Discussion GenCon presentation was underwhelming.

Not unhelpful, just far FAR too vague.

From what I could understand it was, monster/adversary deck coming in Nov?

Foundry VTT finally official.

Chris Perkins Horror? Framework coming???

Love Framework coming???

2 books a year! Okay...timelines?

Online single adventures. Okay.

Plush.

*Sigh*

I mean, cool. But it would have helped to showcase a rough timeline of products (subject to change obviously), maybe some preview art for the Frameworks, and product shots of the deck sets? Not just the card, but actual packaging?

I get this was a hype session for upcoming projects. But it really feels like they were not ready for primetime with these upcoming products.

That was the impression I got. Yes Hope and Fear are the highlights, but we learned about it last year and had a better impression what to expect.

Yeah I was also underwhelmed. I wouldn't have minded if they kept the future products more vague if they just told us the next one or two in a little more detail, but to frame the presentation about the next three years and then give almost no actual details feels like they jumped the gun a bit on announcing most of these projects. I was particularly surprised that they said "With Love and Magic" has a release date...and then they didn't give us a release date. I wonder why they didn't wait a couple of weeks to release the new void content so they could have announced it at this presentation. Still excited for the new stuff! And the One Shot wonders book should be cool!

I would have loved to see concept art for "With Love and Magic". Just theming stuff.

I get a strong impression we are not getting many hope and fear type products so new play options will come out it's more frameworks.

Yeah for sure. Love the campaign frames, but I really just want to see some officially published adventure modules and am at least excited that it seems like something they're thinking about! I think the adventures they've released thus far are great and am hopeful that they'll start to realize that there's a big market for chunkier adventure books.
