In keeping with an awesome tradition, Peat will be running the Author D&D event again this year at ConFusion. However, this year there will be a few changes.

Author D&D III

When: Saturday 9am-12pm

Where: The Great Room at Legendary ConFusion.

What: Watch eight fantasy authors and one fan play classic D&D. The game will run for roughly 3 hours. Afterwards, other authors at the con will take over and continue the game as long as possible.

Using Expletives

Stina Leicht, Seleste deLaney, Sam Sykes, Peter Brett, Doselle Young

1pm Saturday – Michigan

Swearing is fun. When done in fiction, it often humanizes characters who are otherwise a little too perfect. In SF/F, this can be tricky. One favorite is only a word at all because it was an acronym: Ship High In Transit, and came about because manure would cause sailing ships to explode. If a fantasy or sci-fi culture lacks those traditions, how do they swear? How does one make it recognizable and distinct?

Choose Your Own Augury

Ferrett Steinmetz, Cindy Spencer Pape, Wesley Chu, Peter Brett, Peter Orullian

6pm Saturday – Southfield

From perfect precognatives to imperfect entrail-readers everything in between, as well as today’s real life futurist, what are the challenges in predicting the future?

Writing Comics vs. Writing Novels

Bradley Beaulieu, Kelley Armstrong, Christine Purcell, Mike Carey, Peter Brett

8pm Saturday – Southfield

Different media present different challenges. Here we look at two popular forums and discuss similarities, differences, and what learning to do well in one may teach about the other.
