So I had pics of the vendor hall, but the stupid camera phone I was using erased all but 2 of them so I will have to try and retake the better ones again, for now though here's the 2 I took of the AEG booth
AEG makes a lot of non collectable deck building games like Thunderstone, this year they were demoing the 2 newest Thunderstone expansions and a game called Nightfall where you can chain play off of others cards as long as your cards color matches their card's secondary color
I did win a prize for winning a game of Innovation also, but those pics disappeared
Also the way Steve Jackson Games are doing the qualifiers for the Munchkin US nationals this year was a lame cash grab. The qualifier used to be a series of 16 preliminaries, the top 2 players from each qualifier moved on to the semifinals. This year however, you get a score based off of your level when the game ends, if you win, you get 20 points, everyone else gets a point for each level they gained in play. In order to qualify, you have to pay more than one entry fee to accumulate points because they are letting the top 32 cumulative scores in, so a bad player could still qualify for the finals if they entered and paid for all 16 qualifiers. So in essence they can buy themselves a spot in the semifinals. I refuse to do that, so this will be the first time since I started going to Origins that I did not qualify for the semifinals in Munchkin
Hopefully I get some non erased Loony Labs pics because you have to see these kooks in action. It is like the Woodstock wannabee convention got lost and wandered into Origins
EDIT: I think as soon as I take todays pics I will send the straight to my FB account so they don't get deleted
