Put aside honor among thieves; the real question is will there be elves there? Or a vending machine with both Mountain Dew and Funyuns? Yes, it’s word of the first big installation (and panel) at Comic-Con, always a high point for attendees. Deep in the heart of the Gaslamp Quarter on the corner of Sixth Avenue and Island Avenue, you can bring your Dungeons & Dragons experience to life like never before — or at least never before in the Gaslamp Quarter.
Courtesy of Paramount Pictures, this tie-in to Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves will be “…a 20 minute immersive experience for unique photo ops, exclusive takeaways, and a chance to sip on Dragon Brew while interacting with your favorite Dungeons & Dragons creatures and characters, plus a few surprise moments you won’t want to miss!” Again, I’m hoping the Dragon Brew tastes like Mountain Dew. No word if it comes in a flagon with a dragon, thus holding the brew that is true.
It’s a far cry from the 1980s, which as you probably saw in Stranger Things, equated playing Dungeons & Dragons with being part of a Satanic cult. In reality, it was really like the Hawkins Hellfire Club, except some of them grew up to be Joe Mangiello and Vin Diesel. So it makes sense that after several podcasts and comic books, we’re finally getting a film that may be good. Which leads us to Hall H!
Because we can’t take over the Hall of the Mountain King, Hall H will do, as Honor Among Thieves kicks off Comic-Con on Thursday, July 21 at 12 pm. At the same time, the tavern will open and run from 12 pm to 10 pm on Thursday, 12 pm to 8 pm Friday and Saturday. Reservations are strongly recommended.
From Paramount:
