Origins is definitely boardgame centric, but has always had a strong showing for CCGs and RPGs, the tabletop miniatures segment has had a lot of paucity (ebs and flows) over the years. If RPGs are your main thing, registering well enough in advance is neccessary to get into any or most sessions. I registered a few weeks before the con, and struggled to find games that fit my tastes.... but searching the list of RPGs in total showed a LOT that looked intrigueing (for those smart enough to register early)
Around the @1:25 mark, that vendor also hits GrandCon that my wife and I go to. They ALWAYS have something unique to get some of my money. Last time was Fabula Ultima.
I do love not having to drive anymore, but watching this made me wish I didn’t give up my car and drove out there. Looks like a lot of fun. Also, saw in the background Perils and Princesses. Ryan the creator is awesome and the game is definitely worth taking a look at.
Aww that looks like a lot of fun. I wanted to go to Origin Con and see what is was all about but couldn't make it. Definitely going to try to make it out next year hopefully.
So good to see these again. And I think it's a good preview of what Gen Con is going to be... Only that it'll be, what? 10 times bigger? (Gen Con is huuuuge.) Are you going to Gen Con, Dave? Boy, I'm so excited to see what boardgame and ttrpg devs are going to bring to that show this year.
I used to love origins. So much more manageable than gen con. Not to dox you or anything lol but your zoo footage with Baron looked like you maybe lived near Fiona? You’ll know what I mean if so lol, if not ignore this haha.
Aw, man. I kept hoping to run into some of my favorite RPG UA-camrs. I was there helping my friends at the Black Hole Rainbows booth. Wish I could have seen you and said hello. So appreciate your channel. I learn about so many cool games.

It was a wonderful surprise to meet you!! Cheers!!
Hahahahaaa! Dave, it was so fun to see you and hang out. I say it was beginner’s luck on the Castle - you’ll never let me get away with it again! 😂
That looks fun!

Indie Press Revolution has an amazing selection of indie RPGs. Really one of the best out there.
Nice footage. Thanks from an Aussie who will probably never make it to Origins.

The Pirate Borg table looked awesome 👌
Yeah they had the same setup at GenCon last year. Limithron has built an empire!
Those guys are amazing, I was getting FOMO looking over at them from where I was lol
It was so great meeting you, twice! I'm the weirdo in the red at Kelsey's panel, it was also my first time at Origins but definitely won't be my last!
Hey Kyle! It was quite fortuitous that I met you! Hope to see you again!
What a great tour!
I'd love to participate in such an event here in France
Keep up the excellent content Dave!
I live in Marion Ohio and I used to go to Origins. Maybe I'll give it another go.
It's really great if you're into board games, or if you can get a group to meet up together to play a boardgame or RPG.
Looks like it was a great time. Always fun to see what vendors are making for the rpg scene.

Yeah, I plan on going this year!
@@DaveThaumavore Heck yeah! Looking forward to that video!

Glad you made it down! I’m lucky that this is my local con - I live about 3 miles up High Street from there.
@@OhioPuppy doesn’t get much more convenient than that!
@@DaveThaumavore Absolutely! There have been times when I have gone to the convention on a city bus, which requires me to walk all of three blocks. 😎

He was incognito lol I didn't realize it was him until the panel by Kelsey Dionne
