Come Play with Crafty: RinCon and NeonCon Schedules

[Crafty_Pat]

We're just two weeks out from RinCon and five weeks out from NeonCon, Crafty's last two shows in 2010! Come meet the designers, pick up some new Fantasy Craft books, and jump into a playtest preview of Spycraft Third Edition!

RinCon Events

Fantasy Craft: The Vault
Runs: Friday October 8 at 2pm-6pm, Saturday October 9 at 2pm-6pm (with Patrick Kapera), Sunday October 10 at 10am-2pm
In a rarely traveled corner of the Kingdom, a wise mage once built a stronghold. This wizard is now long dead and much of his hold has crumbled to dust — all but a great vault, said to hold fortunes beyond description. Many adventurers have entered the vault but none have returned. What adventurer worth the name could resist such a challenge?

Spycraft Third Edition: Lot 9
Runs: Saturday October 9 at 6pm-10pm, Sunday October 10 at 10am-2pm (with Patrick Kapera)
Preview and playtest Spycraft Third Edition and get your name in the core book! Only the criminal elite have been invited and only the super-rich can afford to attend. It’s a who’s who of the world’s most wanted, but even that takes second stage to what’s on sale. Your mission: steal it, replace it, and do your best to blame someone else. If you’re really, really good — and that’s why the Agency keeps you in martinis and tuxes — you’ll also come home with some much-needed intel and one or two less bad guys on the list.

Spycraft Third Edition: Off the Reservation
Runs: Saturday October 9 at 10am-2pm, Saturday October 9 at 2pm-6pm
Preview and playtest Spycraft Third Edition and get your name in the core book! It’s said that spies can’t afford friends but they can’t do their jobs alone either. When the home office burns one of your team’s oldest and most trusted contacts, there’s only one thing to do: head off the reservation to clear her name. It won’t be easy: you don’t even have clearance to see the notice, let alone identify who issued it, and your contact’s gone to ground overseas. How far will you go to save her, and will you make it in time?

Want to break into the gaming industry but afraid to quit your day job? Don’t! This chat’s for all those dogged overachievers willing to burn the midnight oil to realize their vision without sacrificing a steady wage and health insurance. It’s not easy, but the rewards can be well worth the lost sleep.

Talk: The GM’s Bill of Rights
Runs: Saturday November 6 at 11:30am-12pm with Patrick Kapera
For years the mantra's been “Say Yes” and “The Player's Always Right,” but what about the GM? He’s there to play too! How does he find his fun without ruining everyone else’s? Join this candid discussion about finding fulfillment in sacrifice behind the screen. (Don’t mind the masculine text ladies — GMs of both genders are equally welcome!)

Workshop: Offering Your Audience What They Don’t Know They Want
Runs: Saturday November 6 at 3pm-5pm with Alex Flagg and Patrick Kapera
Beyond a great idea and funding, every venture in any creative field requires one all-important component: an audience. Capturing and retaining an audience isn’t easy, and it often feels like they’re saying one thing and asking for another. Guess what? They often are. Alex Flagg and Patrick Kapera of Crafty Games explore top-to-bottom approaches for figuring out what your audience wants and delivering it in ways they ultimate embrace.
