[QUOTE="CharlesRyan, post: 4881703, member: 5265"] There might be a bit of a misunderstanding here. WWDDGD is a retail event. It is run exclusively at retail sites*, not just in the UK but all over the world. For better or worse, organizing an event on this scale requires WotC to rely on the global network of retail sites; organizing individual sites on our own is simply not logistically possible. I'm well aware of the bitter irony that London, one of the world's greatest cities, is not home to any retail shops with sufficient space to host a WWDDGD event. But it's neither within my power, or part of my professional remit, to change that. * Now, I said "exclusively," but there are two exceptions. First, anybody can run a WWDDGD event by downloading the printed materials from WotC (or, indeed, doing any D&D-related activity they want). They just won't get the physical components that WotC provides to participating shops. Second, retailers are not required to hold the event onsite, and are more than welcome to work with clubs, groups, or individuals who can provide an alternative public venue. As long as the event is marketed through the shop and open to the public, we're happy to support it. So any club, group, or individual in London that wants to help host a WWDDGD site is more than welcome to contact a London retailer and work with them on it. In fact, that's exactly what we did, with Leisure Games, the years we ran a London Dungeon event. I'm sorry there are no shops with play space in London; I'd really love to see the event held there again. But London had a couple years of direct support, and now it's time to share the love with some other parts of the countryl So I guess it boils down to the "usual excuses," but I'm afraid that's just the reality of the situation.
