My Worldcon schedule:
Friday August 25th, 10am: “World of Warcrack” panel, ACC 212-A
Yep, I am moderating a panel about WoW. The other folks on the panel include Mike Stemmle, co-designer of classic LucasArts games like Sam & Max and Escape from Monkey Island; William B. Fawcett, author of The Fleet series of books; Justin Lloyd of Otaku no Zoku, and Scott Campbell, who is apparently a game developer but I can’t quite figure out which Scott Campbell it is. 🙂
The panel description reads,
Massively Multiplayer Online Games have long been popular but none have ever been as popular as World of Warcraft. (At its height, “Everquest” had fewer than one million subscribers; WoW has about six million.) Why are these sorts of games popular and what is it about WoW that makes it king?
Saturday August 26th, 3pm: Autographing session, ACC ATGR6.
The Autographing area is in the exhibits area between art show and dealers room. I’m opposite the likes of Harlan Ellison, and who knows if they will even carry my book at any of the dealers at Worldcon. But if they do, or even if they don’t, bring one, and I’ll draw a penguin in it. I’ll be happy to sign game boxes too, I suppose. I imagine there will be no line, because nobody there will have the slightest clue who I am. 🙂
I will probably get up there on Thursday evening and wander around in a daze at my first-ever Worldcon, and drive back down sometime on Saturday evening.
