Kate "The Wrong Kate" Bunting
Unterwebmeister and Prechair
GM for: Archangels
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 (twelve-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 staffed three seasons of the "Threads of Damocles" campaign. Her writing and GM credits include the full-weekend LARP "Drink Deeper," & occasional scenarios for DC-local campaign games. This is the fourth time Kate's come to Intercon floor GMing for other peoples' games, including "Intrigue in the Clouds," for Dean Edgell; "Railways & Responsibility" with Team Brit, and "Tithing Times" with Tegan Hendrickson, apparently making it a habit. Despite (persistent) rumors to the contrary, Kate is not a narc.

Bid Committee
Twenty five years ago, someone told me about this LARP thing, and then told me that I couldn't play, because the weekend murder mystery games of the time were always full. That didn't seem fair, so I wrote a game so that I could play. I've been writing and running games ever since.
When I found out that there were other people writing and running games, I wanted to play, and it was great. When I found out that there were whole conventions filled with games, I went and had an extraordinary time. It was always a big deal to travel so far to play, so I, along with many others, decided that we needed a convention closer to us. That birthed the modern northern Intercons, and I've been a part of the con staff since the very beginning.
I certainly didn't expect that we'd be where we are today. I love it. This con and these games rock. I'm proud of my contribution to the effort.
Come drink some port with me to celebrate twenty five years at this!

Amelia Ellingboe
GM for: The Anthropophagy Society
Julia "Julia" Ellingboe
GM for: Diamonds and Coal, The Anthropophagy Society
Julia Ellingboe rarely talks about herself in the third person. Julia is the designer of the small press published table top rpg Steal Away Jordan (LARP version available when hell freezes over), and the perennially forthcoming Tales of the Fisherman's Wife, among other things. She recently penned a campaign frame for Galileo Games' Mortal Coil called Hag Ride.
She and fellow Western Mass game designer Emily Boss put together What To Do About Tam Lin for Intercon J, and then Fastaval in Aarhus, Denmark.
When Julia isn't thinking about games, she works with developmentally disabled children, and is working towards certification as a Behavior Analyst. Julia plays the autoharp and always sets off the metal detectors in airports. She has two children, three hateful cats, and a African Clawed Frog that no one cares about but her. She is a Virgo, her favorite color is purple, favorite food is sushi, and doesn't understand America's obsession with bacon and Dancing with the Stars.

As the Intercon Muse I help provide 'motivation' and 'inspiration' to various functions of the Con. Things like artistic support and when we used to have a Con Suite I would cook yummy food so we could survive the battles of characters unmet and yet unconquered.
What keeps me going... dark chocolate, dancing and a good massage. Oh and the hair tussling! :-)

Jeff "Ginger" Holmes
GM for: The Calling: Defending The Vale
As you enter the western caves, an unearthly chill goes down your spine. Suddenly, the fiendish monster, summoned by the raffle-troll to plague the Kingdom of Interconk, rises up out of the mist. He brandishes a deadly boffer blade at you, and you quake in your boots. This is no mere common ghast; it is a Soulless Redhead! Luckily, you know how to defeat the demonic Redheads. You say, "Semloh Ffej, Semloh Ffej, Semloh Ffej!" and he shrieks and disappears in a ginger colored Poof of Evil.

Shelly was introduced to LARP by being beaten repeatedly with plumbing supplies. In other words, her entrance to the LARP universe was through Dagorhir, a live combat battlegame, just a year or so after that game was founded. She has not looked back since then.
Shelly has written for several campaigns, including The Alternate Realities Campaign (ARC), 1948: Signals, 1936: Horror, and XPI. She has also collaborated on some stand-alone works, such as Ogun's Birthday Party, Drink Deep III, Worlds End and The End of Sacred Months. She has threatened to write a game based solely on Bloodhound Gang lyrics, but so far the medication is working.
Shelly swears this game is totally all John Kammer's fault...

The legendary Alex Newman was raised on a parallel Earth where his plane crashed in the Himalayas – er, the parallel Himalayas.
Not ours.
There he was taught the secret of clouding mens' minds by monks. Parallel monks. Stop laughing. He fought crime for many years until a group of his arch enemies (can you have a "group" of arch enemies?) banded together in a sinister plot to exile him through a hole in the space-time continuum into a parallel universe. That is, parallel to that one. Which they thought of as the real universe but which you think of as a parallel universe. Unless you're also from there, in which case you think of this one as the parallel… Oh, screw it.
Alex Newman is the founder of The Boston Babydolls (www.BostonBabydolls.net) and has been involved in various aspects of Intercon on and off for many years.

I've sailed all over the world, from Redemption, Arizona to Al-Ashtara in Arabia, and I've got a map that will lead you to buried treasure!” He offers you a scroll covered in dotted lines and Xs.

The years, like dust, they scatter in the air
My soul doth quail to see them past and gone
But now my loins I gird, my soul prepare
For this my seventh time at Intercon.
How short the time has seemed, in mine own view
Since last I walked to consuite, feet unshod
To stuff my face with onion dip and stew
(Provisions for the man who would play god).
But now, my stars! What changes have been wrought?
A new hotel? Will my nostalgia grown
Fall victim to the shock of being brought
To somewhere that my soul has never known?
And yet, by heaven, this cannot be wrong:
My Intercon, my home, here I belong.

Alison Joy Schafer

You make your way to Castle Engineering. As you approach, the drawbridge is lowered by robots and before you stands the Lady of the Castle. “Welcome, brave adventurer” she greets you. “Since Mario and Link are busy, we have great need of a hero to fight the monsters that plague the lands of Interconk, and we have chosen you. You must choose a quest. To the south, there is a raffle-troll dwelling beneath the Bridge of Lost Languages, and now will not let travelers pass. And to the west, a soulless ghast has been summoned to haunt the caves located there. You must defeat one of these monsters and bring me back the head as proof of your victory. But first, rest and enjoy some desert.” As you enjoy cake artistically frosted with fondant, you notice tapestries on the walls, depicting scenes from a Western town called Redemption, the Arabian city of Al-Ashtara, and the magical lands of Elanthia.

As you set foot on the Bridge of Lost Languages, you hear a cackling. Out from under the shadows beneath the bridge steps the fearful little raffle-troll. It has been haunting the Kingdom of Interconk for 5 years, though it bears the mark of the Heroes of Ashcroft. Before it can start to babble about costuming or skiing, your knees begin to shake with fright. “I am the Troll of-” it begins, but before it can say anything more, you are overcome with terror, drop your lunch, and flee in a blind panic.
