Looks like Margret Weiss will be releasing a new version of the Firefly RPG. Randy ran the old one, Serenity. We also played at Gen Con one year. I picked up the main books in print and and have them all (supplements and adventures) in PDF.
The games sound very similar. Here is a brief description from their blog page:
"the Serenity RPG was based only on the movie and the game rules were Cortex Classic. The Firefly RPG is based on the TV show and the game rules are Cortex Plus. Our development was heavily focused on the television show and streamlining the game rules so that it'd be super easy for any Browncoat to play."
What is the interest level from the group in playing this? Looks like they plan to release the Core Book in February 2014 and start releasing 10 digital oneshot adventures beginning in September 2013.

I am going to pre-order a copy of the preview book and pick it up at Gen Con. That will give me a free PDF after the convention and a 20% discount off the rulebook. (Buying directly from them also gets a copy of the PDF of that book.)
On behalf of Kara:
