Lincon 2025
Gothcon was tough without Helma, and Lincon even more so. Over the past few years, I’ve relied on her entirely for many things: logistic reminders of all sorts, a welcoming presence for people while I’m setting up, opinions and observations which aren’t mine, her own experiences of other things at the convention, and basically understanding…

Playing without prep – an anecdote
This is a follow-up to this post : https://adeptplay.com/2025/07/11/playing-prepared/ I started playing Fantasy For Real with Julie & Logan, with who I played Apocalypse World three years ago (Already !), here https://adeptplay.com/2022/08/26/return-apocalypse-world/ Due to my recent improvement in play, also a period of only playing as a player-character (not as a GM) the last 6 months,…

Based on last year, I concentrated on workshops, offering two sessions of “Understanding Role-playing” and one of “No,…

Gothcon 2024
This year I’m in “look, I have some things” mode, so I scheduled games of my own design and even brought printed copies for sale. Low-tech and totally pamphlet mode, but nicely printed for sure. I gave out a free copy of Cold Soldier with any purchase and handed out promo for The Happening all…

Kulturnatten 2023
Kulturnatten is a major event in Sweden, during which any and all activities conceivably identified as Kultur throw open their doors or set up stalls and bandstands, and everyone roams around checking out whatever they want. I participated last year both at Spelens Hus and at the game design event at the city library, as…
