Panels

 

A Brief History of Gaelcon

Day: Friday

Time: 10pm – 11pm

Emerging from their tombs, we gather a handful of elder gamers to commune and talk of events lost to the sands of time. From what polluted mire did the IGA first emerge from? What crazed hubris led to the formation of Gaelcon? Who was the first of the Iron GM’s? All this and more shall be answered!

Panelists:

Mythologies and Misrepresentation

Day: Saturday

Time: 2pm – 3pm

From the origins of the fantasy genre with Tolkien, the myth and legend of world cultures have informed the aesthetics and direction of tabletop gaming, although not always for the better. In this panel we discuss the pitfalls of misrepresentation the past fell into, and how we might avoid them in the future.

Panelists:
Dr. Esther MacCallum Stewart
Dr. Kristina Hildebrand
Cllr. Peter Kavanagh

The Content Creative Process
