Any news from Origins?

[Fat Guy]

Origins kicks off today. Anybody in attendance with anything they'd like to share, please do so here.

[Peter Smith]

I suspect Dragonfire will be the talk of the CGL booth.

[Dragon41673]

Probably a LOT of Dragonfire...but Second Succession Wars looks to be dropping there since there are images of the book at the con.

[Dulahan]

What are the special dice this year?

[wolfspider]

Is DragonFire a DnD supplement or a stand alone game?

[Lorcan Nagle]

Is DragonFire a DnD supplement or a stand alone game?

Standalone game using a system based on Shadowrun Crossfire, IIRC

[wolfspider]

OK I guess that could work. Another thing and maybe I am just being paranoid but I notice that the posters on the pictures I have seen don't have the poster from the warhammer and marauder from the combat manuals just the old mech from the last starter box. Did you guys change direction?

[sadlerbw]

I'm headed up Friday morning. I'll see if I can pick up a copy of 2SW before I hit the tables and find out what is in the mini TRO if that still isn't answered by then.

[I am Belch II]

No news on new stuff?

[sadlerbw]

Got 2SW in front of me. Mini TRO has GRF-1S, TDR-5L and -5LS, BLR-1D.

[wolfspider]

Thanks it may help prove a theory of mine  ;)

[ANS Kamas P81]

How's the Classic Thud look?

[Tymers Realm]

Got 2SW in front of me. Mini TRO has GRF-1S, TDR-5L and -5LS, BLE-1D.

Well that's cool. We get the Steiner Griffin and two new Thunderbolt variants. But for the life of me, I don't recognize the last one.

You mean beyond it being shown on the Cover of 2SW and a line art of it, on a AS Card, in the Crescent Hawks Spotlight PDF?

If you are taking questions, can you tell us anything about the intro where someone in character discusses the book?

[nckestrel]

Typo...Try BLR-1D.

[Tymers Realm]

Typo...Try BLR-1D.

Well that makes more sense. So we then get the Davion Battlemaster. Cool.
I was planning on getting the 2SW pdf anyways, but the mini TRO settles it.

Not sure what you want t know, but it looks like it starts with a story told from the POV of Conrad Toyama. Also, I fixed my BLR mistake.

In first succession war, right after the story it had an "introduction" on page 8 by a paladin on Terra 3150. She makes comments about how the wall is still up and they have commissioned two primers on the succession wars. I'm curious what happens in this book.

[sadlerbw]

The intro is by paladin Constance McGuire in 3150, but doesn't say much of anything about what is going on in the present. However, there is a sidebar addressed to the ilKahn saying this document was peovided to them by the exarch. The note is from lore master Stephan roshak. Is that what you meant?

Roshak is a Jade Falcon Blood Name.

Post 3150....ilkhan...roshak bloodname.....think about the possibilities....

Yes, that's what we are looking for :)  Any date on that sidebar though?

[Weirdo]

So we have an IlKhan and an Exarch, and they're either on the same side our at least friendly enough to share historical documents. We also have a high-ranking guy with a Falcon BloodName, though we've no indication if he's a Falcon, a former Falcon bondsman, or a descendant of the Falcons that joined the Republic.

For the sake of simplicity, I'm willing to assume he's not a Spheroid with a distant relation to the Falcons pre-Exodus or a coincidental last name, along the lines of the Lyran Malthuses.

[Decoy]

Well, a quick search of my FM: 3145 PDF, Era: Dark Ages PDF, and 3145 Digest PDF doesn't find any Stephan Roshaks....but that doesn't mean much. ><

[Tai Dai Cultist]

Sadface to see a beautiful theory in "the Exarch becomes the ilKhan" die.

Or maybe it still could be one really insane individual, and his staff either plays along or doesn't realize the two different people never actually appear in person in the same room at the same time...

[bobthecoward]

It is funny that the one person who came to share about 2sw was totally indifferent to our crazy intro obsession.

[YingJanshi]

Um...I thought Ray said in the "New and Upcoming Releases" thread that the intro story was to be set in 3250? Is that not correct?

Unknown. We don't have the exact wording and sadlerbw who has the book probably thinks we are crazy.

He did say 3150 tho.
