Someone on Liz's Discord sent a photo of the Webbed Sphere booth. Nothing special; draped tables and stacks of books. Kind of a placeholder booth, but it is important that the line has representation; perhaps WS hasn't had time to put together a proper plan yet.
P.S. Booth 1607.

So, I'm guessing no news at all.
How disappointing. If you were going to have something to talk about with your newly acquired property, GENCON is the place to talk about it. If you don't have a high level marketing buzz plan that can be shared with your fanbase...that doesn't sound terribly promising.

Do you think we will get an idea of what's planned for the World's Greatest RPG anytime this year?

Do you think we will get an idea of what's planned for the World's Greatest RPG anytime this year? I believe Ken and Steve will keep us in the loop as best they can. Steve, and presumably Ken, are both going to remain in the know with regard to the future of the game. As always, of course? This is all idle speculation and reality may be completely different than what I’m supposing.

Two publicly noted data points;
* Ken noted on his Twitter that some negotiations were still underway for Trollhalla items.
* The guy who took the picture of the webbed sphere booth said that he chatted with the folks in the booth. They said they were still looking over the inventory and early in planning.
Speculation: Remember that Flying Buffalo had a substantial inventory of books, accessories, dice, etc. It seems logical that WS will want to start selling this ASAP to they can start to make money off of their investment. Before that can happen, all of the existing items need to be tallied, issued SKUs for WS's sale system, prices set, websites updated, and so on.
I can't blame them for not immediately jumping into new product plans!

This is all idle speculation and reality may be completely different than what I’m supposing. We also have to face the fact that Ken, Steve, & Liz are not getting any younger. (Nor are any of us!) They're at that age where we may lose them to the next great adventure. Hopefully the IP is in hands that care... Much as I hope they do keep us informed, and are around many more happy years, we may not have them to do so much longer.

Heeeyyyyy, Steve is younger than I am! :-) (By a few months, but still . . . )

I just had a bit of a cancer scare myself, so death has been on my mind. And, Stefan, I suspect you're a few years older than me. Then again, in the 1980's, I expected a nuclear war in the 00's...

I realize it’s a big job taking over another company. But I’ve always lived by the philosophy that doing nothing is typically the worst choice in most situations.
Even if WS has no real information to give us, it would be really nice to have some kind of news from them. They don’t have to give us any hard news, release dates, edition numbers, or anything like that. Perhaps just a quick we’re going to carry this legacy forward etc. pep talk.
This is not intended as a criticism of WS (or anyone else) in any way. I’m just stating my opinion as to what I, a fan of the game, would like to see from the new owners.

There has been a tiny update to the website promising some bundles soon, but that's all I've heard from them.
