08-14-06, 05:13 PM Does anyone know (esp. campaign staff) -- is the LG GenCon special ever available for home play, or is that option usually reserved for the Origins special?

I've had a someone ask me a question about the special, but I didn't want to answer right away in case it could be played at a later date...

08-14-06, 07:51 PM CORS6-03 Shadows of the Dread Spiral will be available at the (I believe) seven 'Extended Premiere' shows listed on the RPGA website. It won't be available for home play (unless something drastic changes very quickly!) but spoilers should be avoided until after November 19th when it stops playing at GenCon So Cal.

08-15-06, 10:40 AM Here they be Dragons was available for homeplay. I would think it would be very possible to have the LG special at Gencon to be available.

Most of the Specials are grinders, which can work well for homeplay. It seems feesable to see these mods playable at home before too long.

HTBD was the Origins Special; it's the Origins Special that had been "revised" for home play for several years, probably because, in prior years, there wasn't a "program" to give the Origins Special a wider release. The WF and GC Specials, OTOH, are part of the Extended Premiere program, as pedr notes, and that's how those modules get "wider release". Don't count on 'em getting wider than that.
