2009-07-15: Pirate Jenny is under way!
by Emily
There will be a new group in town at GenCon Indy this year. In the tradition of PlayCollective and Design Matters, six gaming companies and a gang of enthusiastic gamers will hit the decks as Pirate Jenny in August. It's a great crew, though some folks will be taking part remotely. Curse this downturn in the economy! Here's the personae and games that we'll have in tow:
- Emily Care Boss of Black and Green Games, with Sign in Stranger, first human colony on an alien world, and RPG = Role Playing Girl, a zine about women and gaming.
- Julia Bond Ellingboe of Stone Baby Games, with Tales of the Fisherman's Wife, a game of demons, flirtation and temptation.
- Anna Kreider of Tasty Bacon Games, with Thou Art but a Warrrior, a Polaris Mod, and her fantastic original art.
- Danielle Lewon of Cream Alien Games, with Kagematsu, a game of samurai, honor, desperation and love.
- Kat and Michael S. Miller, of Incarnadine Press, with Serial Homicide Unit, the killer is out on the streets tonight.
- Michelle Mishko, expert GM and cat wrangler, kicking ass and taking names.
- Terry Hope Romero, long-time gamer and vegan cook extraordinaire, to demo and raise a ruckus.
- Elizabeth Shoemaker of Two Scooters Press, with Homecoming, one soldier's story.
Plus of course, the older games of all these folks. It's a grand thing to see so many games from women! A sign of the times.
We've got a blog where we'll post updates:

*Great* line-up. I like this idea.
Pity I won't be making it to GenCon this year. :-P

So, hang on. Does this mean that the final version of Sign In Stranger will be available? That's not just an ashcan?

OMG so much awesome in one space. Now I'm a little sad i'm not going this year.

Wow, that looks awesome. This is my first year going to Gen Con, awesome that I'll get to see Pirate Jenny.

Yay! Thanks everyone. Dangit Matt and Fred. How are we going to have fun if you're not there?!
Seth: I've finally got the rules for playing 1-3 sessions down, but am still going for the gold on the long term game. So it's still an ashcan, but on the way to the final!

Very frickin' cool.
Wish I could be there, without actually doing all the, you know, con stuff.

We'll have to arrange some kind of other rendezvous sometime. How close are you to Madison, WI?

Wow! I hope you have a great time at that booth! How I'd like to see a "womanned" booth at a con, I hope the idea spreads thanks to your example!
