CyberCon II - Want to Expose Your Game?
For those of you who were not there, CyberCon I was an online RPG convention prepared and promoted by the RPGHost network. It was a rousing success for a first-time go-round, with over 400 registrants, many games, chats, workshops for players, GMs and industry, and lots of fun
As the games coordinator for CyberCon, I am in the process of assembling a preliminary games schedule for CyberCon II. CyberCon II will be held online from Friday October 19 through Sunday October 21, 2001. Game slots run either four or eight hours.
Last con, we had some great support from vendors who were interested in promoting their wares by sending a representative to run an online (chat or VTT) game in their system. We also had tremendous requests from the indie and small press community asking for similar opportunities. I'm announcing that opportunity now.
Keep in mind that we are not asking CyberCon attendees to purchase anything other than their CyberCon pass; so you'll have to allow in-con distribution of your ruleset (or a shortened version thereof or have enough players attend who already know the game) in order to make this happen.
WebRPG will be available to con attendees at no charge for the duration of the con; OpenRPG and our own chat room are the other official venues. We will schedule your game(s) at a mutually convenient time during the Con.
Teaching sessions are particularly welcome as they will diversify our offerings for Con attendees and, of course, expose new players to your games.
Some of you may have already been contacted by James re: setting up shop at the Con as a vendor with a booth, prizes, chat room and other sundry benefits of being a vendor. If you would like to send an official rep to the Con to run an adventure, module or game system (or if you'd simply like to run something unofficially), you need to contact me separately.
So, if you have questions, please post them here; and if you're interested, either post or email me privately ... my address is on the board.
Looking forward to an even better Con!

Don't know about any of the above but I may be interested in a 'how to run a cybercon' style article?
What do you think?
