Is there any non-D20 news out of GenCon?

[The Green Adam]

Everyone is uber-jazzed about D&D 4E, and rightly so, yet after 4 days I've seen little in regards to any other games. Did Changeling: The Lost come out? Faery's Tale Deluxe? Anything new for Mutants & Masterminds (though basically D20 also)? Are any of the aforementioned products any good?

Us non-D&D players wanna get excited too y'know. :\

Thank you for starting this topic....I am waiting for word on Battlestar Galactica RPG here.

Adam,

If you look at Zachary the First's GenCon review thread over on RPG.net there are several pictures, one of which shows the WW booth and copies of Changling the Lost on display.

Sorry I don't have the link handy but if you go to the General Forums topic on ENWorld and search by only GenCon subjects using the filter at the bottom, you'll find the link.

Regards,

Ed

Changeling the Lost was out, and White Wolf had copies of the Sidereals book for Exalted.

Green Ronin announced an upcoming Wild Cards book for Mutants & Masterminds, too. Next Gen Con, IIRC.

Hot diggety spam!

I've played various Wild Cards campaigns in HERO since the 1990's...I'm glad to see an actual professionally done sourcebook for it come out for M&M (my second favorite supers game, 3rd favorite system overall).

Didn't Paragons come out?

Was anyone able to get the Cthulhu dice? My ninja shopper said he couldn't find them, but I don't think he looked too hard.

Yes and yes. Robin Laws was there signing Fairy Tales Deluxe.

From the Crafty seminar, FantasyCraft was announced, which is good news for those like me who are not too on board with the announced directions of D&D 4e.

Did anyone get a chance to Look at Monte Cooks WOD? That huge released was totally overshadowed by 4th edition.

I ordered it yesterday on Amazon, and am really looking forward to getting it.

Yes and yes. Robin Laws was there signing Fairy Tales Deluxe.

Anyone know when the hard copy version of this book will be available? I have a preorder in through Paizo, but no ETA.

Faery's Tale Deluxe was available at Gen Con; I got my copy, though, alas, not signed by Robin Laws.

Monte Cook's WoD is stunning and scary, like it has Scare Gamer as a feat and all. I found it interesting if only for the choices he made in his reinterpretation. I'm looking forward to reading it.

And to tease a bit from an interview I got with one of the Wolfies (which should be out on the podcasting waves soon), they are considering tapping other big name designers to do the same thing Monte did here, so there would be a series of So-and-so's World of Darkness.
