Ok, if we are getting weekly episodes, I can definitely live with waiting another 2 weeks for them. I wonder how many there will be? Rv B normally has 20 a season, but since these are all scratch-animated, It'll probably be shorter.

I found another picture. There are a lot of emblems, world maps and character sketches at the back of the room.

Look to the sketches. You'll see a pink haired girl with a long, cape-like coat tail over the side of her leg. That's the same coat tail that this girl has. She's actually pink and not red?

[up][up][up][up] There's only one kind of romance I want happening in RWBY. I guess there's still a way to make it cliche, but it's still better by default.

I've found someone who saw RTX and posted spoilers of the setting and the first two episodes.

The only thing I'll say is that the weapon masters are called Huntsmen. Huntresses are the women.

Oh, the RTX panel was uploaded.

Found this on tumblr. Make of it as you will. I'm gonna assume its reliable. As far as confirmation goes, the existence of the stuff that starts with a "d", as well as it being Magic by Any Other Name are mentioned at the panel.

The world looks like a good cross between magic and tech. Dust (vaguely reminiscent of Magicite) was used to fight back the forces of darkness and build civilization, though according to the Ominous Opening Monologue, darkness may be making a comeback.

But we have a civilization in which Dust is bought and sold in shops, kind of a magitech world. In the first episode, what looks to be a gang of some sort holds up a Dust shop. Ruby (who acts and talks like she’s maybe thirteen) prevents the robbery, but the gang boss gets away. We are also introduced to a class of people called Huntresses/Huntsmen, magic users/fighters whose purpose is to fight monsters. Because of her fighting skills exhibited in stopping the heist, she is offered early entry into a prestigious academy for Huntresses, which she’ll be attending with Yang. Episode one ends with arrival at the academy.

Episode two starts with Yang running off (big sister of the year, there) and Ruby getting overwhelmed and taking a tumble into Weiss’ luggage. Weiss bitches her out - there really is no other phrase for it - lectures her on Dust, and yells at her to be more careful. Blake shows up long enough to reveal that Weiss is the heiress to a large corporation that mines and refines Dust and is also known for controversial labor practices and shady business partners. She sticks around long enough to take Weiss down a few pegs and walks off. Weiss flounces off too, and the part of this episode we saw ends around there.

It’s not what the trailers make it out to be, and I’m rather happy about that. I’m actually looking forwards to it more, now that we’ve seen more of the characters and the world.

In the RTX, they said it's called Dust. You can use Dust in your weapons, but you don't need Dust for your weapon.

When one of the questionnaires asked "What's your favorite weapon to come up with?" Monty said "You haven't seen it yet."

Right before the video ended, Monty revealed that RWBY will have an anime-like intro for its episodes.

Rwby Technology Panel, minus the episodes.

It is here that Monty confirms that the version of episode 2 that was shown at RTX is unfinished, and that if episode 1 was released to the public on the fifth, they would not be able to maintain a weekly release schedule.

That explains the delayed premier to the public.

Another picture of the characters. One of the guys looks like Cross Marian from D Gray Man.

Barbara mentioned something about it on the podcast, i thibk sponsors get it at 6 PM CST, and the public at 7 PM CST. Not entirely sure if that's accurate.
