Time Bubble 2012: A Weekend of Minigames in upstate NY



Time Bubble 2012 Announcement, Call for Games

Via Jenny by e-mail:

My name is Jenny, and I'm Game Mother for the RPI larping community. I'll
be running my second Weekend of Minigames at RPI in Troy, NY on October
5-7. I just released my call for games last night (the flyer is
attached). This event is called Time Bubble 2012. (The last one was Dice
Bubble 2012, and the fall and spring semester weekends will continue to
have these respective names.) Last time, we had fourteen games and
sixty-five registered attendees (we were probably closer to 70 with the
last-minute surprise players) and I'm excited to raise the bar for another
Weekend of Awesome!

I want to extend an invitation to the larping community as a whole to come
run a game and play with us!

You can sign up for the event at Time Bubble 2012's web site. (And here's this past spring's Dice Bubble site so you can see the awesome schedule they put together last time.)

Want to run a game with them? (You should!) You can send bids to dicebubble@gmail.com using this handy-dandy bid form.

Using Kickstarter to fund LARP-related projects

Larping.org has a post up about New Jersey LARP which used Kickstarter to fund improvements at the camp they rent, raising $3,600 from players to build a new common space, not just for that LARP, but for all the LARPs which use the camp.

Where else have you seen Kickstarter used to fund LARPs or LARP-related projects?

Intercon M date and location

Intercon M now has a date and location!

Intercon M will be returning to our comfortable home at the
Chelmsford Radisson from Friday, March 1 to Sunday, March 3, 2013,
with Pre-Con events starting on Thursday, February 28. We're very
happy to be back in Chelmsford! Hotel room reservation information
will be available on the Intercon M website soon.

Pre-Con now included!

The Pre-Con event (aka "The Thursday Thing") has become so popular that
this year, we're rolling in admission to Pre-Con with your Intercon
membership. There will be no extra fee to attend Pre-Con panels and
events! (The web site still mentions a registration fee; we're working on it. -ed.)

New England Larp Conference

Coming up soon is the very first New England Larp Conference, a weekend
of panels and workshops about LARP much like Pre-Con but longer and
without the stressors of Intercon happening right afterwards! NELCO
will be held at the Chelmsford Radisson from July 20 to 22, 2012. Your
panel and presenter ideas are still needed! Submit them and find out
more about attending at the NELCO website.

Co-Parenting

Former Con Chair and soon-to-be-father Chad Bergeron will be organizing
co-parenting at M to provide more freedom for parents wishing to LARP.
Contact Chad for more information. (Contact information withheld pending Chad's approval; ping me at nelarpnews@gmail.com and I'll pass you on. -ed.)

Bid a LARP!

We are actively and excitedly asking for game bids! We're looking for
a diverse selection of LARPs over many different styles and genres from
new and experienced authors. If you're interested in running a game,
you can find the bid form on the Intercon website.

Bid a Pre-Con panel idea!

Do you have a panel or event idea for Pre-Con? Submit your idea to our
Panel Committee here!
