Me and my colleague, Dillon Wall, ran 3 events for about 20 different players and many more onlookers. It was very surprising to me to learn how many gamers at a show like PAX are intimidated by miniatures and would rather watch (sometimes an hour or more!) than play. We were only scheduled for two 4 hour events, but there was enough demand that we figured we'd offer an unofficial 3rd event and indeed had no trouble filling the table with new players eager to roll dice! Thanks again to all who played (especially the guys from last year who were eager to get in on it again!) and I hope to play with all of you next year!
My first post to the blog in over a year, but worthy one, as we attended PAX Unplugged for the second year, bringing along my most impressive set up yet! I've been working on this D-Day table for months, having never attempted anything like it before, and I consider it time well spent as everyone was super excited to play on it!

Brandon, Thanks for having your D Day Invasion game setup at PAX 2019! Saw a lot of familiar faces from past years, as well as newcomers, who, IMHO, really enjoyed themselves. A Most enjoyable set of easy "minis" rules to learn and adapt to and KUDOS to you and Dillon for making some change ups to make the games flow better. Hope to see you next year! :) Again,Thank you!, for the entertainment!

Hello! I hope you are doing well! I played at PAX 2019 and had a blast. We were wondering if you plan to attend PAX Unplugged this year. I hope you’re able to make it. If not, I hope you are staying safe and all is well!
