• At Gen Con 2012, designer Richard Borg talked about Memoir '44: Equipment Pack and a number of his other designs, including Samurai Battles, Cowtown and BattleLore. I offered a handful of fantastic ideas gratis, and I expect to see my insightful creations brought into production in future years. You're welcome, Richard!

• I peppered Z-Man Games' Zev Shlasinger with a range of questions about what the publisher was showing at Gen Con 2012, what was coming in the future, and what qualifies for release under the "Z-Man" brand. Then I forgot to actually get demoes of those games debuting at Gen Con. Whoops.

• Designer Richard Garfield talks about the creation of King of Tokyo: Power Up! and his efforts to broaden the playing possibilities of the King of Tokyo base game. We also talk a bit about SolForge, the digital collectible game he's developing with Gary Games.
