I hope there will be extensive and exhaustive education on the subjects of theological (and by extension, literary) canon, artillery cannon and the very clear and manifold differences between these.
It hurts my brain like the screeching made by scratching nails across chalkboard to see people write 'cannon' in place of canon. |

Particularly when it's the rouge that does it. |

I'm in!
But, umm, George, you have any insight as to how many of these Candlekeep sessions there are gonna be? If there are more, can we have 'em declared a hamster ball free zone? I'm just askin'. For a friend. |

Through the graces of Brian Cortijo and Jeff Thetford, these are the two I'm aware of and participating in. Don't think there will be any more, but you never know.

What is the actual name of the seminar? I cannot find anything with "fire the canons". I could only find one Candlekeep Presents - the Nine.
Help! (please of course |

Just do a "Candlekeep" search, but to make it easier on you it's on Friday night at 9 pm.

That brings up a good point. Will these be recorded and copies made available later? |

That question is way outside my tech paygrade. Maybe is the likely response at this stage. One of the seminars is on Zoom and the other on Twitch. I believe both have recording capability.

I would hope they would have a table with a DM ready to play an epic game. Characters below 18'th level are post pasee to me and any of my gaming group I may bring. Although we all have lesser PC's to boot.
When I play Curudin Ahmaquissar, I think.... bring me all the hells you have! The Abyss is like Skullport to me... quick and easy. I've seen Phaerimm rise and fall. I've seen Daemonfey rise and fall. What's next? I'm ready, solo if I have to. I was there when the Coronal defended Myth Drannor against the Shadovar. I was there when the city fell. |

Whatever... just being queer. A seminar of what? Maps and grids and engineering?
Why not a seminar of proposed ways to collectively write the next realms novel?
An average book of 300 pages is available from Wasteland Press for $500.00. And they edit for you with your help unlike some publishing companies. I have already published 2 books of ludicrous poetry, and my wife has written 2 novellas under Wasteland Press.com
Why can't this seminar pool in together and write the next FR novel? Maps are boring unless you're a Topographer. lol. |

Because it could only be published with WotC's approval and they're not going to do it. |

| Is there still time to sign up? I kind of peaked at the schedule, but most of it looked like games, and I admittedly don't have much experience playing. However, I would be interested in a lore seminar. |

Go here:https://www.gencon.com
Register if you haven't already and then do an event search for "Candlekeep". This seminar (Friday night Indianapolis time) is over Zoom (so you'll need that platform) and the other seminar (Saturday night Indianapolis time) will be on Twitch (so you'll need that platform as well). The event entries on the Gen Con site tell you how many tickets are left.

Not to worry, Eric. You won't have to be on Twitch for either one.
Details to follow.
For everyone still having trouble finding the Fire the Canon! workshop, it's at https://www.gencon.com/events/188928 . You will need a (free) Gen Con badge in order to sign up, and for this event, you must be registered to attend. |

| The ID wasn't working for me, I'm not sure what I was doing wrong. I hope there's a recording of the event up for us all to watch after. |
Currently living in a version of 1372DR that operates under 5e mechanics. Strange indeed! |

I signed up, along with three friends of mine. All of us are bringing our mid-level PC's to game with. I'm excited! When joining the Lore seminars I will ask a thousand Ahmaquissar questions indeed.
To play I'm bringing Trysiifith Oumryn: CN Gold elf male of Narbeth, (Shalhoond). CR 25; Rogue 5/ Cleric 5/ Fortune's Friend 5/ Sacred Fist 10 of Erevan Ilesere. Co-founder and Guildmaster of the Daggerford Rogues of the Laughing Midnight. Exiled King of The Great Wild Wood in the extreme edge of eastern Faerūn. "The Mongoose Prince" of Court Oumryn. Master of Fist, Foot, Elbow, Knee and Spell.
I also have a 4ED and 5ED version of this PC to make sure I get into a game. lol. |

| Um, this is a seminar about reconciling differences in lore. No gaming will be involved. |

Okay. If you say so. Maybe we will all game and leave you out. lol.
And BTW... FR lore is jaded and worse than a rough trick named Jim. lol.
Lore is resplendent among the realms in general. Deities die and are resurrected on a yearly basis. The designers cannot seem to get their lore straight. Evermeet; Island of Elves pretty much declared how the different sub-races of elves and gnomes and dwarves entered Faerun over -30,000 years ago. That lore is to the tooth. But designers have found a way to incorporate new history amongst the ancient history with every new edition of D&D.
So yes, let's bring the lore. I for one will bore you with ancient elven kingdoms. |
