Fan Expo Canda

I'm pleased to announce that I will be joining Phil Reed as a featured gaming guest at Fan Expo Canada, September 3-6 in Toronto, Ontario. We're going to be sitting on panels (see below!), signing stuff, and I at least plan to run a bunch of games. I'm looking forward to having some time to hang out with loads of very nice game industry people, even by Canadian standards, such as Jim Zub, Eric Lang, Robin Laws, and even Ed "Elminster" Greenwood. (I also expect I will be a gibbering fanboy at some point or other, probably about the time I get to the front of Steve Blum's autograph line to have him sign the insert from my Cowboy Bebop Blu-Ray set. Bang.)

I'm hoping to get some time to tour Toronto as well; I've never been and I hear nice things. If nothing else, Zub has promised to take me to his favorite poutinerie and I cannot wait. (If anyone knows of healthy food options near the convention, I think I'm going to need some!) 

Here's our preliminary panel schedule, subject to change:

• Phil Reed
  • Basic Kickstarting and Crowdfunding: Friday, 3:30, Rm 713
  • Publishing Your Own Tabletop Game: Friday, 5:45, Rm 705
  • State of the Game Industry: Sunday, 3:45, Rm 705
• Andrew Hackard
  • In the Game of Boards, You Win or You Roll Again*: Sunday, 11:15, Rm 715
  • Getting Started With Tabletop Roleplaying Games: Sunday, 12:15, Rm 703
  • Advanced Kickstarting and Crowdfunding: Sunday, 2:15, Rm 717A
• THE BIG ONE: Phil and Andrew in "Steve Jackson Games: Behind the Pyramid", Saturday, 12:30, Rm 713

* I have no idea what this panel is about. As a result, I am looking forward to this more than almost anything else at Fan Expo.

Phil has already promised to crash at least one of my panels, and I'm sure I'll return the favor. We're looking forward to seeing a lot of Munchkin fans at the show!
