Server Schedule
The Discord server is online all the time now, so the convention channels will open to the public at 6PM on Friday, November 11. We will likely schedule a couple of games Friday evening but this time is mostly dedicated time for attendees to register and chat in the Con Suite.
Hanging Out In The Con Suite

How did we do? Suggestions for the next FnordCon? Remember to complete our FnordCon 6 Survey. - *Tabloids, written by Steve Jackson, is the game of making up news and headlines, just like the tabloids do! Presented with cards that have words and word bits, you, too, can be a writer. Something like this:
VAMPIRE ATTACKS SENATORS WIFE
KENNEDYS VISIT LOCH NESS WITH ELVIS
Or maybe you'll want to say this instead:
ELVIS ATTACKS KENNEDYS VAMPIRE WIFE
