Dean Edgell was a well-known face in the LARP community, both in the Midwest, and here on the East Coast. You may have played with (or against!) him as a player, or played in one of his games: Intrigue in the Clouds (GenCon Milwaukee 1996, Intercon 13.5, (two runs), Intercon XV, Continuum 2004 (England), GenCon, Indy 2004, Intercon G), Intrigue Beneath the Waves (GenCon Milwaukee 1997, Intercon E, GenCon Indy 2003, GenCon Indy 2005), or The Prince’s Diamond Jubilee (Intercon 12.5, Intercon C). You may have also seen or played in works to which he contributed, including Champions Presents #1, Champions Presents #4, and Adventure for Champions: Blood Fury.

Dean passed away on December 30th, 2007, after a lengthy and courageous battle with cancer. Friends are gathering on Friday night of Intercon at Midnight to raise a glass to the memory of this good friend, talented writer and GM, and dashing gentleman.

You are welcome to join us for an out-of-game toast to Dean. The room will be available for folks to hang out and share stories and memories of Dean, if they wish to. Contact Kate with questions, if there are any. No signup is necessary to participate-- bring your cup and/or beverage to toast at midnight on Friday night. Kate, Marc, and Eileen invite folks who knew Dean, or enjoyed his games to come by for the toast, and stay (or not) as long as they like.

Blumberg, Marc

Bunting, Kate

Kate was introduced to LARP by nefarious individuals she has known since preschool, who may well be in attendance at this very convention. They know who they are, and apparently feel no guilt about their dastardly deeds. In the intervening time (ten-ish years?), Kate was a player in the DC-based "Mersienne" campaign, and the "1936: Horror" campaign, then sold her soul (or just sold out?) and became a staff member for the "1948: Signals" campaign, played the "Brassy's Men" series, and is currently staffing the "Threads of Damocles" campaign. Her writing and GM credits include the full-weekend LARP "Drink Deeper," occasional scenarios for DC-local campaign games, and ill-advised-but-ultimately-successful forays into bulk cooking and LARP catering. Despite rumors to the contrary, Kate is not a narc.

Kate is honored to be assisting "Team Brit" as the token Yankee delegate for the reprisal of "Railways." It has been surmised that being genetically British, and having lived in the UK have contributed to her selection for this post, or that her obsession with frockage is fueling Sue's own addiction... The truth probably lies somewhere in between.
