I had the opportunity to go for 1 day. And I hit the Dealer room, not expecting to see much. But I did find it kind of interesting:
There were 3 Vendors of local Game Companies: Black Diamond Games, EndGame of Oakland, and some guy who didn't want to spend money on a banner from Santa Cruz.
There was also Flying Buffalo, Chessex, and Hero Games.
Not one Palladium Product. In fact, the guy at Santa Cruz didn't even know Palladium made a 2nd Edition of Robotech. And EndGame stated they will never carry Palladium product (probably a personal bias, I didn't get in it with him)
It is quite sad, usually the dealer room is packed with more RPG stuff. But this was small and sad. Even though it was a great crowd of players. Lots of Wargaming

Re: Dundracon
To put this in perspective, DunDraCon is the West Coast's longest running RPG convention (that I know of), running continuously over 37 years.

Re: Dundracon
I'm confused about the Endgame comment. Could we get some clarity on that one?
How DundraCon this year? How many PB games went off?

I talked to one of the guys from EndGame - I asked if he had any Palladium Books, he looked a little shocked. Pointed to his RPG section. He stated something like, this is what we brought, and was very adamant they didn't carry Palladium products.
As I said - I didn't get into it, and it was a 10 second conversation.
As for any PB games run this year - I didn't see one. There might have been a pickup game or two. But I was there for 1 day, and stuck in a 12 hour crappy D&D3.5 game with a newbie GM who didn't provide any characters.
