Hey, folks!

For those of you (us) attending Gen Con this August, I thought I'd share that the Realms Seminar and Spin a Yarn have finally been scheduled. The GameIDs have direct links to the pages for these events, but require you to be logged into the Gen Con registration system.

Both of those sound pretty awesome... I wonder what 'secrets and upcoming events' mean.

It's actually the same description they've used previous years.

I actually DO know everything. I just have a very poor index of my knowledge.

Hmm, one of my events (1-5 pm) butts up against the seminar, but we might actually be done by 4. We'll see!

Cheers

It's definitely intriguing... can I order transcripts anywhere?

Playing in the Realms since the Old Grey Box (1987)... and *still* having fun with material published before 2008, despite the NDA'd lore.

If it's comparable in power with non-magical abilities, it's not magic.

Oops, left a Realms-related one out. Silly me.

For those that are looking for other WotC seminars, they're listed this year under "Wizards of the Coast, LLC," not under "Wizards of the Coast" (which has the various RPGA and Magic: The Gathering events). Interesting to note that there's a Dark Sun seminar, but no Eberron this year; make of that what you will.

Matt, did those SpinAYarn tickets really cost 2 bucks each? Because I just can't imagine Ed wanting to charge, or taking any money.
Wonder if he knows . . .

The tickets are indeed $2.00 each.

I can also confirm, from previous experience, that Ed has absolutely zero control over anything relating to the Spin a Yarn seminar (duration, location, cost, or basically anything else) up until the moment he enters the room. All event details are determined by Wizards (who set up the event) and by Gen Con (who provide the space).
