Details? Source? Pictures? Box contents? Cover art? Is this a new trend for settings? So many questions.

Inquiring minds want to know.

Its info coming from GenCon... I am sure the bloggers will provide more info when they have the time.

Thanks to davethegame and newbiedm amongst others for providing a live feed from GenCon.

Starting with Essentials, magic items will be grouped into common, uncommon, and rares. Rare more powerful and cannot be created by ritual. Giving the power back to the DM. Most current items will fall into the uncommon category. Only common can be created by the players.

The Shadowfell: Gloomwrought and Beyond. Boxed set that includes poster maps.
Shadowfell includes a "despair deck." Cthulhu-esque insanities that the DM gives out that includes rp and rules.

Monster Vault: Threats to the Nentir Vale. Box of monsters. Includes tokens, encounters, poster maps.

Conquest of Nerath strategy war game board game. 2-4 players fighting across the map of ruined Nerath. Plastic minis, with heroes and armies

Player's Handbook: Champions of the Heroic Tier. Introduces themes for core D&D. New options, feats. Non-combat options like Blacksmith

Neverwinter Campaign Guide for Forgotten Realms, including the new bladesinger class

Hero Builder's Handbook. Aimed at players who want to tinker and build something detailed with your character. Not in development yet

Madness of Gardmore Abbey - new superadventure box, includes deck of many things.

Q&A: Working on new minis set for 2011, nothing to announce yet. Ravenloft will be integrated into D&D and be in the Shadowfell

These are some really killer announcements. More boxed sets, more secondary games (war game), decks of cards!, new and continued setting supplements, and a Ravenloft setting! I thought this was going to be a pretty boring GenCon as far as D&D announcements went. Clearly, I was not correct.

In the DM kit and Rules Compendium there will be an alternative to the parcel system - such as Random treasure tables.

There was a request for a book that is just a lot of different skill challenge options/scenarios - Bill told @mikemearls to get on that (from wizards_dnd twitter)
