Gents:

Any ideas as to "new" product that will be available at GenCon this year? I know that they'll have Crossfire and Frost & Fire (available at Origins), but wondering if there might be any other con releases planned?

Any idea if/when Frost & Fire will be released for e-book for,at? My fiction library is now exclusively virtual due to lack of physical space.

They also had advance prints of Run & Gun and Stolen Souls at Origins, so that should be available.  I'm guessing that an advance printing of Street Grimoire may make an appearance, but that's just a guess.

It'd be kinda cool if they had Hostile Takeover around for demo, but I doubt it'll be ready for release.

My LGS has received both normal hard cover books and I picked them up over the weekend. There should be no problem picking up either.

Quite right.  Somehow, I'd forgotten the street dates on those were a couple weeks ago.

Some info from CGL:

Shadowrun MMO & TableTop At Gen Con

Not a whole lot of info re releases that will be available, though they do confirm that Crossfire and the Street Grimoire will be on hand.

Thanks for summarizing Larsine...much appreciated. Anyone have any guesses as to which may be con exclusives? For the SR items, thinking it might be some of the card packs, but not sure. Hopefully everything arrives in time ;)

Looks like all the Card Decks are limited prints, so will likely be convention only for now.  This includes the Bravest Warriors decks, though I imagine those will go to a full print run later.

Beyond this list, they should have a pile of Merch as well like they have the last couple years.  Shirts (Draco Foundation shirt, which they had at Origins), shotglass and pint glasses, etc.  But looks like there may be some other stuff as well.  This is 100% official or confirmed, but I think they're looking at having Hats, Mousepads, pins, and buttons this year as well. :)

Thanks Bull, much appreciated. You wouldn't, by chance, have a pict of that Draco Foundation t-shirt?

No, sorry AJ.  Mine is packed and in my van already, as I'm heading out first thing in the morning.

Oh yeah, and we have the physical releases of the Beginner's Box Sets too!

...

Yeah, kept that on the down-low, didn't ya?

Still think that the Alphaware box is over-priced to hell (coupons or no)
