[QUOTE="felwred, post: 6890166, member: 6805714"] It seems I am in the strange place of agreeing with Pauper here :) Yes - there will be 200 hours of content. How many hours of content that we couldn't get at our local game shop? That's the point of going to Gencon is to experience things you can't get locally. No epic is a huge miss on AL's part. Baldman's new adventures are a plus and moving the venue was a requirement (many of us would have never done AL again at Gencon if you hadn't moved it after last year's belly-flop.) WOTC is trying to make due with virtually no budget - that's why they wouldn't spend the money to sponsor (Origins is hugely less expensive). Premiers are nice but we'll get access to them via DMsGuild/ our local shops within a few weeks of the con so that isn't a big deal now. Baldman is running, by my count, 3 new adventures that won't be usual local store fare for each tier. That's 9 events, not 200. I'm not even aware of any author only events being announced.
