Does anyone have news on any products being released at Gen Con?

Down to 23 days.  Is there nothing new coming out at Gen Con?    I had heard that Troll Lord Games wasn't going to have a booth, and I don't see Goodman Games on the current exhibitor list.  Looks like the dealer hall may be a little thin, though I have some hopes that the new entrepreneurs avenue (an area set aside for first time exhibitors, at a reduced price) may bring out some interesting material.  Maybe another Kalifax?    

Mars or stratochamp will know the details better than I.  Kalifax is a city state which a group of guys put together from their home game, published in a huge loose leaf volume, and brought to Gen Con back in 1994 to sell.  Bill and I happened to walk past their booth, saw it and picked it up.  I remember they called themselves "City Supplements, Ink"  -- with a "k", since they didn't have the time to actually incorporate.  Very cool, and as I don't think it ever sold anywhere else, very rare.

I think there may have been some sort of subsequent edition they sold too, but I don't have that.

Anyway, the point is that at one time, you could pick up wonderful, unique stuff at Gen Con.  I miss those days.

Official Statement

The current exhibitor list on the Gen Con site doesn't include TLG, so I had assumed the earlier info was still correct.  I'm glad to hear they can make it.  They'll be one of my first stops in the hall.

Wow, that is a bummer
