Hey Jamie thanks for the report!
SO.VERY.GLAD that the RPG books will be at GenCon... in person! It only took a marathon of hard work and lots and lots o' stress... Easy peasy... 
Have you seen the books?! Held 'em yet?!! Huh?? Huh??!! Have ya? HAVE YA?!!!!
Not that I'm in any way jumping up and down with curiosity or anything...
Have a great time, say howdy to Renae and Margaret for me, and pimp that book. Oh yeah, and give Ron a kiss for me. (See? Now you have a cover story.... )
SEND PICTURES.
Toodles,
S

Well I got mine and I also got in the Serenity Q&A tonight. I got to say the art looks good and the system has some merits. I am working through the mechanics. But I am just happy to have the details.
I have one question will we be getting any other support materials for the game? And if so. When and what and if not why?

Wow... great news that the books arrived safe and sound. Can't wait to see them in person myself. Always a bit concerned about how the "translation" of the images made it through all the levels of uploading and publication processes. Good to hear that it looks good.

I believe there are definitely more plans for additional, related items. One of the factors is that licensees only have a limited amount of products they can produce at a time. New agreements need to be set up for additional, approved products. So the thing is to pick the main things first, and then work on from there.
Also, from what I understand, the plan from Universal/Joss is to not have too many licensed products. Having too many product tie-ins starts to work against their "specialness".

According to GamingReport.com:
"The Serenity RPG from Margaret Weis Productions has sold out of all hardcover books at about 10:30 this morning (Friday) at GenCon 2005. The publisher is sending them 150 softcovers which are expected to arrive tommorow by noon. Serenity is being released at the end of September."
Man I KNEW I shoulda driven out there. Still wouldna been able to do it Friday, though!
Ack!

May have been on the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

We started Thursday with 500 hardcover books. When the hall opened a stampede of excited Browncoats overtook our booth with enthusiasm that completely overwhelmed and humbled me--creating a line that wrapped around our booth and crossed over three aisles. I signed books for hours and the line never seemed to end.
Naturally, most of Thursday was a blur. When the hall closed, a quick inventory revealed that we had less than forty books left! Every box was empty, and only what was already out on the racks remained. Those last books were gone half an hour into the show on Friday.
We've commissioned a special softcover printing of the book to let us get more books in the hands of fans for the weekend. It will only be a few hundred, but it's something for folks who really want to see the game!
This afternoon we have the honor of hosting Mr. Ron Glass in our booth, who has been friendly and gracious to the fans who have visited him in the general autograph area.
Game demos continue, so you can expect to hear soon how the game plays as well as how it looks. The feedback so far has been very enthusiastic.
Thanks all! Talk to you soon. For now, it's back to work.

Wow, that's great news! Heehee, Browncoats can be overwhelming at times. ;) Can't wait to get my hands on this book myownself! I hope the long line at the booth is getting the attention of non-browncoat attendees. As in "What am I missing here?" Great work, guys!
