Looks like Dreamation is a no-go, considering I have an overdue paper for work that I have to finish this week. That’s the second big con I’ve had to back out of in a row, after GenCon this past summer. Scheduling should be better, I hope, if I end up going back to grad school in the fall, but I feel the worst about disappointing folks that were expecting to see me or play in my sessions. I was really looking forward to finally playing some of the Murderland games too.
P.S. If you pre-registered for any of my events, email me (jaywalt at gmail) and I’ll try to make it up to you somehow (free copies of Mortal Coil Revised and Transantiago, maybe?). Vinney is already giving me a world of shit for having to cancel after pre-registration, probably because it means some people who chose my games may be locked out of many of their second choices now. That totally blows and I apologize for having screwed-up other people’s Dreamation schedule.

That sucks.

Oh, also, did you tell Vinny? He’s telling people what sessions they were slotted in now.

Well, shit. :(
Hope to see you in 2010!

Jason: I just emailed Kat and the Dreamation folks. Strangely enough, I hadn’t even considered that Dreamation went by the standard con format and had people preregister for stuff, so I didn’t preregister myself at all. I’ll have to remember to do that next year, otherwise I might not be able to get into much. I’m so spoiled by JiffyCon and the GoD booth.

It is a very normal con! That said, you would have a great time even if you didn’t sign up for anything. I think a number of people do just that.

Just to repeat this in the comments…
