Stagconf is the slightly alarming name of a conference where the speakers are to be decked with asphodel, transformed into deer and rent to gobbets by the frenzied audience.

Wait, wrong PR notes.

Stagconf is the slightly alarming name of a conference about storytelling in computer games. There hasn't ever been one of these before. I am deeply chuffed to have been invited to speak, not least because (a) there are a lot of better-known people in the lineup (announced so far: Richard Dansky, Margaret Robertson, Lee Sheldon, James Wallis, Stephane Bura, Hal Barwood) (b) it's in the Museum of Natural History in Vienna.

It's on the 27th September. I'll be telling war stories and talking about doing innovative storytelling on a small budget. You should really come, and I'm not just saying that because I'm hoping you'll buy me a drink.
