ZamCon2

For everybody who may not have heard the news yet, there's a discussion about planning a second ZamCon. No specifics have been said yet regarding place and time of the convention but there are already many suggestions for what people want to see/experience there.

Here's the (German) thread: https://nachtschule-verein.de/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=164

Hope to see some of you there 😊

Some ZamCon pictures. I didn’t want any pictures with people on them (because asking for permission blabla) but I hope some more pictures will be posted on the Nocturnal Academic site.

The ZamCon quiz! 

Transation under the “Read more”

1. The Uggly potion

The Uggly Agneza Izzinoa wants to brew the famous beauty potion by her notorious ancestor Aznega Oizizna, but the recipe seems very puzzeling.

In which order does she have to add the ingredients into the cauldron?

Recipe: 

I. Ingredients with the same first letter must always be added directly after another!

II. Kraut/herb must be followed directly bei Eiter/pus!

III. Grün/Green follows blau/blue, but weiß/white never comes before rot/red!

(I’m not gonna translate the names of the ingredients because the puzzle might not work with a translation - but I think you can solve it with the given German/English translations)

2. Bluebear: True or False?

Which sentences are a lie?

A Bluebear got his name by to Babbling Billows.

B Bluebear has an encyclopedia in his head.

C Bluebear invented the lie accompanied by music in his first congladiator duel.

D Bluebear got his red jumper by Deus X. Machina.

E Bluebear transformed into a sardine when he fell from the Gloombergs.

3. The Hackonian puzzle

Is this a beautifull flower?

A Yes!

B Yes!

4. Earspoonlet puzzle

The earspoonlet brought his favourite sounds. What can be heard?

(I didn’t listen to it, sadly, so I can’t tell you what it was)

5. The chimaera from netherworld

Homunkels are an artificially created species from Hel in Netherworld. Legend says that horrible chimaeras arose from the first alchemic experiments that led to the creation of the mother soup.

Which life forms are part of this chimaera?

6. Undercover booklings

Many Zamonian authors, whohad great succes with their works, also published their works in other languages on other continents where humans life. For this, they changed their names to anagrams. 

Some booklings dedicate themselves specifically to this non-Zamonian works.

Which, in this part of the world, famous authors hide behinde this names?

Malte Rowers - The maze of halluzinating documents

Sekretär Nich - The hovering formroom

Erich Drillefrisch - The bandits

Cora Eulenfink - Writing liquid life end (all glory to the German compounds!)

Baronin van Mitte - The Life of countess Gritta of ratsathomewithus/ Das Leben der Hochgräfin Gritta von Rattenzhausbeiuns (original titel/Orginaltitel)

The schedule for ZamCon is online! 

I’m really exited guys! The convention will start at 10.00 and end around 18.00 (good for people like me who live in a reasonable but not too close distance). 

I don’t really have time to translate everything now, might get to that in the evening, so here is just a short excerpt:

There are three roome: The Congladiator-Arena, the Catacombs and the classroom. At 10.00 the convention will be opened in the Congladiator-Arena, afterwards there will be a reading out of fanworks by their authors. Later on there will be music, a Zamonia-quiz and awards for the quiz and the costume contest (I don’t think I will have time to prepare a costume, nooooooo :((((( ).

Andreas Fröhlich will hold a reading at 15.00, also in the Congladiator-arena.

And there will be a pen & paper and a roleplay session, both at 10.30 in the classroom (I don’t know if they use different systems or anything - I don’t think I will participate but I would definitively like to watch a bit, in case the use a proper P&P System - maybe some ‘moded’ DSA/TDA or D&D?).

So yeah, I’m really looking forward to this! If anyone of you plans to go (and maybe has some tickets already), just write me and we can wander around together. I would also love to throw together a costume but I don’t want to dress up alone :D I will try to take as many pictures as possible and write down everything that happens.

So, I booked my ticket for ZamCon 🙌 who else will be there? Bochum is just an hour from where I live, but I'm thinking about staying there overnight because my last train home would depart at 10 pm or something.
