Strange - shen I click on the ENWiki link at teh top of the page, I got a page that said "all cookies cleared" and was logged out - when I went to the Front page, I could successfully get to the Wiki, however.
I seem to recall a post where Orcus indicated he was planning on Oct. 1, and didn't have anything he could have ready for Gencon because of that. Other than that, I agree with you; it seems odd the GG would be in early and not Necromancer.
