After skipping LinCon 2023, I went back to Linköping for my tenth convention over the past Ascension weekend. As usual I played some boardgames (Barcelona, Evolution) and attended the auction. But also I heard a lecture by Swen Österberg on the 40-year history of LinCon.
Most importantly to me, I game-mastered at the convention for the first time: three four-hour sessions of Swords of the Serpentine. This is a 2022 table-top role-playing game of mystery-solving in a fantasy version of Venice. All fifteen participants were great to game with and we had a lot of fun together! I hope to game-master at more conventions in the future.
Here are my impressions of LinCon 2022.
