[QUOTE="Abstruse, post: 9079087, member: 6669048"] Baldman Games running Adventurers League games and having a booth to sell books is NOTHING compared to the Wizards of the Coast presence at Gen Con before. I mean they owned the convention for a good chunk of time (Peter Adkison took Gen Con ownership with him when he left WotC), and basically all the big streaming events they've done over the years with the sets and the props and all that used to be done at Gen Con. The last year they were there, they took over an entire chunk of the convention hall to make a big castle set to hold all the organized play events (including one huge one where all the tables were playing in the same adventure collaboratively) along with a museum exhibit of D&D stuff including a statue of Drizzt that was about 15 feet tall (including the pedestal) along with life-size drider and beholder statues. Just having organized play games on the schedule isn't the same thing as D&D [I]being there[/I] the same way it was in the past. [/QUOTE]
