Gary Con is in Lake Geneva run by Luke Gygax to honor his father. Historicon in PA is a large East Coast con for wargamming.

Thank you for explaining.

Hey are those Vallejo Model Color paints in the background? My preferred paints! I put the top and drop a plastic bead in them as a agitator to aid with shaking up the paint.

[@FamilyTableTop]

Yes, I really like the Vallejo paint line as well. Do you paint miniatures for wargames? RPGs?

[@tabletoptaproom]

@@FamilyTableTop I started in wargames and then "re-discovered" RPGs in the early 2000's

What do you think of the setting of the war game “Trench Crusade?”

[@FamilyTableTop]

@@joshuacurrey4722 thats a really good question. I have followed that game for a little while. Obviously the game is going for a grim dark edginess and overtly gratuitous gore and sexuality. I’m not really big on those ideas in a product line because it becomes difficult for a company to judge their success - lust and carnage are “big sellers” but they also natural cause burnout. It seems that the trench crusade premise is interesting to people - their successful kickstarter indicates that the themes and setting are engrossing. I think the development team could have benefited from having a few Christians on staff. There are many ideas I have seen from the game that lack mechanical consistency. The game “feels” like a product that is built by angry pastor’s kids (I’m mostly joking). The edginess and anti-Christian tone of the game is enough to turn me away. What do you think about the game?
