Has anyone at GenCon purchased some of the new releases? If so, what did you get? How do they look?
Anyone bought new products, like Castle Whiterock?

And if you got Whiterock, spill about it, please. I'm not usually into megadungeons, but this one sounds particularly interesting.

Any "City of Brass" info would be appreciated, too!
It'll be a few weeks 'til I can get my copy.

I bought my boyfriend City of Brass and it looks AWESOME. He bought me Paragons and that is really cool as well. I will post a review after I read.

I got the Castle Whiterock boxed adventure and City of Brass at GenCon. I am very, very happy with these purchases!
With Whiterocks totaling over 700 pages, and City of Brass 450, I did not get a chance to read both so far!
I can tell you City Of Brass comes in a sturdy, solid box. They fill it right to the rim, there is NO space between the stuff inside and the lid - it is PACKED. I read the intro and theory behind it's design and looked through the various books within. It seems like an awesome tool for DMs running epic games or soon-to-be epic games. Loaded with story potential and an entire book of stat blocks ready to steal.
The Castle Whiterock box has to be the biggest RPG boxed set ever. There are different books, each divvyin up various levels of the adventure (15, plus sub-levels and side quests). There are full-color poster maps, pregenerated characters, a book of handouts, a full campaign gazeteer, and more. It's loaded. Something I thought was a very thoughtful touch: they included an index book that lists every name, thing or palce in the entuire campaign, gives a one-liner to refresh the DM's memory, then attributes pages where it appears.
While I am at work now, I can look into them tonight if anyone has specific questions.

The sheer size of Whiterock is incredible. 48 pages of MAPS. Like, wow.
Let alone the fact that it is all stat'ed out. No filler, just great dungeon crawlin' goodness. Freakin' awesome. I also like the gazetter section and the town map. I'll be stealing from there for a long time.

City of Brass is sitting in my house taped in a box from Amazon.
Lords, Whiterock sounds good.
I do have some questions for anyone who owns it. What is the feel of the adventure, say compared to World's Largest Dungeon or other DCC adventures?
How different are the levels of the dungeon from each other?
Any info on the details of the content are appreciated. (No hurry, since I guess it can't be purchased until November or so.)
