Long delays due to life

Posted on 2016 March 24 by njwMarch 24, 2016

I haven’t even written up Con of the North, Minicon is this weekend, David Ladyman is kickstarting a new version of Star Traders, and games with the weekly group deserve to be written up… But there are big changes going … Continue reading →

JOFCon, part 1: Building better cons

Posted on 2015 November 11 by njwNovember 24, 2015

About a month ago, there was a tiny little con here in the Twin Cities called JOFCon. “JOF” stands for “journeyfen of fandom”. It’s a knowing take-off of the term “SMOF”, for “Secret Masters of Fandom”. SMOFs are (at least … Continue reading →

Minicon 50, part 6: Wrap-up

Posted on 2015 May 19 by njwMay 19, 2015

Minicon 50 was overall very good. There were more than twice the usual number of members, which meant that it had a very lively feeling. Even though the total membership was about the same as WisCon, it didn’t feel as … Continue reading →

Minicon 50, part 5: Actual gaming

Posted on 2015 May 17 by njwMay 17, 2015

I managed to get a fair amount of actual gaming done at and around Minicon 50: Star Traders: The aforementioned pre-con game. It was nice to have this before the game, because as I mentioned, it seems like it’s getting … Continue reading →

Minicon 50, part 4: Iain (M) Banks

Posted on 2015 May 13 by njwFebruary 7, 2016

This one was apparently opposite some very popular panels; the audience was rather small. It was therefore a missed opportunity to spread enjoyment of the amazing stuff Iain Banks wrote. But the audience was also composed mostly of people who … Continue reading →

Minicon 50, part 3: Build a World!

Posted on 2015 May 9 by njwMay 9, 2015

I’ve been running this quite a bit at recent cons. It’s a lot of fun. We ended up with a world with some pretty weird physics: light moves in discrete packets, sound is faster than light, gravity is bouncy and … Continue reading →

Minicon 50, part 2: Why are we still having this panel?

Posted on 2015 May 3 by njwSeptember 23, 2015

Now that it’s nearly a month after Minicon, and there have even been other cons since then, I should probably start writing things up a bit more briefly, lest I never get these done. Work continues to be busy, but … Continue reading →

Minicon 50, part 1: Pre-con, and The Art & Business of Gaming

Posted on 2015 April 18 by njwApril 18, 2015

Minicon started well before the con itself for me. I’m on the programming staff, and have been for about the past decade, so I was partly involved in thinking up the panels and other events. I’ve also been doing the … Continue reading →

Minicon 50, briefly

Posted on 2015 April 7 by njwApril 7, 2015

Minicon 50 was mostly great, with lots of good panels, gaming and generally hanging out with cool people. I’m now mostly exhausted. Still catching up on sleep, so catching up here will have to wait a few days. I have … Continue reading →

Minicon 50 this weekend!

Posted on 2015 March 31 by njwJuly 25, 2015

As so often seems to be the case, with all of Con of the North written up, I already have another con coming. Minicon 50 is this weekend. This isn’t the 50th anniversary of Minicon, because in early years the … Continue reading →
