Mountain Monastery Mystery at WisCon

Posted on 2014 May 14 by njwMay 14, 2014

If you missed my Mountain Monastery Mystery at Con of the North, you’ll get another chance to play it this coming Memorial Day weekend (May 23-26) at WisCon! WisCon is a wonderful convention with amazingly deep conversations, but it hasn’t … Continue reading →

Con of the North 2014, part 4: Mountain Monastery Mystery

Posted on 2014 February 27 by njwFebruary 22, 2020

The afternoon game for Saturday was one I was running, using Blade & Crown. It was in some ways very conventional, but in many others one of the most experimental games I’ve run. The scenario was this: various religious dignitaries … Continue reading →

Convergence 2013, part 8: Final thoughts

Posted on 2013 July 30 by njwAugust 13, 2013

Convergence is still the con where I talk about gaming the most. Why not at other conventions, like Con of the North (where there’s tons of gaming) or WisCon (where discussions are such a major focus, and so deep and … 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 →

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 →

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 →

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 →

WisCon 37, part I: Why Is Pleasure So Problematic?

Posted on 2013 June 5 by njwMay 29, 2015

First part of WisCon 37 that was relevant here: a great panel called “Why Is Pleasure So Problematic?” I didn’t catch the whole thing, but what I saw of the panel dealt in a very thorough, interesting way with the … Continue reading →

WisCon, briefly

Posted on 2013 May 29 by njwMay 29, 2013

As usual, WisCon was entertaining, mind-expanding and generally wonderful. I have yet to fully recover. I will start posting reports soon.
