D&D 5E D&D / WotC and GenCon

[pedr]

They are listed on the WotC site though. Some seem to be wondering if there'll be more info or more events to come, but I'm not sure.

 

[Lanefan]

The preliminary event catalog is out and no WotC events are on it yet.

If memory serves, this is about par for the course: with a few exceptions WotC events always seem to show up late...which can make planning one's Con a serious p-i-t-a.

It is my understanding that delays in the past have been due to WotC being late in submitting the events. This time Baldman Games (that runs the D&D events) says they have already been submitted and are in the Gencon system. So who knows?

Here is the D&D list of events.
Those that are over-reacting should probably simmer down.
You can't register until next weekend, so WotC isn't late. They just weren't as early as GenCon was.

People are overreacting, but it is kind of strange that Gencon has the events but are not putting them in the event list, and they aren't really saying why.

This one is interesting:

Defiance in Phlan

The Cult of the Dragon has come to Phlan, a refuge town on the Moonsea. Participate in any one of five different missions aimed at stopping the cult from securing a foothold in the city.

Run Time: 1 hour

So, a test run of the concept of the 1 hour sessions.

Looks like it, i am curious how it will play out...

I'm guessing this might be the "Dungeon Delve" for the Con. There's one of 5 missions you can do. That way you can play the delve 5 times and get a different experience each time.

WOTC likes to have one adventure that is quick and people can just line up for and they are taken as soon as people are ready.

Overreacting?

I don't think people are overreacting at all. WotC, who owns the D&D intellectual property, which most of us hold dear, are once again playing the secrecy card about what they are doing. Those of us that are "overreacting" are simply voicing our concern that we are left in the dark on where the game is going (or coming)... especially since this version was a very community driven effort.

Nah, it just sounds like overreacting. They will release info when they are good and ready. Let the custodians exercise custody.
