Well, I assume most of you guys are there, and not likely to see this until Monday, but any news you wish to share is much appreciated.

I saw the new Omega mini announcement, sculpt looks pretty sweet. Anyone pick one up yet?

Also, Chas reported on the CBT boards that Leviathans showed up and was sold out in one hour. Anybody get a copy?  If so, congrats!  :)

I'm thinking about heading up there tomorrow, after my wife gets off work. I can buy a day-pass for $10, but I can't actually play in a canon event or anything with just that right? I'd need an actual "badge" in order to play in anything other than a demo game?

I'm not there either.  I did see on the btech board a pic of the new faction dice.  They look pretty cool.

Yeah, the dice are sweet. Will get at least one of these at Gen Con. The Omega is real nice, it is like $50 at Origins and gets cheaper the closer it gets to Gen Con. Will definitely try and pick up a Leviathans set at Gen Con.

Yes, the 10 dollar badge is the exhibit hall only one.  You'll have to get a full 1 day pass to play in games.

The omega is being cast off of the master, which is the reason for the high price to cover damage to it.  It was 50 yesterday, I think its less today or tomorow, and even less at gencon.

So, did anyone snag the Leviathans starter set? How sets of dice did everyone get. They look great. Can't wait for Gen Con. Definitely getting a set of dice, at least one and the Leviathans.

I missed out on the leviathans box set unfortunately.  When I checked at 10:15 it hadn't arrived yet and when I checked back at 12:45 it had already sold out.  I did buy a set of all of the faction dice and then a spare pair of Clan Wolf dice, so I could get one of the promotional Cameron dice.  I also picked up Era Report: 2750, which I have mixed feelings on.  I think the book has a lot of excellent content in it, but it really could've used another proof reading.
