Following the end of GenCon 2017, along with all the announcements coming out of the FFG In-Flight Report, the whole team gets to chime in on what was a hit and what was a dud. Hint: not what you're expecting. Apologies for the delay on getting this out the door. A busy week coupled with a twitchy audio editor (the software, not me) made for a long haul. What were your GenCon highlights, Star Wars or otherwise? Please share your thoughts with us on all our social sites, as well as leaving us a r...

Welcome to another special presentation of The Jodo Cast! In this episode, I'll be closing out my GenCon 2016 experience. It was another great year, and I hope these episodes encouraged some folks to make time to come next year! I didn't manage to get this recorded last night as I passed out very quickly after four long days, but there wasn't really any time-sensitive information like the last couple. As mentioned in the show, do take time to follow some of the folks I met this year, including: ...

Welcome to another special presentation of The Jodo Cast! GenCon 2016 day two is in the books! Today we got to attend the biggest tabletop event of the year, as far as we're concerned: the Fantasy Flight Games In-Flight Report, at which they announced their biggest future releases! This one was also recorded once I was home, but it was much later so I sound a bit tired and disjointed, but it's still better than attempting to record in the car. Hope you enjoy the avalanche of information! You can...

With the ceremonial opening die roll of the con, I'm bringing you even more coverage of all things gaming this weekend, including hands-on time with Star Wars Destiny!

As I did last year, I will be bringing you short, daily podcasts covering the parts of the show I'm getting to experience. Apologies for the sound quality on this one. I'm not sure why it turned out quite so muted, but I'll see what I can do about that in future episodes. And again, yes, the con OFFICIALLY kicks off tomorrow (Thursday), but today is Trade Day and some interesting things ha...
