Though I’m not a Munchkin fan, I’m cautiously optimistic." Thanks, I hope we suprise you a bit. Slight correction, but this may be my fault,(I got a little loopy by the end of the show) I can't be sure I didn't say something wrong. We plan to have the game for sale at GenCon, and will be running demos at Origins, hopefully with a factory proof. “Steve Jackson Games should have the Munchkin boardgame ready by Origins.

Chris' comment above is basically what I've heard since the show: <i><b>Chris said:</b> FFG had the starters, and have had them sitting in their warehouse for a while now. The boosters “went wrong” and they are having them redone and are awaiting those. No word on when it will come out…</i> Not that I heard, no.

Meanwhile, WW's other lines are going strong - <i>Dogs of War</i> for <i>World of Darkness</i>, some <i>Exalted</i> setting books (and an <i>Exalted</i> boardgame, <i>Legacy of the Unconquered Sun</i>, in June), <i>Scion: Ragnarok</i> this summer, among other RPG goodies. Mongoose is about to hit with <i>Traveller</i> any day now. I'd say the big RPGs on the horizon are both of Green Ronin's George R.R. Martin licensed games, the new system <i>A Song of Ice and Fire</i> and <i>Wild Cards</i>, a campaign setting for <i>Mutants & Masterminds</i>. I'm at work right now, but I'll get another post up on some other things I saw, soon as I can.

Man, you guys are prolific this year. <i><b>Mike Selinker said:</b> By the way, where were you, and how come I didn’t see you?</i> I was roaming the exhibit halls, and saw you a couple times. But I am stealth, the Ogre-ninja, and you did not see me. ;-) Actually, I think each time I caught sight of you, either I was already talking with someone, or you were.

Nine games? Man, you guys are prolific this year.

I'm touched. Anyway, we had nine games debut at GTS. The complete list was: *Lord of the Fries: Third Edition (James/SJG) *Yetisburg (me & Josh Frost/Paizo) *Falling: The Goblin Edition (James/Paizo *Warball (Trish Bell, Richard Levy, Brian Tinsman, Teeuwynn Woodruff & me/Duncan Toys) *Top Ten: The Bill of Rights (Teeuwynn, Dan Tibbles & me/Bucephalus) *Top Ten: The Ten Commandments (Teeuwynn, Dan Tibbles & me/Bucephalus) *Michelangelo (James & me/Bucephalus) *Attack! Deluxe (Sean Brown & me/Eagle Games) *Link 26 (James & me/MindWare) This doesn't include Harrow and Key Largo, which came out from Paizo in February. So I guess they made their convention debut at GTS too. By the way, where were you, and how come I didn't see you? Mike Our ubiquity was the FIRST thing you noticed about the show? I’m touched.

I've got my copy setup on the table in my office and plan to play this weekend. I'm happy with the minis and the game (from reading the rules) looks like it should play quickly.

Since it runs off the decent/doom engine, play won't be anything too surprising if you know those games. FFG had the starters, and have had them sitting in their warehouse for a while now.
