Mr. Priestley gave a talk on writing games and had a Q&A about his own work.
The Perrys gave a talk on sculpting.
Paul Sawyer gave a talk on Warlord's plans for the coming year.
Alessio Cavatore and Andy Chambers (who seems to have become a semi permanent writer now) gave a talk on Bolt Action.
So, what was discussed? Well quite a lot apparently.
Hail Caesar.:
The next few supplements will continue to focus on Romans and their enemies with Brittons (which we know about) followed by Germania. There's also the Crusades on the way. Some kind of horse archers, possibly Parthians?
Black Powder: Anglo-Zulu War supplement as well as Sudan and "American Rebellion." More Napoleonics including supplements for Russia etc. Plastic Portuguese
Pike and Shotte: Thirty years war looks to be the focus here. The expansion is scheduled for 2014, and will be supported by a new range of plastic and metal minis.
And of course the most activity comes on the Bolt Action front: Two BIG announcements. Paul said he wanted to make the announcement himself but I'm sure it will leak fairly fast. After the current faction books have finished they will start on theater specific supplements. Andy Chambers is doing the Russian front which will cover everything from fighting the Japanese in Manchuria, the Winter War, all the way to Berlin and perhaps beyond.
