Post-Free RPG Day and -Origins, I need to update my watchlist for Gen Con.

Definite Purchases (unless I get them before the con)

• The Dreadful Secrets of Candlewick Manor (for Monsters and Other Childish Things)
• A Dirty World (by Greg Stolze) (if I can find it)
• Bendy Dungeon Walls, and other products (from Dark Platypus Studios)
• Pocket Ultimate Power (for Mutants & Masterminds) (I know that a friend has pre-ordered this through Amazon as a belated birthday present.)

• Geist (new World of Darkness game from White Wolf) (The quick start book available at Free RPG Day essentially sold me on this.)
• Flip Mats (from Paizo)
• Monsters and Other Childish Things core rulebook (from Arc Dream)
• Necessary Evil Explorer's Edition (for Savage Worlds) (Purchased this at Origins.)

• Rogue Trader (Warhammer 40K-based RPG from Fantasy Flight) (Enjoyed the Free RPG Day quick start, but money is limited. Would like to see how it plays. I'm signed up for a Dark Heresy session at the con, which uses the same rules.)

Jamie and I ventured out to Origins Game Fair today and returned with lots of good stuff. Between us, we procured:

Gambling? I'm In, pre-release edition, from Slug Fest Games (a preview of an upcoming traditional card game set that can be played in conjunction with Red Dragon Inn)
Bendy Dungeon Walls, from Dark Platypus Studio (really awesome hinged plastic dungeon terrain)
Hearts Swords Flowers, a shoujo supplement for Big Eyes Small Mouth
Necessary Evil Explorer's Edition, for Savage Worlds, signed by designer Clint Black
Fantasy Companion Explorer's Edition, for Savage Worlds, also signed by Clint Black
Angel Director's Screen
Buffy Director's Screen
GURPS Greece
GURPS Swat
GURPS Cops
GURPS Spirits
GURPS WWI: All the King's Men
