Well that was...an offsite. Re: Resident Evil x Discord Fan Experience- If you're going this weekend during #SDCC try to be early in line for timeslots. Items go fast and there's a lot of people scanning all at the same time for the freebies. #SDCC26

We would love our workday to be done so we can go full #SDCC mode. Alas, the emails, oh so many emails.

It's that time of year for this specific post (seeing as we're days away from #SDCC) Remember: don't forget to pack underwear for #SDCC26. You don't want to make this mistake. (We post this every year because it's happened to us before and maybe we're reminding ourselves too)

Marvel back in Hall H for #SDCC this year. Good! Means less crowds elsewhere since folks will park themselves in line. ("Less" crowds is entirety subjective since it is Comic-Con.)

Best of luck in the General Hotel Sale, all you Comic-Con attendees! May the little running dude sprint faster than everyone else for you! (or maybe slower than us please too!) #SDCC #SDCC26

We're all having fun right? Feeling "empowered" with this sale? #SDCC #SDCC26 (can't believe they think we're all feeling empowered with this new process...)

Here’s an email exchange I had with Glen Wooten, the person in charge of SDCC’s Art Show. The previous language has been in place for a couple of years & was a compromise between himself & the higher ups. This whole ruckus convinced them that they needed more forceful language, so that’s great.

Check the art show page - you'll see that the rules have been changed, and that Al is no longer discouraged, but is banned.
Those 2 sentences have been in the rules for a few years to make people not want to put Al art in the (since there would be no way to sell), from a time when Al was just starting to rear it's ugly head. It has worked - no one has put Al artwork in.
But the issue is becoming more of a problem, so more strident language is necessary: NO! Plain and simple.
Notices started coming in yesterday afternoon, but I haven't said anything till the office updated the web page (I do not have access to it).
My wife is an artist, so I have no love for regurgitated Al artwork. As an art show director, I wish the biggest problem to be telling the artist to stop calling prints of originals as originals. I may not be able to control what goes on outside, but I can keep a tight leash on the art show.

I would appreciate it if you did (you can use my name). The office decided to
"reorganize" the rules this year, so they brought out a small part of a paragraph, and gave it it's own little lightning rod. As l said, it's never been a problem, because they know I frown on it, so they don't do it - but this is perception, and what was acceptable a few years ago is more of a hot-button topic now. The previous wording was a compromise (I wasn't allowed to say NO! at the time) - now there is no question.

Ale and well met! If you're in Los Angeles and can get a high initiative roll (even a low one will do too), definitely head over to the @twentysidedtavern.bsky.social and experience this show. What a critical success of an evening! Do it for the Soup Guy!

The more people that turn up and show Wizards that supporting trans people is popular, the better. Make it inescapably clear to them who their players are and what you care about.
