Did you take the demo?
Yes, I participated in two demos. My first was a pick-up before noon on Thursday. My second was a ticket on Sunday. People love the hat, by the way.
Did you play in a Mage Wars apprentice event?
No
Did you get a copy of Mage Wars?
I desired to, but did not have room to take it home in my bag. I was carry-on only to Indy all the way from California. After losing luggage in the past I opted to travel light to my first Gencon.
Did you get a chance to play the full game?[/quote]
No, it was the demo representation only on both occasions.
I am primarily a tabletop miniature enthusiast and player, although I have branched out into board and card games quite a bit with my family in the last few years. It was the familiarity of a miniature game feel that first drew me to Mage Wars, as the board structure offers a context and paradigm I am used to. After two times through at Gencon I became enamored with with the system all the way around.
I had the pleasure of meeting Ben and enjoying a discussion with him about Mage Wars, organized play and the Central California gaming scene.
Spot-on demo performance Arcane Wonders, it was a blast.
