First timer here, so excuse me if this is obvious to anyone that regularly attends.
My understanding is that Wizards of the Coast has taken a pass on Gen Con for the past number of years. Based on the initial list, it looks like that will be holding true again this year, but are there 3rd party vendors that bring in Magic and WotC D&D products?
We've, Baldman Games, have been running the D&D at Gen Con since back in 2004. We will 100% be at Gen Con this summer running hundreds of events as always. Our events are not in the initial catalog release (which is not unusual) due to not being able to load some events until after some things were announced (D&D Direct - Thursday before last). They will be showing up soon as Gen Con approves them and updates the catalog.
We will also have a booth selling D&D products and a demo area as well. Pastimes has run all the MTG for a decade or two as well and will be hosting all the official MTG at the show and will also have a large retail presence with all the good stuff.
Wotc hasn't had an official booth in years but that hasn't changed the two of us from running thousands of events for over a hundred thousand D&D players over the past 20 years.
