* Eclipse Phase from Catalyst Game Labs and CthulhuTech from WildFire LLC
* Geist: The Sin-Eaters from White Wolf
* Fantasy Flight Games
* Alderac Entertainment Group (AEG)
* Days of Wonder
* Hero Games & Champions Online

I asked a number of industry professionals to join me for an informal chat about board games. We talked about a number of things, from the apparent strength of the current board game market to ways all levels of the industry can help each other bring more games to more customers.
