Pre-con

[mllelaurel]

The pre-con lineup of panels for Intercon K is up, and it looks awesome! There are so many panels I'm interested in. Especially noteworthy are: Learning from Failures, which is bound to have some great anecdotes (and hell, I have some anecdotes of my own - For Art's Sake was a mess!) Pacing Issues in LARP, because pacing is one of those tricky topics which are fascinating to writer geeks like me. Mental Illness in LARP, cause holy psych major, Batman! And, last but not least, Player Freedom and Control. I have lots of opinions on those topics. Were I a better public speaker, I'd consider volunteering to be a panelist.

I agree, it looks like a very strong lineup. I'm especially excited to see the Pacing issues panel, which I suggested because it's something I'd really like to hear other peoples ideas on it. Writing Period Larps, experimental mechanics, and player freedom also all sound awesome.

Learning from failures sounds fascinating, but alas I have no interest in the others that night and getting a hotel room for one panel isn't something I think I can justify. The again Waltham is only 20 minutes from me so....hmmm

Yeah, thankfully I'm from Belmont, so I don't have to worry about a hotel at all, before the full-out con, and even then primarily due to the fact that I like having somewhere to crash, as well as somewhere to change that's not the public bathroom.

I just had this really weird revelation. Last year I didn't go to the Thursday thing's Thursday night panels because "I can't afford a hotel room just for a few panels" but....Chelmsford was also only 20-25 minutes away. And I have a car. And thats not far at all. There was absolutely no reason I couldn't have popped over to see the panels anyway...except having this weird mental block about intercon being a sleep-away thing. >_

I can see how that would happen. Cons have this immersive association.

All these panels look awesome!

As the proposed of that panel .. please come. We need to share and learn from each otehrs failures as well as improve the lessons learned process.

I'll do my best!

Thanks for the post! I'm really happy with this lineup of panels as well. And stay tuned - there's more to come.

Man, I would just love to go and hear all of these. I am going to keep my fingers crossed, but also try not to get my hopes up too much...
