so much as there may be a related kickstarter bubble that bursts - folks deciding that they've spent too much on kickstarter and cutting back on that, so that new boardgames funded by kickstarter become more rare, slowing down the rate of both new board and rpg games.  (And I say this as someone who's pretty much addicted to kickstarter. :)

I agree (shocking, right?).  This is a metamorphosis, not a fad; what games are is changing.  Just like in model railroading; after 23 years, we can say that the shift to more expensive ready to run models is a trend and not a passing whim.

Well, true, but even "Back In The Day" we broke games into sessions.  Something like Drang Noch Osten takes several hundred hours to play.  I wonder if one thing that changed is we aren't college students any more who can simply use the dining room table in our rented house for DNO over six months and meet Sunday from 2 to 5 to play.

In one case I know the "turn" lasted a week, and the various subcommanders would make their turn at various points during the week and combat happened on one designated day.

That, and you have a lot more entertainment options these days than you had in the '70s, '80s, and even '90s.  You have about 200 more television channels, Netflix, YouTube, and video games.  Not to mention that everyone has incessantly nagging personal computers in their pockets constantly shouting "LOOK AT ME!"

Whhhuuut??? We marathon played DNO, eight hours on both Saturday and Sunday, and if we could get in a turn on a weeknight after school we did. I don't remember playing for more than two months before one side or the other would resign or surrender because they were defeated. This includes at least two full games of DNO/Unentscheiden. Europa was one of my favorites, and at one time I owned DNO/Unentscheiden, Case White, Narvik, Marita-Merkur and Fall of France. My friend Paul had all of those as well as Their Finest Hour. We were very tempted to get Torch, The Western Desert, The Near East, and Spain & Portugal to try the full WWII Europa experience, but never had enough time or money to get that all together before he went off to college, and I went off to Korea in the Army in 1985.

We played over at Paul's House, becuase he had a game room (not in a basement, but an extra bedroom in the ranch house) big enough to setup DNO, and no pets, and all of his brothers and sisters were older and had already moved out of the house, so the game table could sit for weeks undisturbed.

Best DNO game as the Russians, had perfect armor corps deployment behind the main line east of Poland, and totally stalled the German attack of Army Group North by forcing German Infantry divisions to retreat and block the advance of the Panzer and Panzergrenadier divisions. Counter-attacked in late July, and had taken ground Eastern Prussia by mid-August of 1941 and was almost close enough to unleash the Russian Artillery on Berlin. Paul resigned in disgust. Second game didn't go so well for me, as he made sure his Panzers and Panzergrenadier were leading everywhere in Army Group North. At least I still had Moscow when the mud came!

As Germans, my best game had me east of Moscow in early August with the entire 4th Panzer Army. I didn't bother to capture Moscow, I just completely surrounded it, and cut off it's supplies. The Infantry was slow to follow, but I had captured at least one of the Russian reinforcement cities where troops from the far east were being railed into, and had total air superiority over the entire Northern front from the Baltic to Kiev.

Worst game. Narvik. ...As the Germans, I was completely ejected from Norway in 1940. Remember kiddies, you can't get reinforcement by sea, if you don't capture the ports. Second worst game, Their Finest Hour, ...as the Germans. You know you are not doing well when Goering historically did better than you...

We never broke it into sessions. Usually because that involved leaving a very complicated board somewhere for a week at risk of being knocked over or inconvenient.

Anyways, I have no problem running 10 hours of Dark Albion (or any other RPG). But somehow board games that take that long just feel like too much now.

Gamemastering at Gen Con for ten hours straight would have melted my vocal cords.  For the room I was in, I had to stand the whole time and belt everything out at the players.  Playing a ten-hour board game would have been a lot easier on my throat.  But I have to admit that there aren't that many board games I'd like to play for that long at a time at Gen Con.  Maybe Forbidden Stars or Imperial Assault.
