Sunday is a weird day at Origins. The high points of Friday and Saturday are over, and it’s a thinner crowd. Some people are intent on finding a possible last minute deal in the Dealer’s Room, others are squeezing out the last possible bit of gaming time. And many people are trickling off homewards.
Origins Awards Winners! ~Lost Battalion Games won an Origins Award for Best Game Accessory for their A Place 2 Play map system.
What is your new game?
Hell on Wheels is an expansion to Sergeants! and plays with both D-Day and the minis. Hell on Wheels allows a person to drive a tank from the viewpoint of the crew, like the fury movie.
What is your personal favorite game?
Battlegroup is a carrier naval game as a card game that plays better than anything I’ve ever played. I thoroughly enjoyed designing it with my mentor, S. Craig Taylor Jr.
What is your favorite mechanic?
The story system in Sergeants! changes the turn sequence dynamically, inserting random events without requiring the GM to determine what will happen.
If you like ____, you will like Sergeants!.
If you like Up Front, you will like Sergeants because it is a man to man patrol level game.

The three big events we saw running were the regional qualifier for Bushiroad, the Yu-Gi-Oh tournament, and the costume competition. Bushiroad took over a large part of the back corner of the main gaming room, rapidly filled with people sorting cards. Yu-Gi-Oh took over a ballroom, filling the room with the murmur of conversation. Judges wandered around, adjudicating, and the main game was being recorded with color commentary.
There’s plenty of gaming, on all sorts of tables…
Whatever your game, there’s something to play here.
