You are very welcome! (I remembered you saying how much you liked Emerald, you see ... )

I believe I may have mentioned this one before. But another Lovecraft-themed game that got funded through Kickstarter was Miskatonic School for Girls. I first saw it at the Dealers Room at Guns of August 2012 and immediately knew I had to buy it. Among the students that attend are Hannah Armitage, Erica Zann, Antonia Wilcox, and Mary S. Carter (it took me a while to get that one). No Wilma Whateley though.

Yes!!! I remember getting such a kick out of the premise (and names) when you told me about it. SO clever. Isn't it brilliant that game creators - especially Lovecraftian ones - are using Kickstarter so successfully? (And you always seem to know about such interesting projects...)

Poor Wilma Whateley. No respect. ;)

Neil Gaiman often gives great speeches.

Huh. A con from the couch. Interesting concept.

Neil Gaiman often gives great speeches.

He surely does!

We're really excited about the virtual con idea. StarShipSofa is an international effort anyway, with staff members on several continents, so it seems unlikely we'd all end up at the same place at the same time physically, even WorldCon. I expect this will be a blast. I hope a lot of folks - old faces and new - are able to participate. Thanks for the encouragement!

Cool!

Yay! So glad you think so! :)

SofaCon! I picture you all sitting on your sofa, traveling through space. Now if pics turn up of you wearing a green bathrobe and pajamas, I will be very jealous...
