Along with the stunning overall attendance record for the convention, the game smashed our own sales records, and we demoed it for more than two thousand players! A huge shout-out to our amazing Catalyst Demo Agents that tirelessly ran so many games! Monsters were slain and many heroes were created, ready to tackle further adventures along the Sword Coast. Join the quest, and build your own legend!ĭebuting Dragonfire, the Dungeons & Dragons deckbuilding game, at Gen Con 50 was amazingly apropos. Along the way, players level up their characters, opening access to additional equipment, feats, and more.
