Second is, of course, that each character comes with three completely unique cards. Well, first, while you wouldn’t want to mix-and-match these starter decks with basic Clank! starter decks, you can play them alongside the Upper Management Pack, which is a pretty sweet increase of options at this higher ‘power level’ of play. Legacy version, a group of four unique starter decks that replace the base decks for either game, not recommended for your first time out with Clank! Legacy, a slight issue with diluting the new decks’ uniqueness as gameplay goes on, and absolutely stellar production values from the art to the character boards to the miniatures.

“C” Team Packįrom Renegade Game Studios, Dire Wolf Digital, and of course Penny Arcade this “C” Team Pack for the popular Clank! series of board games has a lot of similarities to the Upper Management Pack I reviewed after PAX East: compatible with both basic Clank! or the Acq. chapter, for lack of a better word, you could do so much worse than swinging by and seeing what there is to play. If you’re going to Unplugged or East next year, or any of the other cons that have a Games on Demand. The Unplugged GoD Discord channel hummed all weekend with activity to wrangle supplies, substitution games to cover GMs who had something come up, extra games to fill more tables or more slots so players could have a home, and more. I have no way of really knowing how many games were added, how many pickup games occurred, or which games from the GoD library were rented out and played independent of a GoD GM.īrian, Natalya, and the other organizers/hosts put forth an amazing effort to get more than 40 GMs rallied together with all of those games and game hours in the first place, but what even GoD players might not realize is the amount of during-the-con behind-the-scenes effort that gets put out.
Hogwarts: An RPG, Pax Cthuliana, Goblinville, Fiasco, MONZ, Dinosaur Princesses, Dialect, Mothership, Monsterhearts 2, Princess World, Swords of the Serpentine, Never Tell Me the Odds, Masks of the Mummy Kings, Aeronauts, Nobilis, Hearts Blazing, The Watch, Fall of Magic, The Skeletons, Thousand Arrows, BLOCKBUSTER!, Misspent Youth, Blades in the Dark, Long Time Listener Last Time Caller, Ill Met By Moonlight, Teens with Attitude, Index Card RPG, Swords Without Master, Girl Underground, The Ward, Scum and Villainy, Monster of the Week, Apocalypse World 2e, Trapped, Trophy, Lady Blackbird, Rest in Pieces, Commandroids: A World Transformed, and Inspectres were all on the docket, and that’s just what was on the pre-con list.
Lead and Gold, What’s OLD is NEW, Bulldogs!, Alter Arms, Dusk City Outlaws, Dungeon World, Women are Werewolves, Nations & Cannons, The Final Girl, Heavy Metal Thunder Mouse, For The Queen, Dungeon Tours Ltd. All players had to do was show up and pick a game. Numbers got a little fuzzy over the course of the weekend, but before the doors opened, I can tell you that GoD were offering a total of 408 hours of tabletop roleplaying gaming – all of it small press at the largest and much of it pure indie and often run by a designer, providing everything that prospective players needed to enjoy a two or four hour long gaming session. Then again, I think everyone should be biased in favor of Games on Demand, which is a volunteer outfit that exists simply to provide opportunities for attendees to play more RPGs. So here’s my PAX Unplugged Roundup of some of the things worth checking out, whether they’re things to look for next con or something worth chasing right now!įull disclosure, I was running Transit for a trio of sessions with Game on Demand this year at Unplugged, so I’m definitely biased in favor of this particular facet of the convention. a lot to write about, and more than a few review copies, but there are plenty of things that would get missed by doing things one article at a time.
There was a lot to do and see, however: board games, events, roleplaying games, accessories, actual play opportunities! I came home with. Aki might have had the brainpower to check in every day of PAX Unplugged, but I.
