Matthew Lillard was there on Sunday helping his staff pack up the booth. I was working at the BA Games booth just across the aisle. It was awesome to see him in the trenches with his employees. It really shows how great of a guy he is.

We sold 2300 Arcs at the show. Our plan was to sell 250 at each site, each day. We realized we had 300 more than we expected and allocated more on Saturday. We did sell out.

Jackie was lovely as usual and I enjoyed speaking with her.

Was my first Gen Con and man was there a lot. Was great seeing all you guys, poor Zee looked exhausted when I saw him on Friday afternoon. Hope you all had a fantastic Con!!!

[gmrichert]

I liked that Leder Games had reserved copies of Arcs for everyone that attended one of their ticketed demo sessions

[genxsaisquoi]

Security was majorly heightened, but I figured as much for the crowd as anything. Saw more fire marshals than usual as well.

"Tyrkisk peber" has been made in Denmark since the 1977. its was made by fazer in finland in the 1990s.

12:25 Wingspan Duel basically already exists in Wingspan Asia.

[tullnfloyd]

Yes please do another prediction video for next year too! This was great!

[Sigilitarius]

Interestingly, Arcs was available to purchase through the game room before the opening of the exhibition hall on the first day. Grabbed my copy that way!

[TheManaLeek]

It's pretty astute to compare Tyrkisk Peber to smelling salts, they're both ammonia based! Smelling salts are ammonium carbonate and Tyrkisk Peber have ammonium chloride in the centre.

[phinori]

Tyrkisk Peber are very good on their own and one of those things your (Finnish) relatives living abroad request you bring a bag of when you are visiting them. There are also stronger flavours and those are good too.

But then they've decide to make all kinds of Tyrkisk Peber abominations such as Tyrkisk Peber icecream and chocolate and that's where we have to draw the line.

[lastburning]

16:01 I just ate salmiakki ice cream a few days ago! It's delicious! Of course I'm Finnish.

The Balloon sculpture was also the first structure you could go inside of and interact with, it was gnome sweet gnome.

[tjaybagwell]

Deadpool has his own licensing fee with Marvel, whereas the X-Men (or Avengers) are all grouped together under a license. So, unless a special deal is worked out, a publisher would have to pay double to put Deadpool and Wolverine in a box together.

[Malcore]

I saw quite a few uniformed officers in and out of the vendor hall.

[chrisgrady]

Hope you guys are feeling better. Missed meeting you at Capstone games for the meet and greet

60% is a D- everywhere I taught...Thanks to Joey and Tom for being available to chat a bit. Zee was grumpy working...so I got rude vibes...but again, working...maybe I'll catch him on a better day...but that being my one and only gencon, maybe not...but thanks for the videos. They have been helpful from the day I got into the hobby...because of your video on Spectral, I got a beautiful game (with the upgrades) and have loved it so far.

[ThymeKeeper]

Doesn't Wingspan have a two player version as part of one of the expansions, or am I imagining that?

[opendoorgames]

Uniformed officers were in the vendor with bomb sniffing dogs. There was a threat called in and they had to show up. I was able to pull this out of an officer.

[brianhenriksen]

There were uniformed officers in Lucas Oil a couple times as well. One was a K9 unit
