GAMA Trade Show 2010 Hyperlinked List of Exhibitors and Vendors
GTS, the Gama Trade Show 2010 starts on March 22, 2010 and here is my yearly hyper-linked list of all the exhibitors. There are 98 exhibitors this year, which is up from last year(76). This is good news in itself, but I am also heartened to see some new participants like Wyrd Miniatures and Collins [...]
GTS 2009 Vendor Update: Fury from One 3 Productions
“Fury” is a combat board game I encountered at GTS 2009. Unlike most game vendors at the show, One 3 Productions was shopping for a game manufacturer deal. “Fury” impressed me with a very slick presentation and a humorous premise; an anger management clinic that used patients in gladiatorial combat. I also enjoyed the game [...]
GAMA Trade Show Report 2009 Part 4
Osprey Publishing
Osprey Publishing, the venerable publisher of military history/reference books, showed off its latest offering, the “Raid” series. “Raid” books each focus on a specific military raid in tremendous detail. “Raid” looked interesting and the art diverged a bit from the usual ink and paint of other Osprey titles to a more digital look. [...]

Best of Show for GTS 2009: Exillis
GTS 2009 had many exciting games, but there is only one that deserves the title, “Best of Show.” Best of show is not necessarily the biggest release or the one with the best marketing budget. The “Best of Show” title is reserved for a release that is both unusual in design, fun to play or [...]
GAMA 2009 Trade Show Report Part 2
This is the second in my series from Game Manufacturers Association Trade Show 2009. If you want to catch up, my first post is here. I am working my way through my notes and pictures to give you a better idea of what was on offer at GTS 2009, so these exhibitors are in no [...]
GAMA Trade Show Report Part 1
This is the first post of several discussing the GAMA Trade Show 2009 in Las Vegas. There is so much that I cannot hope to have a post for each exhibitor, so I am going to create a “virtual” trade show experience. Each post will have 5-10 entries, with images for various companies, just as [...]
GAMA Trade Show Report 2009: The Airport Post–Parting Thoughts
As I sit in the Las Vegas airport awaiting my flight, I felt that some reflection over the past day and a half was in order. I never attended GTS previously, so I have no benchmarks to work from, but I did query the “old-timers” for some perspective. More on that later. I will [...]
GTS 2009 Day 2
I have so much to write about it is almost overwhelming. I am heading home this afternoon and promise to post something tonight, but I will be liveblogging the Wizards of the Coast “Dungeons and Dragons” presentation in about an hour, so be on the lookout for that. I anticipate it going up around 12 [...]
