Registration for this year's Gencon Australia has now gone live. I can now announce that I will be running my freeform, Crosses To Bear, starting 6.00 pm on Saturday, 19 September 2009.

The Transylvanian Alps, 1209 AD...

"I don't care that the peasants said there was going to be a blizzard. They also said that in these mountains, wolves walk as do men and blood-drinking spirits ride the wind; I mean, really! This road will put us in Constantinople within the week, so long as we don't run into any Templars..."

"So I was wrong about the blizzard. But I'm sure that's just the wind howling. Look, a light! A castle! May God be praised for his mercy!"

Crosses To Bear is a freeform game for 30 upstanding crusaders, noble ladies, gallant troubadors, wily merchants, shady hangers-on, Templars and of course, their Hosts.  Costume is essential, characters may be pre-booked by contacting the designer and quoting your Gencon registration number.

If any of this sounds familiar, it is indeed a reworking of the game I ran at Macquariecon '92. It is dedicated to the memory of my late conspirator, Emma Turkington.

How the hell do you know your game is running? Once again, I don't know what I did to hurt Gencon's website designer but I'm really sorry.

I sent you a personal message, in which I congratulated you on your acceptance! Clearly, that hasn't got through...

They haven't contacted me or anything: when the registration page went live I went to it by clicking the link that says "for more information" on the Gen Con home page. I logged on with last year's member's name and password, which still works obviously, clicked on the link to "search the Gen Con Australia 2009 Event Catalogue", selected LRP and examined the list that resulted.

I think the website designer hates the universe.

I PMed you about this and some other sundry things through the LJ message thing but it didn't get there. I have found the catalogue now.
