METATOPIA 2014 - this weekend was created by GJSchaller (GJSchaller)
There is an annual Double Exposure convention this time of year, that has in the past conflicted with the Nov. KR event. This year, it doesn't conflict, and KR people can attend without issue.
The event is METATOPA - it's a convention about making games, not just playing them. Writing rules, rulebook layout, marketing, Kickstarter, inclusivity, reaching your current players as well as new ones, breaking out of tropes and writer's block, etc.
Not only is it good for people who want to make games, it's a chance to sit in on and playtest some up and coming stuff. Designers lay out their works in progress, and ask for feedback.
I highly encourage people to come out to Morristown and check it out - it's not "just" a gaming con, it's a very new way of looking at gaming. You can see the list of events here:

Cabin of the Month
The Baron's Manor, The Monastery
Two buildings got the most notice this month from our marshals and players. The Barons Manor was set up very nicely and was especially well done for the trial. We’d like to thank the people that jumped in at the last minute, prior to the trial, to make it look regal. You know who you are! Once again, the Monastery looked fantastic. It improves every month and those staying there are doing a great job keeping up the atmosphere every event.The Baron's Manor, The Monastery
