Is anybody doing a GenCon news coverage? I already know about GameSpot but the focus of their report is on electronic gaming at GenCon.

I also know that GamingReport.com is doing some GenCon coverage but I guess I want more ... from another angle, from another reporter.

I sorely missed the daily GenCon webcast that Wizards used to do.

Yeah, the coverage this year seems lacking. No WotC webcast (at least not that I could find), no Pyramid reporting, no timely news on the messageboards, and Gaming Report's pieces aren't very informative.

Heck, I was a judge, and I'm waiting to hear who won at the ENnies.

I miss the coverage of GenCon from last year. I guess WotC didn't really care this time, what with there being a new owner.
