One quick question for the CGL folks: The t-shirts that you guys always sell at the booth, how big is the biggest male size you're going to have? I mean, for us troll size guys.

They carry gamer-sizes as I recall...Heavy on the X's, light on the S/M that a few of us wear.


*Measures the opening* Yep that should be big enough for a Mack truck...

There's gamer sized, and then there's troll sized. :/

I think CGL carries up to 3X, maybe. Which isn't quite big enough for some of us. Ahh well.
apollo124
Yeah, 3X ain't quite troll-sized enough for me. Thanks Bull!

Thanks for the game BishopMcQ, had a blast!

Need to tackle more scientist's with tanks nyahnyah.gif

Catalyst, yet again, has proven to be an amazing company! Once again, CGL has out did themselves and showed the love they have for the fans of there games, keep up the good work guys! Truly are amazing and cant say enough good things, Thanks!

*sighs* 1 more year...

Agreed. Good game BishopMcQ, i had a great time. Uncouth Orc Hackers for teh win!

I also share the sentiments of the previous poster. I can't speak highly enough of what Catalyst does for their fans.

It's just a shame GenCon is only once a year.

See everyone at next year's Con!

Even though I only went to GenCon on Saturday, I've got a few observations.

If booth area given to a company is related to how big they are, Catalyst rocks and Gencon knows it! Totally the best booth spot in the whole con! There was (as far as I saw) constant traffic at the Catalyst booth, at the register buying stuff, trying the demos, or just staring in awe at the big tv screen for the Mechwarrior demo. By far a better booth location and setup (and busier) than that other game company who sells that other 4th ed game that starts and ends with a "D".

The swag this year sucked, IMO. I got one commemorative d6, the big book, a Magic the Gathering booster pack of 6 cards, and a bunch of ads. There weren't many booth babes and they weren't giving out much of anything either. There were no special celebrities there when I was other than the very excellent author Michael Stackpole, whose hand I shook.

Catalyst also got primo spots for their meetings, only one hotel away from the convention center and accessible by skyway!
And if you've never tried the Battlemech pods, you are so missing out! Loved them! The only bad part was that they were so good, the line was pretty long to get in one. But totally worth it! smile.gif

Couldn't figure out where to ask for this so here's a good place

Anyone have a link to the Mechwarrior video that CGL had playing at their booth this year? Not the promo one for the four games, I found that one.
