@darjr can I just say your efforts at keeping folks informed is appreciated.

They mention the Learn to Play and Dungeon Master Camp events! Finally! And…. GenCon?!

At least it appears they are trying to keep people informed. I like that they are looking at placing older editions on CCommons.

They announce several conventions that they will be attending in an official capacity too

Looking forward to the D&D direct. Betting we will get a look at the VTT there.

It's nice to see these efforts ongoing, although I suspect the convention stuff was always planned to help them ramp up the 50th anniversary hype.
