GenCON News?

[Hadrian the Builder]

1) where can I find GenCon news? Is anyone liveblogging?

2) Isn't here supposed to be something revealed about the D&D Adventure Tools? Who's following that?

It's live right now. They show streams of previous ones when they're offline.

Ravenloft is the 2011 campaign setting - YES!

Is there anywhere that has something more that quick one liners? Reading tweets is like trying to follow the conversation of two ADD kids on lsd....

Short of the live feeds, Zack's RPG Blog II has been the best source of info for me:

Something about a Ravenloft RPG where you can play ghosts, vampires, werewolves and other things that go bump in the night.

Also, DM Kit and Rules Compendium will have option treasure award systems that are different from treasure parcels, including random generation.

Will this be presented like the Realms and Eberron, or will it be more like Gamma World?

From what I've gathered from various tweets, it sounds like it will work both ways. You could use it as sort of its own game, or more as a standard D&D campaign setting.

Emphasis mine.

Monster PCs in Ravenloft? If that's true, that's a radical change from previous versions of the setting, where evil acts corrupted PCs until they were damned by the Mists (and taken from play as NPCs).

I just hope the vampires don't "sparkle" too.
