We tattle to WoTC at GenCon , and catch some of the details about their upcoming D&D titles , as well as what ’s go on with Magic : The assemblage over the next few days .
Neverwinter remove the note of being the first city in D&D ’s history to have a sourcebook devoted only to it .

Meanwhile , over in the world of trick : The gather , nothing was specifically announced at GenCon , but interest was starting to build over the forthcoming Innistrad expansion . This repugnance theme fix is a expiration from the “ witching - punk ” feel of the current sack , and more towards iconic colossus . With a decided Hammer Horror vibration , Wizards ’ Adam Colby tell me we could expect a feeling reminiscent of Bela Lugosi epoch vampire , wolfman , and Frankenstein ’s monsters . While they were n’t showing off anything ar Gen Con , PAX Prime is when a big declaration is exit to strike , and Colby promised that everyone would fittingly wow . At the same time , there will be an update for the popular Dual of the Planeswalkers video game , bringing some of the Innestrad card and mechanic to the digital realm .
