Booth: 809
Website: http://www.fatdragongames.com/fdgfiles/
Convention Information: Fat Dragon Games has not posted any announcements about special features or previews, but I suspect they will be focusing upon their new line of 15mm terrain E-Z Battlefields. Look for their continuing E-Z Dungeons and Tiles lines and don’t forget to checkout any Castle Winterhawk setups they may have on display. Depending upon what they have, I plan to take lots of pictures of what your tabletop terrain could look like. Their booth is located across from Konami and Fantasy Flight Games between Exhibit Hall I and J Entrances.
Map Location #14 – Flying Buffalo

Map Location #16 – Gaming Paper
Publisher: Gaming Paper
Booth: 1456

In addition, they have an autograph session setup for Steven Schend, Brian Cortijo, Ed Greenwood, and Monte Cook. Their booth is located near the concessions along the main aisle past the Art Show & Authors’ Avenue.
Map Location #17 – Green Ronin Publishing
Publisher: Green Ronin Publishing
Booth: 965
Website: http://www.greenronin.com/
Convention Information: Green Ronin Publishing has some great recent product releases that I’m sure will be readily available at Gen Con. This includes Dragon Age Set 2, Mutants & Masterminds 3rd Edition, and DC Adventures Heroes & Villains sourcebook. I don’t see any direct announcements, but these are probably their biggest releases in the past few months. Their booth is located in the back of the exhibit hall directly across from the Entertainer Spotlight.

Convention Information: Atomic Overmind Press is sharing the Green Ronin Publishing booth and featuring their newest release – the revised edition of Unhallowed Metropolis, a neo-victorian horror system. The core rulebook carries an MSRP of $39.95.

Publisher: Interaction Point Games
Booth: 1954

Convention Information: While not seeing any special announcements, Interaction Point Games has been releasing Kingdoms of Legend products this year, a setting for Pathfinder, and will probably be readily available at the convention.

Map Location #19 – Kenzer & Company
Publisher: Kenzer & Company
Booth: 1519
Website: http://www.kenzerco.com/
Convention Information: Again I have not seen any announcements, but considering what they’ve released in the past months, I’m guessing HackMaster Basic will be in the spotlight (including the Hacklopedia of Beasts?). Their booth is located next to Triple Ace Games and Margaret Weis Productions near the Exhibit Hall H Entrance.
Map Location #20 – Lone Wolf Development
Publisher: Lone Wolf Development
Booth: 1650
Website: http://www.wolflair.com/
Convention Information: Lone Wolf Development has some great software releases and previews at the convention including the Shadowrun Hero Lab data set and the new Realm Works program designed to make a GMs job easier. They have stated that there will be plenty of demos going on along with regular updates including Pathfinder Ultimate Combat and the MAC version of Hero Lab. Their booth is located near the concessions and across from Entrepreneurs’ Avenue.
Map Location #21 – Margaret Weis Productions
Publisher: Margaret Weis Productions
Booth: 1619
Website: http://www.margaretweis.com/
Convention Information: I don’t know if Margaret Weis Productions has any fairly recent RPG products to feature as it appears their latest releases are novels and eBooks. Supernatural was their last system to come out and I’m sure there will be plenty of Cortex-powered products available for purchase. Their booth is located across from Kenzer & Company near Exhibit Hall H Entrance.

Other than Expeditious Retreat Press, I do not know which one of these publishers will physically be there. It appears that their booth will be stocked with all sorts of Old School goodies including the OSRIC hardcover core rulebook. Their booth is located in Entrepreneurs’ Avenue near the Art Show & Authors’ Avenue.
Map Location #24 – Paizo Publishing
Publisher: Paizo Publishing
Booth: 302

Their booth is located directly across from Exhibit Hall J Entrance.
Stay tuned-in tomorrow for the conclusion of The Big Overview and the final countdown to Gen Con. T-minus 3.5 days and counting… I hope to see everyone there!
P.S. Feel free to stop me and say “Hi” while you’re walking around. I’ll be working at the Triple Ace Games booth on Friday from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM and again on Saturday from 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM. I’d love to hear people’s opinions about some of the great products they found and even grab some pictures. Actually, I’d like to get lots of fan pictures with all the great products everyone is finding.
