Con-Volution 2017 is pleased to announce our Fan Guests of Honor, Mette Hedin and Bryan Little! Mette and Bryan are well known to costumers, although many folks may not know who is behind the costumes. They are actively involved in SciFi fandom (especially Doctor Who), and are avid gamers. Their costume ideas come from all of these interests. Mette is a bit more involved in prosthetics, while Bryan is more involved with props. In the words of Bryan, "Mette and I have now been costuming together for 17 years and we have built costumes together and solo, some for hall costuming and some for masquerade entries, but we always costume together and will help each other with advice or details." Mette adds, "And now we have the immense honor of being fan guests of honor for our favorite local convention (Con-Volution)! So please come find us at the convention if you have any questions/problems/tips/ideas or just want to hang out in general!"

TODAY at 5PM in Parlor room 2021 (2nd floor) our favorite LARP maven Acata Fenton and fellow GM Aaron Sunshine are running "Dungeons and Delegates," a high intensity MIT style Live Action Roleplay game at Con-Volution 2016. Are you ready to join the monster revolution? In the world of D&D, monsters and humans have always had an uneasy coexistence (at best), but the invention of the "gun" threatens to tip the balance in favor of the humans. Take on the persona of a leader of a monster race and immerse yourself in politics, negotiations and combats that will determine if there is a place for your race in this new world. Will you fight the humans? Or flee before them, allowing them to drive you into obscurity? #convolution2016 #larp (at Hyatt Regency San Francisco Airport)
