Announcing the First New England Larp Conference

Announcing the New England Larp Conference, a multi-tradition conference on the subject of LARP.

What is NELCO?

The New England Larp Conference is a weekend of panels and workshops about LARP. If you've been to the Thursday thing, or Pre-Con at Intercon, that's the idea, only on a weekend, and without Intercon preperations hanging over you. We're looking to have a large number of panels and workshops from all genres of LARP, not just "Intercon Style".

Where is it happening?

At the Chelmsford Radisson, where Intercon L happened earlier this year.

When is it happening?

July 20-22, 2012

How much will it cost?

$20

I've never written a LARP before, is this for me?

Certainly! We've gotten feedback that the panels at Precon have been a great way to learn more about writing games.

I've never played in a LARP before, is this for me?

Honestly, probably not. We're working on some ideas for intro-to-LARP panels leading into a introductory larp for next year's Precon and Intercon, and that's likely a better place to get your feet wet. If you're still interested in coming to NELCO, then, you're certainly welcome.

I hear there's going to be a Build Your Own Game?

Yes, indeed, obvious audience plant, there is going to be a BYOG, coordinated by Jeff Diewald. If you're interested in writing or playing in the BYOG, please sign up on the site, so we can gauge interest. If there's enough interest, we may split into multiple groups and write more than one game.

I've got a great idea for a panel!

Great, we'd love to hear about it. You can make a suggestion for a Panel or Workshop using the proposal form found here. We're looking for new ideas, as well as repeats of panels that went well at Precons in the past.

I'd like to sign up, or I have more questions, do you have a website?

Yes, it's at http://nelco2012.concentral.net.
