Gen Con 2008 Purchase List

Post by Breakdaddy »

With Gen Con only about 2 weeks out, I am feverishly researching the lists of new product hitting the shelves at the convention. I know Ill be buying the Goodman Games 1st edition product that will be there (the flipbook looks REALLY cool) and hitting the PEGinc booth for solomon kane's new releases. I am still checking out some of the other stuff right now. What is on your list of must buys at Gen Con 2008?

Dude, I had no idea that Aces & Eights had new supplemental material coming out. I am stoked about this and will drop by Kenzer's booth to pick this stuff up!

Hmmm....

Starsiege

Castle Keepers Guide

Probably Jim Ward's latest...

Other than that, Nada, though I usually pick up one or two supplements or games from new publishers to check them out.

Seeing as I am not going, I won't be buying anything at GenCon. However, I fully expect to have everything I want that is released there shortly after the con's conclusion.

Dragondaddy: sadly the CKG is not going to be making a Gen Con release date.

Serleran: Too bad you cant make it. I've been the last three years in a row and it's been fun each time.

I also noticed that MWP is releasing Serenity Adventures, which I will also have to add to my list.
