Wyrd Con in 3 weeks

[essentialsaltes]

Just a reminder to SoCal folks that Wyrd Con is coming up June 11-13 in Costa Mesa.

It's a weekend of Live Combat and Theater-Style LARP, as well as other related tomfoolery. I'll be running Casino Arcana, in which a gathering of powerful occultists play high stakes poker-with-Tarot-cards.

The con's got some good guests, too - "Larry Niven and Steven Barnes of the DREAMPARK series will be joining Award-winning RPG Designer John Wick at Wyrd Con One!"

Come do tai chi with Barnes.
Play Prawn in the hotel pool.
Play my game and other ELGL games in the presidential suite.

In related news, Casino Arcana now has a soundtrack.
And not just a theoretical soundtrack, but one burnt onto CDs.

PPS my favorite part of the Wyrd Con draft program descriptions is:
"[REMOVE THIS ENTRY ENTIRELY KIRSTEN!]"

What? Shit! Where? I don't read this shit, I just lay it out!

Given that, iirc, both John and I contributed to "Forbidden Kingdoms", it would be nice to finally meet him!

(latest news: The fools at Capital One gave me a credit card, so I can swing the ticket, but boss must give me final okay switching out Memorial Day for taking the 11th off, which would make getting down there MUCH easier...)

I definitely hope the scheduling works out favorably for you!

Do you have to pay a licensing fee to Tim Powers for this?

Definitely an 'inspired by' credit

Even worse, it has souls in bottles.

But at least my poker variant is totally different from his poker variant.

Obligatory Stephen Wright: "Last night I stayed up late playing poker with Tarot cards. I got a full house and four people died."

I would actually love to do T'ai Chi with Steven Barnes, but the odds of my getting up at that hour after a late night are pretty slim.

Just stay up the whole night.
