Octocon Round up

Octocon took place just a few weeks ago. We were back in person for the first time in three years and in Croke Park too. I had a really fun weekend despite all the tiredness I had been feeling from changing jobs just a few weeks before.

Over the weekend I got to talk about what it meant to write about non-human societies, and how we make collaborative worlds through role playing games, and memorably to pitch a company (Three Goblins in a Trenchcoat) to the venture capitalists of Mars!! It was also fun to learn how to pick locks and generally interact with other humans! And one of my favourite things is getting some of the individual works of art and craft in the trade hall. And also books… so many more books

The only disappointment was not getting the stuff with book 2 done in time for a launch at the con.

I had only volunteer in the last few months coming up to the con, mainly because of just not having the time, but this year I’m starting the cycle as secretary to the committee - I look forward to being the iron fist behind the bureaucracy (when I can remember).
