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:
