If it is being done from Origins or GenCon, it would be neat to have the video done from the Catalyst video after the set up is done but before the Con opens to the public.

It all depends on timing of the boxed sets' production, and my personal availability, because I doubt anyone else with CGL has the time or capability to do a video from a con. Also, not for nothing, but a con floor is not conducive to good audio or video--as I learned the hard way in my WWE announcement video last year. This time around I would use wireless lav mics and a better camera, but it's still not great.

Also, if I do make Gen Con, I have lots of other ideas for content, too.

Thanks Chubby!

Ouch, haha.

I hope we don't need wait till gencon/origins to just have anything new for Battletech.  Its cool boxes are coming, but that's not what i'd like.

Is there gong to be a what’s up with Catalyst panel again this year? Maybe my search-fu sucks, but I didn’t find it on the GenCon event list. Trying to push a schedule together, and I’d like to leave a hole for the panel if there will be one.

A sourcebook preview would be super nice. I was quite an active poster and did a fair share of number crunching posts. I would like something to get the battletech imagination flowing.

If they are going to publish an A-class title after this time, it is not too long.
However, they must finally deliver. So far it has been mostly vaporware.

It is not scheduled yet.

The usual time is Thursday evening.

I will likely be available Thursday night to grab a video again...thanks to getting locked out of the event I had planned to do at that time. Once it is announced and I can be sure that I will be there, I'll post in the relevant Gencon thread or start one.

We're also looking into options to live-stream the panel via Facebook Live or some similar, easy-to-setup tool.

That's what I'm trying to pin down. FB is the easiest to set up and execute--just point a tablet and push a button--but limits access. YouTube links are more accessible and more easily shared, but require creating another "official" platform for BT content, which I'm trying to limit.

What about Twitch or Mixer or other streaming services (if any exists)? Is it that "create yet another platform" thing with them as well?

Cubby, could it be done with the CSO guys? They could be involved with the unboxing. Like a first look by them at the production minis.  They have a twitch, fb and youtube accounts.

Yes, also IIRC Twitch requires a login. There are some other solutions like Mixer, but I want to make sure the stream is accessible as widely as possible.

I have other plans in the works for unboxing videos, which may or may not be tied to Gen Con specifically. It all depends on production timing.

Wait, are you talking about log in to stream or log in to watch? Twitch can be watched without logging in.

My fault, I was typing while doing something else. Yes, I meant a login to stream. If we're going to have to create a new platform one way or another, I want to do some evaluations of each to determine which might be most useful to CGL in the future, and which we're most likely to be able to ever create more content for.

Basically, I don't want to create a Twitch account for one single video, and then figure out later that YouTube provides the most ongoing opportunity to reach our audience, and that's what we ought to have created instead.

Can’t speak for twitch, but I’ve used Facebook live and YouTube live, both are stupid easy to use.

I would say if wanted to use YouTube, which is accessible by people without having to sign in/etc, you could start a channel, focusing on the starter products, which would give way to ‘how to play’ videos.  Heck, you could even catagorize things by intro, standard, dark age ect

I have 5 . . . this will make 7 when the boxes come out.

I still need to put together my other Prim to be a -7M . . . so WVR-6R unseen, -3R (or 6R stand in), -8K, II/-7H, an unassembled -7M . . . two plastics . . . one will be a -9M, and not sure about the other.
