The Second New England Larp Coference (NELCO) Announced!

The NELCO site has been up for a little while, but it's still very much forming:

August 9-11, 2013
Chelmsford Radisson


The New England Larp Conference is a multi-tradition event focused on the craft of LARP. It will be a weekend of LARP discussions, panels, workshops, and build-your-own-games.

As opposed to gaming convention, the Conference will not be a weekend of playing and running games, but will instead be discussion and workshop based.

If you've attended the Intercon Pre-con, that is the inspiration for this event.

Have questions? Contact Dave.

Volunteer
Want to help out? Suggest a panel or workshop! Have some skill that you want to teach, or want someone to teach? We want to know! You can suggest an event by emailing us.

Please include:
Your contact information
Your panel or workshop idea
If you are interested in running the panel/talk/workshop, or if you want us to find someone to run it

If you're interested in running the event:
How long it should be (1-2 hours for panels, 4 or more for workshops, or whatever you think you need)
If you have any special requirements (Sewing machines, projector, etc)

Build Your Own Game
Over the course of the weekend, starting Saturday morning, we'll be running a Build Your Own Game workshop. Whether you've never written a game, or are an experienced author, it's a great time, and a great way to learn new techniques. Jeff Diewald has volunteered to coordinate this project, so feel free to contact him with any questions you may have about it. The game will run on Sunday, so we're looking for people interested in writing or playing the game. If we have enough people interested, we'll split into multiple teams, so please let us know ahead of time by signing up for the "Build Your Own Game Author" flavor of attendee

Registration is $20 for the weekend. More details here.

The BYOG is a great way to get started if you've never written a LARP before. Last year's BYOG, "The Barbecue", was well-reviewed and went on to run at Intercon this year.
