Big Bad Con - about me


As a longer version of my Twitter (@HansCTweets) #BigBadCon2019 intro:

Hi, I’m Hans! I use he/him pronouns. 
 
I like to make, hack, run and play games. I do want to talk to you about games.
 
OK with photos and physical contact but please ask!
 
Very easily distracted and hyperfocused.
 
I drink coffee constantly but no alcohol.

I’m here to meet people, play games, be excited and pick up cool stuff! 
 
Won’t get to the Con until 6 on Thursday, maybe as late as 8 Friday, but all day Sat and Sun!
 
I will be volunteering as a Ranger greeting on Saturday 2-5pm and hosting Games on Demand Sunday 8am-12noon.
 
Big Bad Con is going to be my first con in a while. I'm looking for new opportunities and to connect with new friends. I've done a lot of streaming and online games lately and would really love to expand upon that.

I've also started many RPG projects and would love to get more incentive to see them finished. There are a bunch of examples here on the blog and even more lying around in my Google Docs!

Tabletop RPGs were the first place I found friends, community and a voice as a young person. As I've grown they've always proved my best way to meet and appreciate new people. This weekend is all about that for me. I'm trying to leave space to learn, play, connect and shop, but I have a few games scheduled to play as well as several panels and events.

If you see me, please say hi!

Big Bad Con - before the con

First, I love this title, which sounds like some kind of prequel novel! Getting ready for Big Bad Con is reminding me that I have lots of outlets for sharing my creativity with people. I meant to go to Big Bad Con last year. I didn't get things together, which may have been some kind of anxiety or executive dysfunction. It's been a long time since I gamed with people I've never met in public and I'm honestly nervous about how I'm going to come across and what I'm going to do. https://www.bigbadcon.com/ But I need Big Bad Con too. Some of the reasons: To meet people I've come to appreciate online in person. To make new connections and be inspired. To challenge myself, because the more people you tell you will do something, the better chance you actually do it. I find myself interested in developing new games, streaming new shows and making more creative collaborative projects. This is going to be a great opportunity. Here's my scheduled ev

Dragon's Pool

Here's a pitch for a new game setting for D&D I'm working on. First, I recommend you read Shadow of the Fox by Julie Kagawa. I'm enjoying it a lot; it's a fantasy Japan with a lot of great characters and fun over-the-top fantasy. The Dragon's Pool is an Asian-inspired setting that focuses on the mystical and magical. Long-term goals are to zoom out and see the lands of China, Korea, Mongolia and southeast Asia (Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia). Short-term, Dragon's Pool will focus on a mythic Japan and the sea that surrounds it. Some of the homebrew topics I'm dealing with are the yokai (monster) races of Kitsune and Tanuki and a lot of mapping D&D Classes and Archetypes to Asian tropes.
