Crisis averted! Many people thought Wizards of the Coast was going to skip Gencon this year, because they hadn’t submitted any events by the time the event schedule went public.
According to Flames Rising, Wizards of the Coast will continue its sponsorship of Gencon this year!
Whew!

My friend actually wrote to Wizards of the Coast and asked what was up. They wrote back, “Wizards will not be attending Gen Con this year.” Then two days later, this announcement came out. They must have been driving some hard bargain!

Man, they really must have. It seems like Wizards was putting their boot on the throat of a helpless company, if that’s what was going on.
