Schedule

I just found out my tentative schedule for CONvergence.

Friday:
9:30pm to 10:30pm Twin Cities Science Fiction And Fantasy Writers Meetup Group Reading

Saturday:
9:30am to 10:30am Intro To Larping
12:30pm to 1:30pm This Book Needs A Talking Cat
2:00 pm to 3:00pm Why Your Child Should Play D&D

Sunday:
9:30am to 10:30am Why Can't Grown-up Books Be This Good?
3:30pm to 4:30pm How To Keep Your Characters Balanced

My second reading is not on the schedule, but I just found out that the Convention's Writer Liaison is going to schedule people to read in the Con's new Literary Lounge. So I might be reading twice after all.

So come and find me at the Con and say hello.

In Peace
Michael

Why Your Child Should Play D&D

That sounds like an interesting talk. Do you have any notes?

I have not started ordering my notes yet, but I'm going to hammer on things such as it encourages reading, teamwork, and gives the child the kind of social interaction video games do not. Also, it's something you can do with your kid, and it stimulates the imagination and creative expression.

It also reinforces basic math skills -- as a certain heavily-bonused barbarian could tell you.

Just don't wake the rest of us up when you get up BOTH mornings for the early panels. Ha!
