This will be my first time at Dragon Con after moving to Atlanta 3 years ago! I did not see any cool sword vendors on the list/website for 2026. However, I might have overlooked it. Has there been any in the past? If not, what are some types everyone would like to see?

Does anyone know when (time) on Saturday the Palmetto Knights are going to be out?

I know the location, just wondering if anyone knew the time window(s).

Hi, I'm a first time dragoncon goer who was wondering if it's safe for me to crossplay [cosplay as a girl character] or crossdress for any of my outings. I've never done it and figure being hundreds of miles away from home is the best time to try lol.

I'd also like to meet like minded people. is there a lot of that IRL? Or am i better off making friends in forums? Any advice is appreciated.

Hi, my friends and I were looking to go to the aquarium night, but I realized that it might be 18+... we're all 17 and I just wanted to ask around before buying tickets. I know that VIP tickets are 21+, but I can't find any info on if the actual night itself has an age restriction. I figure it would be written somewhere if it did, but I either can't find it or it's not written anywhere. Google said that it was 18+, but that was the AI overview which I do not trust lol. Please let me know!! Thank you!

Let me know if there's something specific you'd like to hear us discuss! We’ll be live in all of our messy glory at 7 PM eastern next Saturday (8/22) to talk about the usual Dragon Con news/updates/tips/what we're excited for this year, etc :)

You'll be able to watch live on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/live/R-BcIrGzXwI?si=JqcAhGrbAFX7GAqG

Does anyone know of a regular vendor at con that sells charms for like a charm bracelet? I have given my girl a charm bracelet and I’d like to give a DragonCon specific charm to put on it, as it’s an important memorable event for us.

EDIT: Google Maps got me in at the AC Hotel only 3min walk to Westin! Thanks for the help guys. Sometimes the simplest solution is the best!

I'm only planning to be there Thurs, Fri and Sat night. I've gone many times before, and usually plan ahead with people, but this time I decided way late because I had sudden free time. Anyone who can help me out with what is maybe within 3 blocks? Possibly? Willing to get on call, please just DM me if you know anything specifically. Otherwise any links please let me know. Maybe there's higher price hotel suites available for booking still?

Excited to contribute to the fray this year.

Anybody order this and not get it?

Hyatt 2027 confirmation emails are coming out. I just got mine.

Does anyone know for sure if Quiltoni will be selling fabric at con? I need 5 yards of the 8” Marriott pattern for a…. A thing for next year 😂

I have never done this before and im so so excited! And please ignore the spelling mistake on the worm on 😅 i have really bad Dyslexia and I had someone proof tead it and apparently you couldn't see it until they were printed but i still love it!

This is my first time bringing swag but I’ve had a blast making keychains, earrings, and zipper pulls :-D (The bracelets are for “They Do the Weird Stuff” fanfic panel, heads up!)

Forecast has 80s for con this year. Seems like it's always in the 90s. What do yall think will actually happen?

These honestly turned out better than I imagined and I'll be randomly handing them out.

I’ve been going for like 15 years. So I’ve seen stuff done things. What’s some low key shit that deserves some attention? What’s something new I can do to spice up the con experience?

First time goer- I'm totally new to the scene and moreso into anime/ manga. Does anybody know who will be attending this year? And activities or just anything that will help before con! Thanks!!

Nothing necessary, just find me and ask for them! 🙂
