TIME: 11.30am - 12.30pm
TITLE: Starblazer Adventures - Behind the scenes on the space opera and forthcoming fantasy RPG's!
HOST: Chris Birch
Chris Birch, line manager and writer of Starblazer Adventures talks about the process of creating the massive RPG core book, how it started, the highs and lows, and where it's going including a discussion of the forthcoming Chronicles of Anglerre based on Starblazer's fantasy issues, which will allow everything from low level gritty play through to epic god like legends.
----------
TIME: 12.30pm - 1.30pm
TITLE: Small Press - Publishing Your Own Games
HOST: Angus Abranson
Small Press and Independent Publishing in the games arena has really taken off other the last few years. With some of the best titles - such as Evil Hat's "Spirit of the Century " and Contested Grounds' "Cold City" selling as many, if not more, copies as many more established companies.
With the lowering cost of entering the games publishing business thanks to Print-on-Demand companies such as Lulu and Lightning Source many budding games designers have turned their hands to publishing.
Angus looks at the areas a budding games publisher should look at as well as other options available to them.
----------
TIME: 1.30pm to 2.30pm
TITLE: Contributing to Signs & Portents
HOST: Charlotte Law
Contributing to magazines is an excellent way to break into the world of publishing. Both Writers and Artists are widely sought after in the world of RPG publishing. In this seminar, Charlotte Law, the editor of Signs & Portents, provides you with all of the information and tips that you need to become a contributor to S&P, and get paid for it! From submission guidelines to writing tips and stylistic instruction, this seminar will answer every question. There will also be a Q&A session at the end, where Charlotte will be joined by S&P and Lone Wolf bonus writer, Darren Pearce, and his wife Gill Pearce, a regular Mongoose Artist.
----------
TIME: 2.30pm - 3.30pm
TITLE: Holy Grails? – Licensing in the RPG Industry
HOST: Angus Abranson and Matthew Sprange
Licensed games have been a stable of the games industry for decades. All sorts of films, comics, TVs and books have been turned into games from titles such as Star Wars, Ghostbusters, Babylon 5, Buffy: The Vampire Slayer, Marvel and Star Trek to titles such as Hercules & Xena, He-Man, Evil Dead and even Dallas!
What's the attraction of licensed games to publishers and fans? What are the rewards and pitfalls?
With a host of licensed games still in the works such as The Dresden Files, Doctor Who and Dragon Age all due out in the next six months companies certainly seem keen on licensed properties.
Matthew and Angus discuss licenses, past and present, and answer questions about these so called "Holy Grails".
