My Comiccon ticket is for Sunday, but I wasn't planning on attending this year with Covid upticking. Then I saw this and was like, "Maybe I'll go." Then I saw that it was every day BUT Sunday and was like, "Never mind." Besides, as my wife reminded me, if I did go on Sunday it would be alone, as she and our son will be on a boat to Catalina. I suppose I really ought to go with them.

My reading of the announcement is that the Tavern is SDCC adjacent. If you live close you can go without an SDCC ticket.

2.5 hours each way... Hmm. Now I'm tempted again!

If anyone goes post photos please

one could argue that as GenCon and D&D have been almost inextricably linked together since the founding of each (implying that each has some small inherent duty to the other)

That's not how professional Conventions work.

Good luck getting in. Don't know what the pandemic has done to ticket sales, but it used to be even day passes were sold out within minutes of going on sale, and that was months ago. I assume it's still the situation. But maybe not?

Oh, my hall H days are long past me, I was more thinking of going to the tavern since it's downtown. That said, it wouldn't surprise me if the Tavern itself did the traveling pop-up thing to other cities.

I just looked up San Deigo and it describes itself as "America's craft beer capital" so that tavern is probably worth visiting.

When you consider that a) one could argue that as GenCon and D&D have been almost inextricably linked together since the founding of each (implying that each has some small inherent duty to the other), and b) there's also a big M:tG presence there with many tournaments etc. run by non-WotC people of IME and IMO marginal competence at best, it seems more than passing strange that WotC has abandoned GenCon to its 3rd-party contractors.

Not really? GenCon is a business, they charge vendors to be there, and every vendor has to decide if it's worth the money to be there or not. Wizards decided a while back that the convention circuit doesn't work for them, their staff isn't trained to do it well, and so isn't worth the expense to do, so they let Baldman Games be their reps at conventions for D&D and Pasttimes be their reps at conventions for MtG. Games get run by people who are pros at running games at conventions, they get the visibility for their product, they're not running a vendor booth (which experience at Origins in the past tells me they were very, very bad at doing), and everyone basically wins. (also their logo doesn't get slapped on everything and they don't get accused of dominating the con and pushing smaller companies out - which they often were accused of back when they actually had a significant con presence).

Well, you can't drink the water there, so beer is fairly necessary.

I couldn't have predicted the Guardians of the Galaxy being a big hit before Iron Man came out (largely because I had never heard of them).

I think the zeitgeist is so variable at the moment that it's very hard to predict anything but "this movie will definitely not make much money" (hello Crimes of the Future, though I will go and see it when it opens in the UK, to hell with the philistines!) or "this movie will make at least a solid amount of money". Even with franchises like the MCU two equally-good/bad movies may make wildly different amounts of money

Here it's hard to predict anything without a trailer, because it's all going to come down to chemistry and whether it seems fun.

Yup, big variable. But it astounds me that I still see people assuming the 200 movie is a relevant precedent for how this will do, considering how different this production is.
