Convergence 2013, part 4: Civility in Fandom

Posted on 2013 July 22 by njwAugust 13, 2013

The third panel I was on; not RPG-specific, but important enough to discuss here. This one got into a lot of topics that are really important to me. We discussed our experiences with the Geek Hierarchy, and how it really … Continue reading →

Convergence 2013, part 3: Roleplaying Outside Your Comfort Zone

Posted on 2013 July 20 by njwJuly 20, 2013

I wasn’t on this panel, just in the audience. It was quite a good panel. But then, with Beth Kinderman and Sherry Merriam on it, how could it not be? It dealt pretty well with its subject matter — namely, … Continue reading →

Convergence 2013, part 2: Best RPGs You’ve Never Heard Of

Posted on 2013 July 16 by njwNovember 23, 2014

The second panel I was on, this one covered a lot of ground. Our purpose: to introduce a bunch of good, but obscure, RPGs. We talked about so many games that I don’t have time to properly introduce all of … Continue reading →

Convergence 2013, part 1: LGBT Gaming

Posted on 2013 July 14 by njwJuly 14, 2013

This panel went pretty well, though we had a lot of ground to cover: the description included all of gaming (tabletop RPGs, consoles, boardgames and everything else), as well as at least implicitly including every part of the LGBT alphabet … Continue reading →

Convention season is truly here: Just finished writing up WisCon 37, but it’s already time to look forward to Convergence 2013. Convergence is the second-largest con in the Twin Cities, second only to Anime Detour. Convergence will probably pull in … Continue reading →

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 →

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 →
