IF-Related Events
- Storytelling in the world of interactive fiction
- (Friday, March 26th, 5:30pm-6:30pm, Wyvern Theatre)
Text adventures have been quietly experimenting with narrative gaming for thirty years. Five authors from the amateur interactive fiction community discuss the design ideas in their games -- reordered storylines, unreliable narrators, deeply responsive NPCs -- and how they apply to other kinds of games. (Rob Wheeler (mod.), Robb Sherwin, Aaron Reed, Emily Short, Andrew Plotkin)
- GET LAMP Panel/Screening
- (Friday, March 26th, 9:30pm, Naga Theatre)
Premiere of Get Lamp!
The current plan as approved by the PAX organizers is the showing of the main GET LAMP episode at 9:30, followed by a panel on stage of people interviewed for the film, and then some showings of a few more features of the DVD after that, including the Infocom and Bedquilt episodes.
- Purple Blurb
- (Monday, March 29th, 6 pm? Nick Montfort's office)
Emily Short and Jeremy Freese present IF at MIT.

The IF Suite
I (zarf) have reserved a large suite on the top floor of the Back Bay Hilton. (Room number TBA.) We have the room from Thursday afternoon until Monday morning, although I currently plan to clear out on Sunday evening.
This shall be called the "People's Republic of Interactive Fiction Hospitality Suite".
The plan is to have the door open through Friday, Saturday, and some of Sunday. It will be both a rendezous/hangout point for mudders and IF community folks, and a publicity center for newcomers interested in IF.
Ideas:
- Chips, soda, M&Ms in mass quantities
- A Speed-IF at some point in the weekend
- Maybe some scheduled discussions beyond the official PAX panel
- Fliers: we should have a stack of fliers describing the suite and all PAX IF events, official and unofficial. Leave on free-flier tables in the convention center.
- Badge ribbons for all of us ("Grue lover"? "Ask me about Interactive Fiction"? "Lost in a maze of twisty little passages"?)
- Badge stickers for anyone who drops by the suite (may be same as ribbons)
