Publisher: Fat Dragon Games
\nBooth: 809
\nWebsite: http:\/\/www.fatdragongames.com\/fdgfiles\/<\/a>
\nConvention 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.<\/p>\n

Map Location #16 – Gaming Paper<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

Publisher: Gaming Paper
\nBooth: 1456

\n

Publisher: Green Ronin Publishing
\nBooth: 965
\nWebsite: http:\/\/www.greenronin.com\/<\/a>
\nConvention 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.<\/p>\n

Publisher: Atomic Overmind Press
\nWebsite: http:\/\/atomicovermind.com\/blog\/<\/a>

\n

Publisher: Kenzer & Company
\nBooth: 1519
\nWebsite: http:\/\/www.kenzerco.com\/<\/a>
\nConvention 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?).

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.<\/p>\n

Other than Expeditious Retreat Press, I do not know which one of these publishers will physically be there.

\n

Publisher: Paizo Publishing
\nBooth: 302
\nWebsite: http:\/\/paizo.com\/paizo<\/a>

Maybe we’ll catch some glimpses of Ultimate Combat or their upcoming starter box. You can be sure that they will have plenty of great products for sale. Their booth is located directly across from Exhibit Hall J Entrance.<\/p>\n

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>\n

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.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
