[QUOTE="Kinak, post: 6678578, member: 6694112"] Our group was curiously split. We have some old-timers (both coming with us and folks we hang out with at the Con every year) and some newer gamers. The newer gamers didn't much care, but they also had no contact with 5e at the Con other than hearing oldtimers talk about it. They demoed plenty of games and bought lots of new stuff, just all in the exhibit hall, where D&D wasn't. The old-timers were either disappointed or resigned to it after having been disappointed previous years. One was straight-up furious at WotC when they announced the movie literally the day after GenCon. Even the old-timers who run 5e were disappointed in the lack of presence and seminars. I also ended up chatting to some exhibitors who were totally confused by WotC's lack of presence. Not angry, just like "did I somehow miss the WotC booth? Because I can't imagine they're not here." So, while I'm sure some people were happy, you're not the only one who was disappointed with WotC's approach to the con. Cheers! Kinak [/QUOTE]
