Gencon is coming - what to expect.

1 month to go until Gencon!

So to celebrate only being one month until the largest table-top convention in the world kicks off I thought I would summaries both where to find some good lists and some of the things I've found myself.

This is mainly going to be a lot of click bait so you have all been warned...


First major place to go and look is here: Board Game Geek.
There you will see a lot of the expected releases for the 'con, there may be a few surprises and to be honest there is quite a bit of wish-listing.





Next, worth checking out is: Board Game Quest they put a bunch of effort into finding out what's going on. Way more than I've done... 








Lastly Tabletop Gaming News has started to get some news on their site as well...



Now, less summary, more actual, and these are all things I'm quite interested in:

The biggest announcement is probably the new version of Dungeons and Dragons, with the starter set expected to be available for sale: http://www.wizards.com/dnd/Product.aspx?x=dnd/products/dndacc/starterset

 

And some more info on events here: http://www.wizards.com/DnD/Feature.aspx?x=dnd/feature/gencon

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fantasy Flight games have a big pile of stuff on they're upcoming release schedule: http://www.fantasyflightgames.com/edge_upcoming.asp including a reprint of "Hey That's my Fish" !!! so they'll definitely have some stuff at the 'con....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Privateer Press have a bunch of things happening at Gencon including taking over "The Ram

Restaraunt and Brewery" and they'll be selling exclusive t-shirts there, you'll also be able to grab hold of the two exclusive mini's:  Bombardier Bombshell or Druid Gone Wilder!  full event listing here: http://privateerpress.com/gencon-privateer-events 

 

I can't seem to find any info on Wyrd yet, but I'm sure they'll have something special for Gencon, they've really made it they're own over the last few years...






Onyx Path, the current publishers of World of Darkness and other old White Wolf properties have a preview of the preview up on they're blog: http://theonyxpath.com/from-gen-con-onyx-path-release-schedule-aug-2013-aug-2014/ and it looks like they'll have a big pile of stuff going on at Gencon. Those guys are definitely something I'll be checking out...

Gale Force Nine will have the new Sons of Anarchy game there so that should be fun, and I'm sure their other products like Firefly will also be available for purchase: http://www.gf9.com/

Corvus Belli will be there this year, with a lot more presence than previous years. They will also be offering up for sale an exclusive Cosplay mini, to go along with the Cosplay woman that will be gracing their booth: http://infinitythegame.com/forum/index.php?/topic/23529-booth-modelprofessional-cosplayer-poll/ more details can be found on Bolls: http://www.belloflostsouls.net/2014/05/the-dirt-gencon-2014-infinity-prep.html



Paizo will of course be there as well with a couple of new products available for Pathfinder which will be perfect for the campaign I'm planning to start towards the end of the year: http://www.icv2.com/articles/news/26587.html




And finally Games Workshop will also be making a prescence and bringing along Forgeworld, which will probably be my last opportunity to pick up this years convention exclusive models, luckily one of them is a Minotaurs miniature which should fit in perfectly with the rest of the army...   http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Events

Let the count down begin....   :)
