Origins Approaches!
I'm counting down the days and making a few last-minute preparations for Origins in Columbus, Ohio, next week. My brother-in-law and I will be there all Thursday and Friday, hawking my FIVE (different) completed prototypes to any and all publishers. Feel free to stop me and ask for a sneak peek. I'll also have one more game for playtesting, if time permits. I'm looking forward to hitting the CABS board gaming room again this year. I might actually pay this year, lest I risk being thrown out (which almost happened last year). Whoops. Live and learn. Look for two guys wearing Revolution! shirts--hope to see you there!

Revolution! Discussed by Sean Malstrom
Recently, I noticed lots of hits to my blog coming from this site by Sean Malstrom. I've never heard of him before, but I guess it's a pretty popular site. He brings Revolution! and my experiences with it into an esoteric conversation about video games and D&D. I'm just glad he enjoys it!
In other news, I'm trying to get all my ducks lined up for Origins. At the same time, I have at least three new ideas for games that just won't leave my brain alone. I'm also planning to upgrade this blog and transform it into more of a general site about more of my games.
The Revolution! BGG rank is nearing the 700 mark with over 600 ratings!

Gluing and Cutting
Lately I've been making some new prototypes in preparation for Origins. I intend to have five new games ready to introduce to game companies at the convention (one prominent appointment has already been set). Unfortunately, some of that time had to be spent re-making a prototype that was lost in the mail by a certain West Coast game company--after I had paid all the return shipping. This would not have been such a tragedy except that this game requires my printer. Everything except the board had to be printed fresh. One problem--my printer doesn't print yellow anymore. Or red. This game happens to be mostly blue, but there was still a lot of coloring by hand. Despite all this, the prototype is now finished.
Now all I have to do is finalize my last game, do all the graphic design, print it up (on someone else's printer) and put it together. It's currently being playtested by the Thirdfloorgamers in Wisconsin. We should have things smoothed out in another week or two. This design has been the most stubborn I have ever worked on--I hope it turns out well!

The German Revolution Begins!
Pegasus Spiele has now officially released Revolution! in Germany. The finished board looks a little different from the preliminary picture below, but is still very nice (maybe nicer):

Also, I found a video interview from the Nuremberg Toy Fair (in German, but shows off the new graphics pretty well):

The Expansion Is Coming
In other news, I recently gave an interview to Crows'n'Bones, and I also found a new review. And one more bit of news--Revolution! has (nearly) broken 800 at BGG.
In non-Revolution news, I'm nearly finished assembling the art and layout for another game. My plan is to take a backpack full of games to Origins and see what happens!

Revolution!: The German Version
News is slowly leaking out concerning the soon-to-be-released German version of Revolution!, produced by Pegasus Spiel. Today, we got a picture of the new board from Nuremberg:

As you can see, this design is quite different from the Steve Jackson version. It gives the box art a bit of context as well. This picture is a crop of a larger one showing some of the bidding board. The new version features pictures of the characters on their respective spaces. There is currently a discussion taking place on BGG--most comments seem positive.
Here is another one, fully equipped with meeples instead of cubes (H/T):

By the way, here is the box in all its wild and comical glory:
