Hello everyone! the ST staff is looking forward to seeing both familiar faces and new faces at SIBCon! We have a lot of new plotlines, intrigue, and adventures in store for everyone. To help get everyone on the same page, there are a few reminders and some new info listed below.

New and returning players who do not yet have a character in the database:
All players without an existing character may choose to play a pre-generated character or create their own character. To help speed up registration and get people playing faster at the convention, we're asking the following:

• All new character submissions are received no later than 2 weeks prior to the event. For SIBCon 15, we're cutting new submissions off on Saturday, September 4th. This allows time for a full review, entry into the database, printing of sheets, etc.

• At the event, new and returning players without an existing character must play a pre-generated character. It is permitted to swap items on the sheet for other items of the same point cost, as long as they are ones that are allowed in our house rules. Following the first event, players have one event to make any other changes as long as they are permitted in our house rules.

At the event:
Experience point expenditures will be written on your sheet in pen and initialed by ST staff. Database updates will occur after the event. Again, this is to help speed up check-in. Please remember that you must turn in your character sheet at the end of the event to receive experience points for the event!

At COSCon, we received a suggestion to plan out time for players to meet in their clans. The concern was that there was too much plot and too much to do, so the players didnt have enough time to roleplay with each other! Overall, not a bad problem to have! We want to make things easier for everyone to plan their event, so below is an ST overview/plan of the event. Please use this to help plan things out so that everyone can have a great time!

Friday

Please contact me with any problems or issues.

Thanks to the nearly 50 players who turned out for the COSVamp LARP! The role-playing was awesome, and I definitely had a great time. If we see that kind of energy at other events, this is going to be a fantastic year!

On convention Sundays, our players vote for best role-player. Congratulations to this conventions' winners!
