A status report on RuneQuest-Con:

We're still slated for January 14-16, 1994, in Columbia, Maryland (a pleasant suburb of Baltimore). This is a firm date.

Confirmed Guests of Honor:

• Greg Stafford (of course)
• Ken Rolston
• Sandy Petersen
• Michael O'Brien (author of _Sun County_, in from Australia)
• David Hall (Editor of _Tales of the Reaching Moon_, in from Britain)
• Oliver Jovanovic (head of the RQ4 rewrite effort)
• Nick Brooke (_RQ Digest/Daily_ troublemaker at large)

Pending Guests of Honor:
* Some other RQ names you might recognize

• Scott Aniolowski, and a couple of other Chaosium CoC freelancers
• Other CoC, Pendragon, and EPT celebrities, if I can trick them into attending.

EVENTS Seminars: Of course, our GoH's have to earn their keep somehow. Not

   only can you game with them, we'll put them up in front of y'all    so they can entrall you with their gaming wisdom and folly. Debate    Gloranthan philosophy! Ask Sandy why insects are so heavily    represented in the _Gateway Bestiary_!

"Home of the Bold" A 75-player Gloranthan freeform. Loads of fun.

   (Hint: I suspect spots will fill up quickly. Plan on getting    your registration materials in quickly). Hosted by David Hall    and Kevin Jacklin (another Brit coming over just for the Con).

Tournaments: Oliver Jovanovic and Mark Wallace have pledged several

   RQ tournaments between them. There will be more (see below,    however)!

New stuff you ain't seen before: Remember _Masters of Luck and

   Death_, the HeroQuesting boardgame that never came out? Well,    you can play at RQ-Con. Ever heard of _Warhamster_, Sandy    Petersen's custom RQ minis rules? Well, perhaps you can play    that too. Stafford's Lunar book is scheduled to be released    in December. Perhaps RQ-Con can be the official release party?

Rare materials: Lots of Digest/Daily readers complain that they don't

   have enough of the old RQ2 reference material. We're doing our    best to have lots of it there. Our dealer is stockpiling it    already. Andrew Lorince will also be on hand to sell out-of-    print EPT stuff.

Not all (fun and) games: There will be live-action Trollball (it's

   specifically written into the contract with the hotel). There will    will be an Orlanthi storytelling contest, judged by Stafford, of    course. If you want to start thinking about it now, here's the    deal: take some element of Sartarite mythology, and prepare to    recite it, in saga/story form. Worst of all, there will be an    honest-to-goodness "dart competition." For fear of offending    certain patrons, this is all we can say right now...

• WE NEED MORE EVENTS, AND MORE GAMEMASTERS *

However, we still need more volunteers, and more events. The pre-reg book has to go to press before Origins (?), so I'm now asking for specifics from you all. Can you:
* create a tournament (single round, multi-round, whatever) to run?

• GM an event we provide?
• work registration?
• do something else useful?

If so, please contact me, so your contribution can be included in the pre-reg book.

We are specifically looking for RuneQuest, Call of Cthulhu, Pendragon, Stormbringer, and Empire of the Petal Throne events, but we won't be too fussy.

YES, GMs/Volunteers will get a discounted entry to the con.

Please look for fliers at conventions near you. They've started to go out already, and responses are coming back.

I look forward to a flood of volunteerism from the RQ Digest/Daily readers!

Thanks,
-David Cheng
