MagicCon is a massive event for fantasy lovers, giving fans an opportunity to come together and celebrate their favorite fandoms. As far as cons go, it’s relatively new to the party, beginning in 2023 as a celebration of Magic: The Gathering turning 30. This year, Dungeons & Dragons will be joining the party, expanding the event to include many D&D centered events. Naturally, this includes a live cast D&D performance where several notable names will gather to play the beloved TTRPG for a live audience.

MagicCon will be in Chicago from February 21st-23rd, and event badges are available for a variety of experiences from single day attendance to a full Level 20 VIP badge. The con will include a show floor with plenty of fantasy-themed vendors, as well as panels throughout the weekend-long event. In addition, fans will be able to partake in meet and greet experiences with various big names from the Magic: The Gathering community and more. In other words, a fairly typical big convention experience, but centered on Wizards of the Coast’s biggest properties.
This year’s addition of Dungeons & Dragons in an official capacity includes a D&D live performance. A star-studded cast with some big familiar names from Baldur’s Gate 3 will take on an adventure called Baldur’s Gate: From Hags to Liches live on stage on Saturday, February 22nd. Technically, this event is listed as a panel, which means attendance of the show is first-come, first serve, for anyone with an event badge for MagicCon.
