Philcon 2011
I will be appearing at Philcon this coming weekend. For anyone who wants to see me there, here is my list of panels:
Sat 10:00 AM in Plaza II (Two) (1 hour)

norm?
Sat 11:00 AM in Crystal Ballroom Three (1 hour)

should they
Sat 12:00 PM in Plaza V (Five) (1 hour)
COMPUTER GAMES: MORE THAN JUST A PILE OF CORPSES! (762)
Modern video games have moved far beyond simple killing and
pillaging. Many also strive to bring us engrossing stories, new

Sun 10:00 AM in Plaza IV (Four) (1 hour)
STEAM: IRONING OUT THE DETAILS (897)

slapping a few weird-science inventions on a Victorian setting, or
is there more to it
I will also be MCing the Masquerade on Saturday evening.
Hope to see you all there.
