SoulCatcher78:
First off, thank you for splitting into two books.  I picked up the Pathfinder rulebook (575 pages) last year and it's just a hassle to deal with a book that large (I tend to doze off when reading in bed and nearly brained my wife with that thing).

Second, have you settled on a price point yet?  For group play I would like to have more than one core book on hand (I don't like sharing my rulebook which is likely to have notes written in the margins, etc), especially for the character generation portion.  Pricing may make this difficult so the more notice I have, the more likely I am to be able to talk another player (or myself) into picking up another copy.

Third, there are several of us on the Gen Con forums anxiously awaiting a chance to play this game.  Is there any chance of the preorder going live before Origins?  If so, how soon would this be likely to happen?

That was spooky...no sooner did I finish this off then I get a twitter about the new blogpost with all the answers.

Rechan:
Do Minions exist in the DFRPG? And, are they severely lethal or can they be taken out without imminent death?

There are instances where Harry has faced minions: (click to show/hide)Zombies from Dead Beat. The phages at Arctis Tor in Proven Guilty. The ghouls on the ship in White Night. The fey thingies that invaded the train station in Small Favor. Binder's friends in Turn Coat.

Nope. Everything is dangerous. If you want to model a weak/easily disposed group, it's better to just treat that as a single character or as a challenge.  SOTC's minions rules are more... pulpy.

Rechan:
If I recall, Demons (like Chauncy and the Toad Demon) are just entities from the Nevernever.

So what separates them from anything else in the Nevernever? Why is summoning a Demon something bigger than say, whipping out a fey or whatever it is Binder was calling up? Why are Demons bad news?

Are we given examples of any monsters that haven't appeared in the books? If our players have read them all, is there anything we'll have to surprise them from the Goes Bump chapter? :)
