GenCon Product Release 2008: A Compiled List

[Atlatl Jones]

Atlas has announced that Hedge Magic, for Ars Magica, will probably come out in November.

I want to see how Hunter: the Vigil turns out differently from Hunter: the Reckoning. I hope there's none of the divine powered humans, and more of something like Project Twilight.

Green Ronin

Wild Cards: A Mutants and Masterminds Campaign Setting
Buccaneers of Freeport (PDF looks to be available)?
Freedom’s Most Wanted (Mutants and Masterminds) ?

Wild Cards and Buccaneers will both be there, but Freedom's Most Wanted will not. The M&M GM Screen Deluxe will be there too. We'll also have some new t-shirts and possibly some other surprises. We'll post more about that when we're sure what's going to make the show.

Burning Wheel : Magic Burner.

I'm looking forward to seeing what the Dark Horizons stuff is like (i.e., Cold Black and the Known Universe Gazetteer, at this stage.)

Link for those who mightn't have heard of it. The Dark Vistas line also looks interesting, and I picked up one of the indulgences already (Death Beneath the Waves) - it's good! Which reminds me, I might get one or two more. . .

Anyway, there's some great stuff coming out soon, from all kinds of places, by the looks of things.

If only A Song of Ice and Fire could've made it for GenCon (and thus, sooner for me to pick up locally.) Still, I can wait.

Margaret Weis Productions plans on having the long-awaited Serenity Adventures and the Cortex System RPG available at GenCon this year. We'll also have all of our other stuff, and Margaret will be signing round the clock!

Cheers,

Glee! More Serenity stuff to cannibalize for my SWSE game! Also, I had heard you crazy MWP kids got the Supernatural license. What's come of that?

Paradigm Concepts

Grand Tome of Adversaries (Witch Hunter) (released at Origins)
A Child’s Game (Witch Hunter) (released at Origins)
Witch Hunter’s Journal (Witch Hunter) (released at Origins)
Year of the Fall (Arcanis)

Year of the Fall was also released at Origins - that's where I got my copy.

My guess is there'll be more of the former thing going on, because for the latter, I would've thought that core nWoD (i.e., mortals) would do just fine. Better than the original, if anything. Add in a couple of the supplements for core (e.g., Dogs of War, 13th Precinct, Second Sight, those kinds of things) and it could be pretty neat, IMO.

Anyone have any news or speculation on Boardgame releases?

I hit the ones I am more familiar with and haven't checked out other companies at this point.

I thought this Gen Con was going to be an expensive one, but this list changes that a bit. Not near as much stuff as I thought.
