    D&D 5E Stormwreck Isle, the new D&D starter set will be available at GenCon!

    It's okay. I'm a very large and easy to find target for Target. I also always roll with advantage, have epic level resistances from 20 years of marriage and children, and my phylactery is beyond reach.

    D&D 5E Stormwreck Isle, the new D&D starter set will be available at GenCon!

    Nice. We'll have all kinds of fun things there. Including pretty much all the books from the past couple of years at great prices, some of the nice dice sets, the new Campaign Case (Monsters - not Terrain), Essentials kits, and maybe even a few cool surprises to look at. Booth #2810 - close to...

    D&D 5E Stormwreck Isle, the new D&D starter set will be available at GenCon!

    We have a lot of them for sale at the show but it would really bum me out (really really I tell ya) if we sold them all. So bummed I might have to cry into a beer Sunday night at my staff dinner over it.

    DDAL Lost Tales of Myth Drannor: DDAL's "Secret" D&D Book For Gen Con 50

    There is no way to buy these unless somebody who was given one (for whatever random reason) decides to sell them. Those of us who have the initial print of these (the AL Admins and myself are it I think) are not selling them. Ever. I see "Hey can somebody buy me one if they go to XXX" requests...

    DDAL Lost Tales of Myth Drannor: DDAL's "Secret" D&D Book For Gen Con 50

    Nice. I guess I'm sitting on my retirement fund in a box next to me (I wish). Just more cool stuff for me to hand out at Winter Fantasy to some random lucky people. Edit: Please do not DM me asking if I will give, sell, trade, or just out right beg for one please. These are show/social media...

    GenCon 50 AL review

    There was a special full page cert as part of the Hulburg special you should have received (which version depended on you having, or not having that previous story award from a prior Hulburg trilogy). Did you not receive that? If so we missed that (our bad) - send me who your DM was (as we are...

    DDAL Lost Tales of Myth Drannor: DDAL's "Secret" D&D Book For Gen Con 50

    This is going to be a lot harder to get then GoDC was. Just a fair warning. That book was for sale and they had thousands. This is a fun promo book that was done up as a reward with some extras for the AL Admins to hand out at various shows as they see fit. So there will not be a table with an...

    Origins Reclaims #3 Biggest Tabletop Gaming Convention Spot

    Winter Fantasy had 425 last year (our new high for the 3rd year straight). Which I am pretty happy with for a show focused almost entirely on D&D OP Play (we have only a few vendors for basics). Thinking of adding some new games this year though. We shall see how far I get with those plans once...

    Winter Fantasy Roll Call

    Do not adjust to much yet. We will be adding more tickets including at least 30-50 new tickets in Slot 1 and 2. That late Wednesday slot is becoming more and more popular each year so we are always surprised by that but more is on the way.

    What's up with GenCon?

    <dropping dimes dropping dimes> Okay only basketball fans and my 8 year old will get that one. Hey Gang, Dave here (The Baldman). Putting out some numbers to hopefully put out some misconceptions (if you still feel the same afterwards that is fine but I want it to be actual data). Gen Con...

    First legal 3rd party AL material announced

    It is another block but it is also quieter and closer to more food options quickly (having a Subway right downstairs is pretty awesome - I get a breakfast flatbread each morning and really carries me through the day and helps me avoid the crappy and expensive convention center prices).

    First legal 3rd party AL material announced

    Oh so much better then that. The D&D eXPerience @ Gen Con (old All Access program) will be in it's own room with 15 tables. The rest of the games will be in their own carpeted (floor, walls, and who knows maybe the ceiling) room with between 50-60 tables (still working out layouts). Nothing but...

    Winter Fantasy 2016 and D&D AL

    They will fill you in on SotDL if needed and have pre-gens for the game ready to go. Rob, the author, will be there helping run things and selling the book itself (so if you have fun wander over, shake his hand, and buy one).

    No WotC At Gen Con This Year?

    I (BMG) have requested a move from last year as noise was a reoccurring complaint (and problem) last year. I had no idea the moving of our space, plus the air-walls coming down, was going to increase the noise to the level it was this past year. The space caused a lot of issues this year and it...

    Winter Fantasy 2016 and D&D AL

    You will probably be hard pressed to find a show with more D&D AL goodness then Winter Fantasy. So here is the list of everything that we will be running at the show next February. Drool over if you want but we'd prefer you to show-up and play a ton of D&D, hang out with admins, show staff...

    Exclusive Adventures for DnDAL

    It may be surprising (well maybe to nobody) but I come down on the side of conventions (because that is what I do and spend a lot of time working on). I totally agree with the poster that community is formed at the store level. Been promoting that for years. What I try to do is take that one...

    D&D 5E Does anyone have the book yet?

    My phone does not like this forum and adding a picture. If you go to the Baldman Games Facebook or Twitter I threw the picture up there last week. I'll have more cool pics to post in oh I don't know 8 days.
