Hi everyone!! I’ve been invited to be a guest at this year’s Pure Speculation festival!
Pure Speculation is Edmonton’s only sci-fi and fantasy convention, and they’ve thrown in a dash of tabletop gaming just to up the geek quotient! If you never been to Pure Spec before, this is the year to go – they have got some fantastic guest lined up, and they’ve introduced a few new events – including the IRON GEEK bake-off. Saturday night is a the infamous Costume Shindig, which I’m planning on dressing up for!
I will be on a panel called “The Wonderful World of Webcomics”, where I will talk about what goes into making Weregeek.
I will also be hosting a Shadowrun game – featuring the characters from my Shadowrun storyline! Yes, that’s right. You want to play Twitch or Aeon? You’ve got it. Just send me an email to book a space and book fast – there are only five spaces available, so if do you sign up, please be sure that you can make it out!!

Derek Burrow Says:
Gaaah! Same weekend as ICC, and no way for me to get to Edmonton. Bah.
Jen Says:
LOVE today’s comic.
The last panel just screams “geeking out” but in the best way possible. It made me LOL and I passed a link to all my D&D and WoW buddies. ^^ Have fun at the conference. I live in Northern Ontario so I wont be making it. *pouts* There are NO conferences around here!

Why is it that all the good Conventions are over the sea in the US of A???

Derek Burrow Says:
Jen: Where in Northern Ontario are you? I know that there are some fairly sizeable gaming communities in a few places up north…could always band together to do a con. Down here in Toronto we just got through GX/FanExpo back in August, though since Orion folded thats been pretty much the only game in town, con-wise.
Keith Says:
Now that I’ve moved to Edmonton (Canada, RedFox, CANADA ;D) I’ll actually have a chance to swing by to this one. Never even knew it was going on!
Someday there will be a convention with easy access to the LRT line, so I don’t have to leap around the city and can just sit and enjoy the ride.
Hmm, I wonder if I’ll get a chance at five minutes of awkward conversation?
Sir Ritalin Says:
I’ll be in Washington state, so only half as far away as I normally am, but still frustratingly distant from all this. All I can say is, have fun!
Ecaja Says:
Well.. i would love to go and take part in that game… but thats unfortunately across the ocean.
Eureka Says:
Damn!! Quick someone get me a plane ticket from Brussels!
Jen Says:
Derek: I’m up on the north shore of Superior and tabletop game regularly (though that looks like it’s ending *sniffle*). I don’t think I have the sanity for a con, or would that be insanity?
Quinn Says:
Alina, I am so tempted… so very tempted. Something about playing a tabletop game, based on a webcomic, basid on a tabletop game I played. I call Silhouette. call me and convince me to show up alina… I may need convincing
Derek Burrow Says:
Oh jeez, Jen. GX? Yeah. There’s a distinct lack of sanity there.
