At this time Schweig hasn't made any definite plans to attend upcoming convetions. Past conventions he's attended include MACE and Stellarcon in High Point, NC, MarsCon in Williamsburg, VA, , ConCarolinas in Charlotte, NC, and Ubercon in New Jersey. If you're interested in inviting Schweig to your con as a game designer
and writer guest, please keep reading....
Want Schweig at Your Con?
He asks conventions to take care of a few things for me if he's going to attend as a guest: Hotel Expenses: At the bare minimum Schweig ask conventions to arrange and pay for hotel accommodations, preferably at the establishment hosting the con. Depending on his travel schedule, he may ask for an additional room night before or after the con. He does not ask cons to pay for his meals. Travel: Schweig usually doesn't ask conventions to pay for his travel expenses if he's driving. Living in Virginia he's easily a few hours' drive from most locations in the mid-Atlantic states. Beyond that, however, he prefers to fly. Schweig realizes this can be a burden on some con budgets, but it's an equally heavy burden for him (and he doesn't usually make money from attending a con). Dealers Room Table: This is a secondary concern that helps tempt Schweig to make a con a priority. Assuming your con has a dealers room, he sometimes ask for a complimentary table, with a commitment to purchase a second table at full price. If he only needs one table, or you can only spare one table, he'll pay half for it. This condition depends if he has any gaming stuff to sell, if his wife comes along to sell her "Soft Chance Creations" goodies (handmade puffy dice, "geek shorts," and dice bags), and if he's driving or flying. What Do You Get? Schweig's typical convention agenda consists primarily of running roleplaying games he's had some hand in (including D6, Weird Wars, and D6 Star Wars) and roleplaying, board, and card games he's designed or is currently developing. Schweig also speaks on panels for which he's qualified (mostly gaming and Star Wars, writing, editing, and publishing, but others as well), and gives presentations on using music and handouts in roleplaying games. Of course, mingling with con-goers is always a priority. Still interested? E-mail Schweig!

"This is called a Griffin because it is a winged quadruped. This kind of wild animal is born in Hyperborean parts, or in mountains. All its bodily members are like a lion's, but its wings and mask are like an eagle's. It is vehemently hostile to horses. But it will also tear to pieces any human beings which it happens to come across." -- The Book of Beasts, translated
by T.H. White
