One of the things people noticed at Gen Con was the Gargantuan Orcus miniature on display next to the D&D Delve in the Wizards booth. Hopefully we can get him into a 2008 minis product. I can't tell you how nice it is to final get Orcus back in the Monster Manual. (For those who don't know, "Orcus" was the code-word for 4th Edition.)
In case you're wondering, Asmodeus won't be joining Orcus in the new MM because, as I previously hinted, the Lord of the Ninth is getting a promotion to god status in 4E. His holy (unholy?) symbol will be among those appearing in the Player's Handbook. I'm thinking we should get rub-on tattoos of the various holy symbols in time for next year's show. lol Also, I'm thinking how much fun it would be if R&D folks, myself included, actually ran some 4E D&D game sessions next year at Gen Con.

Sticking WotC in the corner first struck me as funny (They've been baaad), but then as just annoying because they're always crowded but this year, 1/2 of their booth is against a wall. I hated going there for any reason because there were always a million and one kids shoving against you at any one time trying to crowd into the demo tables.
