Is there any non-D20 news out of GenCon?

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.

Given that Monte Cook's vision doesn't take up too much room along the spectrum of playstyle and era, this is an intriguing idea. Although having released the first one as a d20 product, I'm sure the sales figures are higher than can be expected for most other - or new - systems.

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.

I was in shock personally. FIrst time in, well pretty much ever tah tI can remmber, I saw a book that was released at GenCon in a store the same weekend. Great Escape ehre in Louisville KY had it. I didn't look much b/c a friend was possibly bringing me on. Didn't pan out but I'll buy it soon

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.

The Cthulhu dice were not available. They were taking money with promises to ship them to you. A friend of mine ordered them but at 16 bucks I passed for the time being. If they had them there I would have been a little more tempted, though.

I thought I saw some blister packs of the Cthulhu dice at Q-Workshop. Were those only there as samples?

Yes it did. I am only about 1/2 way through it I will post a review when I am done.... Green Ronin also had "A More Perfect Union" Paragon Adventure and "Hero High" available to buy. I got those as well and I will post about them as soon as I can.

Yeah. You could only look at them. Not even roll them, sadly.
