It's almost time for Gen Con Online! Nearly 70,000 people attended Gen Con in 2019, making it one of the largest tabletop and hobby gaming conventions in the world. Unfortunately due to COVID-19 this years con has been canceled, however, you can still enjoy Gen Con Online! This will be a virtual convention featuring a slate of events and programming you can attend from the safety of your devices and in the comfort of your favorite quarantine sweatpants!
Our awesome Discord mod GranitePenguin is running OGRE sessions at Gen Con Online! Make sure to sign up to play OGRE with, and learn from, our very knowledgeable Aurochnaut. You can sign up right up to the day each session is running.
These will be 2-player sessions so they can have 1-2 people at a time. The sessions will be 2 hours long focusing on the basic mark III. Depending on numbers for the sessions there will be walk throughs for both sides or chances to swap sides. The sessions will aim to simulate having 2 people playing the boardgame at a convention.
Ogre Update - Moving Mac to 64bit version
Hi all, we've done a quick update of Ogre today; the main change is that the game moves from 32 to 64 bit for Mac users, as Apple is doing a big change on the next OS towards 64 bit. (Note that if you want to keep the old 32bit version, you can still use that version. Full details can be found in the Steam Community post here!
Thanks all!
