So, what are you doing Oct. 8-10th?

Go have an adventure!

Pretty much the best thing I do each year - and I'm including GenCon and my massive BBQ in this consideration - is the Otherworld adventure weekend. You can only be a participant once, and people fly in from all over the country for very good reason. It's crazy stupid fun, with you as a heroic version of yourself in the middle of an adventure. It's designed for smart, adventurous men and women who aren't necessarily gamers or LARPers.

I'm on staff, and have been since around '96. It happens once a year. I can't recommend it enough.

There are some empty slots left for this year. I have a discount coupon for the first person who asks me for it, and I'd be pretty freakin' excited if we had some EN Worlders there.

EDIT - If talking your non-gamer significant other into it seems iffy, here's a blog post about the weekend from one of those folks. http://blogs.publishersweekly.com/blogs/shelftalker/?p=156

Being on the east coast now means I actually might have a chance to do this... But alas... This year I will be travelling down to North Carolina for my sister in law's wedding. I mean Sister in law is getting married! but still I'm missing gaming... Priorities...

I'll be at the DC gameday, WooHoooooo!!!

Thanks for telling us about this!

Although I can't do it this year, and maybe not even next year, my wife and I have decided (after reading every word of the website) that this just made the top of our list of places to go and things to do. We even want to do this more than go to GenCon (which neither of us have ever done yet).

Just curious, but what part do you play in it? (If you can tell us, or if you even know yet...)

And again, Thanks!

Sounds Awesome!

I cannot go this year. But, I emailed a friend, and we may plan to go next year.

It varies per plot, and there's a new plot every two years. The ratio is eight parties of six participants each (48 people) to around 60 staff members. I've been on staff eleven times, if I'm counting right, so it runs the gamut. And I can't tell you about this year, but it's pretty awesome.

I'm all for lurkers checking this out too. You can always shoot questions to me at kevin dot kulp at gmail. Today's the last day for early bird pricing.

One of the cool things about this is that it generally attracts more women than men, by a small margin. I think that's true for staff as well. I like that.

One of these years we will make it to Otherworlds.

It WHAT? Heh. Not so much.

It's not porn? Count me out.

Ok, maybe I'm back in.

But not this year.
