bcl05 Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 One of my favorite patients is going there for a Make-A-Wish tour. I'm jealous - it looks to be an awesome time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dfitzo53 Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Anybody going? I like comics, but I'm not big enough on them to go to a con. Magic the Gathering puts out a set of promotional cards for the con every year though that are pretty cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started around the end of Legends start of Revised or 4th Edition, whichever came after Unlimited. Ended up putting together an almost complete set of Legends, a few select Beta/Unlimited cards like a set of Moxes, a Black Lotus, Timewalk, TimeTwister, Chaos Orb. Nice powerful **** like that. Ran them in a multicolored Millstone deck with 4 clone artifacts in there to clone the Millstones. I won a LOT of cash with that deck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
First Colony Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 My wife and I just got back from San Diego yesterday, and they're already gearing up for SDCC. We noticed that a parking lot has been taken over and they are constructing what looks like a set of some sort with a helicopter on top of a structure and a stage. This is all to promote the new Jack Ryan series that's going to be on Amazon. I'll try to link a picture. By the way, San Diego was awesome.

I go to try to get an actor's autograph and/or a photo with them. Then if I am free, try to catch a Q&A panel. If you are going to get multiple actors autographs/photos; that will take up most of your time. Waiting in lines. I then make a the long trek across the convention Hall, to see what's in the various booths. I like collecting photos of TV shows/actors and there's usually one booth that sells them. Most of the stuff is comic related but you can find other stuff, nestled in there. Right now, planning to go to Tampa MegaCon in September.

With two kids and having just returned from a trip to the west coast for a wedding, another flight out to San Diego for a con wasn't in the cards. I went to GenCon last year for the 50th one. @TK Still have your old cards? You should take a look at what those moxen are worth these days.

Burgold Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 I’ve been going to a bunch of small to mid sized comic cons since my books came out. They’re a blast. It might be fun to go to San Diego one day, but I’m way too small a fish. I’d get swallowed up. It’d be like the tragedy-version of Finding Nemo.

You may already know this, but the creator was trying to sell his game ‘Robo Rally” (fun game, BTW) and the company was like “eh, you have anything else?” So he cold pitched Magic the Gathering on the spot and the rest is history.

Sort of. Peter Adkinson (CEO of Wizards at the time) said they didn't have the means to produce a full board game with plastic miniatures and tokens. At the time they were a really small company releasing RPG books. What Peter Adkinson did have was a relationship with a printer and connections with some local artists and art students, so he told Richard Garfield that what he really needed was an illustrated card game. Garfield had already been toying with the idea of a trading card game, and he told Adkinson about it. It isn't like he literally invented the idea on the spot when Robo Rally was rejected. It is interesting that Garfield had to go to a different company to get Robo Rally published initially, but now Wizards owns the rights to the game anyway.

First off, this is 3rd hand, so I could well be wrong. Secondly, I was not clear (my bad) - didn’t mean he invented it on the spot, meant he pulled the game out of his bag/case and showed them what he had instead of RR.

Just kidding. I probably came on a little too strong anyway, I just saw a chance to add some detail to the story. I hadn't heard he had a prototype of the game (Magic) with him. Would've been smart to though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
