Had a great time with the HorrorAddicts.net crew, @macarrick.bsky.social and the good folks on the Black Poetics panel (@babblewocky.bsky.social is who I can find here) at #BayCon this year! Looking forward to getting my act together w/r/t the writing workshop next year.
How I spent my afternoon on the last day of #Westercon 77 #BayCon 2025 — Representing the Montreal in 2027 Worldcon bid.
#baycon is almost over. It's been a lot of fun, but I'm tired and ready for a quiet home with significantly fewer people.
I spent most of my time staffing the Oasis, the chill self-care space. We're there for folks who've gotten overwhelmed by the con. I like the work.
@skunkheart.bsky.social has skewered D&D—and #FitD, and... basically every #TTRPG I've ever run or played!—as "project management" games, ie "organizing a group to slay a monster" in this fascinating #BayCon panel on "Professional GMing".
Ticked off two bucket-list TTRPGs at #BayCon, yesterday:
✅ Delta Green (1997/2016), a Cthulhu meets X-Files horror investigation
✅ Firefly (2014), the Cortex "Plus" game based on the TV show.
Video of the #Westercon 77 Business Meeting at #BayCon 2025 uploading and will be online on YouTube later tonight.

Heading to #BayCon! Catch me at 2:15 on the Chaos Stage with @khanwong.bsky.social and @doughenderson.bsky.social from @thewritersgrotto.bsky.social for a reading 📚
Thanks to everyone who came to the isekai panel @baycon.org! If you're interested, you can preorder my book on manga history, coming out later this year! ahorbinski.com/books/

#Westercon 79 (2017) Site Selection voting at #BayCon is open at the desk between Salons 3/4. Voting ends 6PM tonight.
#BayCon 2025 / #Westercon 77 is officially underway. I delivered the gavel of Westercon to the opening ceremony where chair SallyRose Robinson officially opened the convention.

Today's #SelfieTithe is courtesy of my going and getting my badge at #BayCon. I'll be back tomorrow to maybe play tabletop games and definitely be on a panel! Though not in this dress, that hotel is *cold*.
Join us at #BayCon!

Arrived at the hotel. Vehicles unpacked into rooms. Spoons in the negative. #Baycon starts tomorrow.
Someone fetch me a drill; I have to let the demons with sledgehammers out of my skull.
#Baycon is this weekend! And I am on deadline! And also in school!
So this could be fun.
Headed, in a casual meander, to #BayCon. I'll be spending a lot of time working in the Oasis, facilitating the chill decompression space for those who sometimes find con overwhelming.

Buying Kevin a coffee in Colfax. Follow his Mastodon for our drive to #Westercon #Baycon then me here for the convention itself.
July 4 weekend is gonna be my first time as a panelist at a convention! Doing a panel at #BayCon on the road to success with serializing litRPG on Royal Road!
I am psyched. If you have questions you'd want answered, hit me with them and maybe they'll make their way into our spiel!
So, I'm kinda sorry to be missing #BayCon. Maybe it's no longer my speed? I hope not. I used to LOVE BayCon. Maybe, in future, I'll come back, and it will be an old friend I miss dearly and am happy to get to know all over again.
But for now, I'll be somewhere else.
So, I was trying to decide whether to go to #BayCon, because every year, I know fewer people there, and every year, my social anxiety gets worse and I drink more to overcome it...
...and a girlfriend just asked me to spend that week in her place, with her cat, as she leaves to visit family.
We’re thrilled to be dealing at @baycon.org (BayCon 2025 / Westercon 77) this 4th of July weekend in San Jose! Stop by for awesome Furry stories, and when done shopping, hit up a Klingon party. Furries and Klingons make for a pretty epic party alliance. 🐾🖖🍻
