WisCon 37, part VI: Wrap-up

Posted on 2013 June 27 by njwJune 27, 2013

WisCon was again great. WisCon’s level of discussion is uniformly very high and much more clueful than at a lot of other cons. I don’t do much gaming there, but it entertains through mind-expansion. And this year’s WisCon had a … Continue reading →

WisCon 37, part V: Actual gaming

Posted on 2013 June 25 by njwJune 27, 2013

WisCon isn’t a gaming-heavy con; it’s primarily about programming and conversations. Still, I managed to get in a bit of gaming, all of it on Sunday: Dominion. We played one nice session of this. As usual, this was a combination … Continue reading →

ConTessa now!

Posted on 2013 June 22 by njwJune 22, 2013

Reminder: ConTessa is going on right now! As I mentioned before, I haven’t been able to take part due to Google’s “real names” policy, but it looks like the events are a lot of fun, and many have recorded livestreams. … Continue reading →

Howdy, Reddit!

Posted on 2013 June 22 by njwJune 22, 2013

Well hello there, Reddit! There’s some discussion of my “Worldbuilding Ain’t Bad” article going on there, and it’s cool to see people in agreement. A small correction: I’m a woman. Maybe not important to you, but it’s important to me. … Continue reading →

WisCon 37, part IV: Feminism in Gaming 2013

Posted on 2013 June 21 by njwJune 21, 2013

This panel went quite well. In pre-discussion, we created a handout with tons of resources and information, and we also printed up a bunch of copies of the Feminist Gamer Bingo sheet. Yes, a panel with not just one but … Continue reading →

Apologies and clouds

Posted on 2013 June 19 by njwDecember 15, 2013

Apologies for not posting in a few days. I’m trying to work through my backlog of WisCon posts. More soon! In the meantime, here is a zip file of four clouds I’ve taken photos of; all are pretty good candidates … Continue reading →

WisCon 37, part III: Creating a Religion 201

Posted on 2013 June 14 by njwNovember 30, 2013

At last year’s WisCon, there was a fairly interesting panel called Creating a Religion. It was nominally about how to create religions for conworlds. Mostly, though, it just kept coming back to polytheism vs. monotheism as the main axis of … Continue reading →

Blade & Crown sample characters updated

Posted on 2013 June 11 by njwSeptember 17, 2016

I noticed a few days ago that many of the stats for the sample characters on the Blade & Crown website (see the Downloads section) were wrong. (What’s that truism about how sample characters are never achievable within the game … Continue reading →

Sorry to see you go, Iain

Posted on 2013 June 9 by njwFebruary 7, 2016

Iain (M.) Banks has passed away. I’m sad to see him go. His Culture novels are a great example of transhumanist SF, and they provide (through the Contact division, and especially its Special Circumstances group) a good example of what … Continue reading →

WisCon 37, part II: Roleplay and Identity

Posted on 2013 June 7 by njwJune 7, 2013

Another good gaming-related panel (WisCon had a bunch of them this year), this one was concerned with how we “expand our understanding of ourselves and the world” through RPGs. The panelists had a good representation of different kinds of RPG … Continue reading →
