This year at Origin, the dealer room's presence saw a bit of reduction. Noteable absences are Wizards of Coast, Upper Deck Entertainment, NCsoft, Eden, and Guardians of Order. AEG's booth is also a mere shadow of what it was, after the mass layout from last October. It was very sad to hear most of the people I know got the axe last Oct.
Somehow, this didn't prevent me from buying lots of stuff anyway.
- Privateer Press: Witchfire Trilogy Collected Edition, Five Fingers: Port of Deceit
- Hero Games: Asian Bestiary, Vol. 1, Asian Bestiary, Vol. 2, Masterminds And Madmen
- Archaia Studios Press: Artesia, Artesia Afield, Artesia Afire, Artesia: Adventures in the Known World
- Green Ronin: Mastermind's Manual, Freedom City Second Edition, Lockdown, the M&M GM Screen, True20 Adventure Roleplaying, True Sorcery, True20 Bestiary, D20 Future Player's Companion, Cosmo The Blue Monkey
- FanPro: Runner Havens
- White Wolf: Exalted Second Edition, Exalted Second Edition Storyteller Companion
- Indie RPGs: Polaris, Mountain Witch
Polaris is interesting in that, it's the first diceless RPG I've ever bought. G made me do it, if it sucks, I blame him. The game does look interesting so far, it reminds me of many nights of endless debates I used to have with M. The game heavily draw on rhetorics.
I'm also quite curious about Mountain Witch. Can't wait to unleash this on my group.
This is also the year that I started looking at indie RPGs. In the past, I've always played mainstream stuff. But this year, I got three indie games: Artesia, Polaris, and Mountain Witch. In fact, Artesia won Origin's Best RPG of 2006.
