Hey all! Anyone planning on doing a cosplay from Magic the Gathering? I'll be walking around as Jace Beleren! Hope to see you there!

Hey there! I'll be bringing my Fem Avatar cosplay for the weekend, along with a Magic the Gathering cosplay. I may only wear the FE one on Friday, sadly - it'll depend on how quickly I can switch between cosplays. Please let me know if you're planning on doing a photoshoot after all! :) EDIT: Just saw the official meetup is tomorrow from 4-5pm! I'll do my best to be there~

I'll definitely be inhabiting the Soul Eater meetup today and I will be wearing a white labcoat (Okabe Rintaro from Steins;Gate) That's a terrible clue to meetup but that's all I got lol. I'm quite passionate about AMVs.

Hello, I got your message and sent you a PM. Thanks

I have a space one more, you could cancel yours and joins us, I'll be at the lobby tomorrow around 10. If you are interested. It will be 65. Unfortunately you won't have a bed, but you can bringing an air matress.

Panel: Masque of the Red Death Saturday: 11:00 pm - 12:30 am I wanted to share some information about a panel event I am hosting at Anime Midwest called 'Masque of the Red Death.' This is a social elimination game for 10 to 30 players and based off the Edgar Allan Poe short story of the same name. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A1wYahdvkxo I've ran this game at GenCon and Origins last year and it went over very well. There are a lot of rules, but they are mostly intuitive and players pick up on the basics within a few minutes. Given the 90 minutes we have for the panel, we probably have time for two games. The premise: Players are guests at Prince Prospero's lavish masquerade. But some players serve the Red Death and are trying to eliminate as many other playeras as possible by getting them cast out of the party or simply killing them. The other team is attempting to cast the Red Death out of the party before everyone succumbs to the plague. In addition to these team goals, each player has an individual goal to achieve and a variety of powers and abilities to assist them. For example, they may have a vendetta against another character or are searching for a certain treasure. What is unique about Masque of the Red Death is that players are never fully eliminated from the game, they may simply obtain a status that limits them. Frozen in place by a spell? That's only temporary. Cast out of the party? You can possibly bribe your way back in. Dead? Perhaps a necromancer can make you 'undead'. You can see a list of character roles on my website (http://www.experimentalgamer.com/masque-red-death/) and reserve on in advance if you like. Just DM me your choice and keep it a secret.

There won't be any unofficial SU meetups but there are official ones running this weekend. Since there are official ones set up now I decided to cancel the unofficial one
