DDXP to be in Pittsburgh next year

[fba827]

I, too, am dissapointed by the move since that means I won't get to go after all. But ah well, it is what is it.

Pittsburgh is a great town (Go STEELERS!), but everyone is jumping the gun:

At Gen Con Indy this year, we announced a date and location for D&D Experience in 2009. The location and plans for the show are changing, and the previously announced date and location are no longer valid. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. We will have an updated announcement in September regarding D&D Experience in 2009.

Awesome news, if it's true.

I'll actually get to attend DDXP without having to resist the urge to jerk my car into a bridge abutment due to DC traffic.

but everyone is jumping the gun:

Well, not jumping the gun so much as just reacting to what was announced

Good news as I guess it means it could be back in the DC metro area again (or somewhere else that I would consider going )

The newest update is welcome news. Valentine's Day weekend would have been atrocious scheduling.

Ya know, I started this other thread on how WotC would say one thing...then change their mind...

Anyways, I updated the first post, and, for me at least, this is one of those "promises" worth breaking.

Unless you have a wife gamer

Ah, but I do have a gamer wife and I still wouldn't blow off Valentine's Day for gaming.

I like gaming, but I love my wife. And breathing.

They could always move it to Canada - to put the Winter Fantasy part back into D&D XP

Hopefully this won't be the case. I was able to go out to DC last year with the girlfriend, and we saw the city in addition to getting some gaming in.

We definitely wouldn't be going to Pittsburgh. No offense to ENWorlders from there, but I just don't think I can sell that kind of trip with flight prices the way they are. Too bad.
