D&D General More performances and panelists revealed for D&D Fan Expo in London

Earlier this year, the official D&D Fan Expo at London's 02 Arena was announced. The two-day event is set for Friday 21st-Saturday 22nd, and will feature interactive elements, panels, and special guests.

D&D Actual play group The High Rollers were announced back in February for the Friday, and Dungeon Master Jasmine Bhullar is running a game on the Saturday on stage in the main arena.

A bunch of new British appearances have just been announced, including YouTube influencer D&D Shorts, the London D&D venue RPG Taverns, podcasters Roll Britannia, live-players It's Your Role, and miniature painter (as in a painter of miniatures, not a tiny painter) Johnny Ghiodini.

You can get tickets for D&D Fan Expo in London here.

Absolutely wild that someone with those ethics is their "featured panelist"

I assume it's because he has half a million subscribers to his channel...?

@SothFan I'm not talking about his political positions.
I'm talking about someone who even though he was on the same side of the OGL scandal I was used his very large platform to unethically invent quotes and attribute them to people who worked at Wizards. He then used his viral status to completely fabricate the idea that D&D designers never read customer feedback via surveys.

I don't give a damn about his positions on tax policy.

I care that his status is built on misinformation and deceit

I don’t know which person from the list you’re referring to, but whoever it is I guess WotC doesn’t have an issue with him, even if they did do the things you said.

They may care very little about that (and I'm assuming we are talking about DND Shorts, here). Dan Ayoub is on a "mend the fences" tour and getting the biggest YouTube channel on their side has the potential to recapture a huge audience. It's the younger crowd, and that's a huge win after bringing Luke Gygax back into their orbit for the older crowd.

It's a smart strategy, even though I hate literally everything about it (except Luke, he seems pretty cool).

Many in the "influencer space" seem to fit this, if I am understanding the person you are not naming to be the correct one.

The person listed as the featured presenter in the graphic on the story you wrote is DnD Shorts who admitted to all of the above during the OGL scandal

Alright, I'll bite: I must have been living under a rock, but I honestly do not know: what is this alleged 'DnD Shorts controversy' that people are supposedly referring to here ?
