Convention - Bad news about Oklacon
11 years ago
General
First off, I AM still going!
Okay, now that I've put aside your initial fear on reading the journal title... There IS still some bad news. Over the months leading up to the convention, I did not hear anything whatsoever about programming. I reached out several times during the last three months, and was met with silence and deferrals. So here it is, the night before the convention, and I don't even know if they want me running Werewolf.
I will still be in attendance, so if there's anything unsatisfactory about event scheduling, it's going to be ENTIRELY up to you guys, my fans, in order to acquire the things we need for Werewolf.
Additionally, if you are interested in Predator versus Prey and were unhappy with the previous year's events, I will be bringing my PredPrey Kit, and if the convention wants to improve the game, I am selling it for $100.
Beyond the normal nightly Werewolf, which I have no clue on the times or location of (and the website's schedule is all over the place and somewhat idiotic looking) I had also put in for a Friday panel: "How to be a good Town Mayor (Werewolf)" - 2 hours estimated time, a fairly basic setup, and a quiz at the end for those wanting to earn the Princess, Knight, and Dragon promo cards. I've got a panel outline and the quiz printed out, so I'm hoping to get 10+ to show up for that. I need to teach some new folks about the art of Mayoring! :P But yeah, I doubt that made it onto the schedule because, well, it's Oklacon. :| If the con's attendees weren't so awesome, and I didn't love the camping environment, I wouldn't go. I do wish they'd get their shit together, though.
Edit: Oh, yeah, and I never heard back from then on registration. They didn't comp me last year, and they wouldn't credit me the time spent hosting panels (that I use my own expensive gear for), so they probably won't be comping me this year. Donations/Tips to help pay for the costs of the con are very appreciated. Last year was awesome on that front. I'm also bringing three batches of puppy chow: Amaretto, Mint, and Toffee.
Well, I'm going to leave it in the hands of participants to bitch at Oklacon. They aren't going to listen to a single word I tell them, so there's no point in it, but they'll listen to new faces.
