Welcome to you heard it here last, where we talk about news, you’ve already heard.
We start this week off with news about a game world that both Mike and Christina love. The World of Darkness.

Paradox Interactive announced that it was rebranding its World of Darkness group to White Wolf, with further plans to build out the group and shift much of its development efforts in-house. White Wolf was the name of the original publisher of Vampire: The Masquerade, Werewolf: The Apocalypse, and Mage: The Ascension. While the White Wolf name has been around behind the scenes, they have not official produced anything since 2006.
Mike, do you think this means we will see the World of Darkness games get a new edition and/or major face lift?

Christina, Does Jason Carl’s interview spark excitement about the future of White Wolf?
[Kick to Christina]
Now for more GenCon news that isn’t GenCon news.
UK Games Expo in Birmingham started in 2007 with 900 attendees. While primarily a board game convention the table top roleplaying side has continued to grow since it’s inception. This year the Expo pulled in 42,000 attendees. That makes it the 3rd largest gamine expo in the world behind Essen Spiel in Germany and GenCon in the US.
Now I bring this up because the online community loves to play Debbie Downer and if you spend all of your time in Reddit you might be thinking this year’s GenCon is going to be a bust. We have talked about this before with my belief that GenCon will once again be bigger then ever, and Mike and Christina talking about the ebb and flow of the convention year to year.
Mike, What do you make of UK Games Expo’s growth?
[Kick to Mike]
Christina, what’s this mean for the big picture of gaming?

And there you have it, all the news, you’ve already heard.
