Google Hangout tonight!

In about half an hour, I'm going to be doing a Google Hangout thing with the Damsels of Dorkington.

Here's the event page.

Come join us for this - it'll be just a Q & A sort of thing, and you can submit your own questions in the Hangout feed, so drop in and help make it awesome!

This is their Google Plus page.  I'm new to this whole Google Plus thing - so much social media!

Long live the winner of the hat-off! Fun times and I look forward to hearing more about "what is next"!

That went pretty well, minus all the technical difficulties.

Here's the video!

Thanks to anyone and everyone that stopped by.

I wish I could of been on there to see it live, but sadly it just happened to be on the day I also started evening shift. At least I can watch the video and see what I missed out on.

Damnit! The one night I decide to get an earlier night than usual, I must have missed this announcement by minutes. Ah well, I can view the video thing and lament what could have been.

Yeah, you could have watched my internet connection repeatedly drop out live!  *still bitter*

But I could have had the honour of having half a question answered before you dropped again, when will I ever have an opportunity like that again? (apart from pretty much everyday here on the boards)

EDIT: Not that I can think of any questions now, curse you brain!

Ha! That was hilarious. They actually brought up the picture from Origins. ;D I'm assuming you didn't want to derail the conversation with a commentary on sexist gaming marketing... ;)

Glad to hear the announcements around the points, the new game, etc. :D

It definitely looked like the technical issues were causing frustration. I can't imagine trying to keep my head in that conversation while being dropped like that. Video conferencing is hard enough, as everyone keeps stepping on each other.

And you have far too many hats in your house. ;)

And I love that they (and you) quoted the best television show ever: Firefly.  8)

Haha! At least I will be at Kantcon for just one day (Friday) and i'll be sure to bring a full list of questions that I will be asking. You won't even have time to demo the game. Or I could just have them all written down and i'll give you a pen and you could answer them that way and i'll demo the game, mwahaha! At least the essence of Ronway won't be seen in public again until GenCon 2013.

I agree. I'm ridiculously enamored of it. I mean, it's our product and all that, but DAMN. LOOK AT THAT BOX!

So proud.

Arg!

I wasn't going to buy the enhanced edition, I have the original, how good could the new one be?
But that box does promise all new excitement and superheroics... so conflicted now!

Wow... Actually seeing the box with the art is just so awesome. Can't wait to get my little fingers on my own.

You could just get the Upgrade Kit ($9.95 preordered via the online store). :)

The problem with this box is, it will not hold the cards from the next expansion.

Not sure what you mean by "next expansion"; the box will hold the cards from the Enhanced Edition, Rook City, Infernal Relics (which is currently the "next expansion"), and the promo decks (Unity and Ambuscade), and all the counters provided with the Enhanced Edition.

Yeah, this box won't hold the expansion after that, but seriously, we have to be realistic about our options. :-\ The next box they provide will likely have enough space to hold another few sets.

It's not like we can get a constantly-expanding box that'll fit every set as it comes out. ;)

I actually got two of the upgrade kits just for this reason, so I can have tons of space (and can use the nifty boxes Spiff made which are really helpful to show new players the decks and have them choose their character.With two there is plenty of room for Heroes in one box and environments and villains in the other, I try to keep them separated as much as possible "save it for the showdown" and all.

Don't feel too bad, I did the same exact thing a few nights ago. We were talking about Anima and they have an advantage called "Artifact", which I refered to as "Relic" I then got a puzzeled look. Luckily someone else realized what I meant and corrected it.

I was thinking about getting an upgrade kit for down the line but they did say they have plans for storage later so I decided to go ahead and wait on that.
