Note: You don’t need to sign up for the panels ahead of time. Just come in and take any seat available.
Misha Bushyager is a longtime gamer and GM and fledgling designer working on raising the next generation of geeklings. She’s written for Chill: SAVE, Lovecraftesque, Misspent Youth, and Dead Scare and served as an editor for #Feminism.
Meera Barry has been described by others as “innately fey,” which she agrees with if it means she likes shiny things and meat. She likes to dabble, which is why her current projects include reviving the late 90s gaming-humour webzine “JNMmnj,” working on four RPGs, three books, dirty weasel poetry on Twitter, and playing in the fanfiction gutter. She says it’s hard to write when a weasel is eating your feet and that it’s not a metaphor for spending time gaming with her son and daughter. A third-generation gamer, even though everyone says she’s the wicked one she always somehow ends up playing paladins.
Ogre Whiteside is a long time tabletop gamer, amateur game designer and avid critic and commentator. He was the host of stabbingcontest, a podcast about social issues and new ideas about gaming and game design.
