So, if I may ask, what did you talk about, how was the meeting?

Did anyone film/record this? I would love to either watch or listen to it.

Hear hear! I tried watching the live stream, but neither Panera's wifi nor my phone's 3G could keep an understandable audio going once Ed came onstage.

And there were "decision makers" for wotc who joined the candlekeep seminar and soaked it in.

We were asked if the was any interest in a product that was fiction or a sourcebook. Just a book full of facts and goodies about the world of Faerun. No mechanics, no rules, just juicy bits.

Everyhand in the room raised I believe. So that's exciting. Truely, everything is on the table.

Thanks, I was having trouble getting the video to work at my work, so I downloaded the audio version on The Tome Show. I was specifically hoping for audio/video of "25 Years of the Realms" since there was a rumor that Matt James might record it a couple of month's back.

Thanks for that so much! My phone won't play the video (or I don't have the patience for the thing to buffer,) but I can download this mp3.
It is much appreciated.

+1 for that.

Ed really does have a really good voice, it gives him great presence on stage.

Hi. I know I asked this last week, but I am hoping that now that some of the dust has settled, that someone got audio/video/transcript of this seminar and can upload/post a link to it.

Thanks,
Hawkins

Unfortunately, Hawkins, it was a 4.5 hour event at which there was LOTS of stuff to talk about, and Matt didn't arrive until after the keynote anyway (after 9 p.m.), so a recording didn't get made, and a transcript is really difficult to put together.

I am, however, endeavoring to formulate a "what was addressed" piece, which should appear here on Candlekeep within a couple of days. I currently have it out to other panelists for input, and I'll let you know when it arrives.

Possibly, I'll post it on my website, because it's currently 7.5 single spaced pages long, and I expect it to get longer.

For now, I'd happily answer questions.

Cheers

Thanks, Erik. I wanted to get more of a feel for what was talked about before postulating any questions. I will wait for your forum/blog post and go from there.

Next year we will definitely be doing what we can to record either audio, or audio and video. As this was the inaugural event, it was more of an improvised event. That being said, it was amazing to see so many diehard Realms fans. It was very inspiring.

Also, I'll try not to schedule anything that follows the event, so I don't have to step out before it's over!

(Although, in my defense, it WAS the Glittery Guild Burlesque that I was off too...)

I actually DO know everything. I just have a very poor index of my knowledge.

New user to the Forums here. I signed up for this event at Gencon since I've been a frequent visitor to the Realms in books and games (even though I still yearn for Greyhawk occasionally). Here is a picture of the room towards the end of the evening. It was initially scheduled to be a 2 hour event, but it lasted well past that, partially due to the keynote. It was great to see so many contributors show up and talk about the future of the Realms. I ran into Ed throughout the convention, and caught Erik and Brian at the D&D pavillion as well (Erik is even taller than I am).
I captured about a minute of video of Ed talking about one of his amusing encounters with the suits, I'll try to get that up on the YouTubes or some such.

Great photo. In my defense, I was actually editing something I've been writing on the Realms for fun. Paul looked over my shoulder, so he can attest that is true. ;-)

It was, indeed, a great event. Thank you all for putting it together. I, my wife, and my friends very much enjoyed it.

It was also a pleasure to put a face to a name for the panelists and fellow scribes in attendance. I look forward to seeing you all at future events.

The give away (a very well made, well designed pin) was fantastic. All four of us wore them on our badge lanyards for the rest of the convention!
