Gen Con has both consumed about 85% of my waking thoughts for the past few weeks and ALSO snuck up on me. Here’s where you can find me this weekend:
CTHULHU MASTERS TOURNAMENT
I’m designing and running the Cthulhu Masters Tournament this year with a team of crack professionals (Chris Malone, Sarah Holmberg, Heather Burmeister, and Peter Heeringa). The eight sessions of the first round run at 8am/12pm/4pm/8pm on Thursday and Friday, with semi-final rounds on Saturday, and the final on Sunday morning.
(I will not be running all of these sessions. But if you sign up, you’ll have a literally 50% chance of being in a game I run during the first round. Also 66% chance if you advance to the second round and 100% chance in the final round. Although currently sold out, it’s not unusual for people to get in with generic tickets.)
THURSDAY – 2PM: GAME MASTERING 101
Robin D. Laws, Darcy Ross, Jonathan Tweet, and myself will be talking about the fundamentals of being a GM and doing a Q&A session in Crowne Plaza : Pennsylvania Stn A.
(Not to be confusing with GMing 101, which is a completely different panel running Thursday morning.)
FRIDAY – 8PM: ENNIES AWARD CEREMONY
I was nominated for a 2019 ENnie for Best Online Content, and I’ll be attending the awards ceremony in the Grand Hall at Union Station.
SATURDAY – 5PM: OPEN YOUR GAME TABLE
I’ll be introducing people to the concept of open game tables. If you want to ask me a question, this is probably your best opportunity all weekend. We’ll be in Crowne Plaza : Pennsylvania Stn A.
SATURDAY – 6PM: ATLAS GAMES FIRESIDE CHAT
Join the Atlas Games team as they discuss everything from solar panels to the next role playing game on the horizon. John, Michelle, Jeff, Justin, Kyla & more, available for your questions. Still in Crowne Plaza : Pennsylvania Stn A. Little double-header action here.
SUNDAY – 3PM: GEN CON LIVE
Not a panel, but I’ll be appearing with Jonathan Tweet on the Gen Con Live stream. So even if you’re not in Indianapolis this weekend, you’ll still be able to tune in!
ATLAS GAMES BOOTH
I will also be opportunistically dropping in at the Atlas Games booth, running demos and generally hanging out. I won’t be doing as much of that as I would like because the rest of my schedule is packed to the gills, but even if I’m not there, the odds are good you’ll have a chance to meet Jonathan Tweet and have him run an Over the Edge demo for you (as he’ll be there most of the weekend).
Congratulations on the ENnie win!
