Some of the photos for this post were borrowed from Jason Tagmire's post on GenCon here. Secondly, I want to thank the many people who helped me test Empire Reborn. If you're reading this and your name isn't in the playtester section, hit me up in the comments.

GenCon is a place to buy games, play games, pitch games, or sell games, depending on your role in this nerd ecosystem. But, as I quickly found, and hoped, it's really the site for great stories. GenCon attracts a mass of people dressed as 10 foot wookiees, the skinniest Spider-Man I've ever seen, lads with incredible beards, little steam punk children, and normal Tom and Sallys.

One of the most important decisions you will make when designing a game is the number of players it will support. In fact, this will probably be (or at least it should be) decision number two or three for the project.

Post by: Grant Rodiek In case it wasn't clear, and I'm not sure why it wouldn't be, I was trying to make a Sean Connery joke with that headline. Naiiiled it. GenCon is nearly upon us and I'm fairly excited.
