MESCon 2023 Pre-Registration Open

The registration for MES Con 2023 is now open!!

There are two places you will need to go. To pay for your ticket into the convention, please go here: http://events.r20.constantcontact.com/register/event?oeidk=a07ejpj8gif86c431c0&llr=peydj7sab

There are two tiers for tickets. 

Tier 1 – Basic

– Pre-reg closes August 20th, 2023

– $65 for entry into the con

The price increases to $75 at the door after registration for Tier 1 closes. 

Tier 2 – VIP

– Closes July 1st

– $85 for entry into the con

– 3 metal RPS cards (same backs as last year, but new front design)

– 5 Fuel

– 5 Willpower

– $20 you can spend at the online or live auctions. 

Please note that we are not selling Fuel or Willpower during the convention, making the VIP ticket the only means by which you can purchase them.

The second place is this google form to submit your characters, which you can find here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfDGkL_7XLe_hWXxemS95_yZuBEeUC4yK5uPqvDbyyXRNYpiA/viewform

We are using the same type of form as we did for Con Discordia. Because the approvals database is not likely to be functional before MES Con 2023, we will require people to submit their character sheets via the registration form above. Further details and instructions can be found in the form itself. 

The con schedule and auction schedule are still being finalized, and will be released once they are all set. 

And finally, I am still looking for volunteers to help with the convention. In addition to the lead positions listed below, people who can help assist in these and other areas are needed. So even if you are unable to be a lead, we can certainly still use the help. 

Decor Lead: Responsible for setting up and breaking down decour for each game. 

Security Lead: Responsible to help ensure the safety and wellbeing of the convention goers.

Con Discordia 2023 Registration Form:

Additionally, the Board of Directors, the NST, and the NC have each requested a Q&A session during the convention. Here are the Google form you can use to submit questions ahead of the con. Each of these forms will close in one week’s time (Thursday, May 11th) in order to give each office time to process questions. Each officer may take additional questions as time permits during their respective Q&A. Also, we will be recording these
sessions and making them available to the club as a whole. Please note that this does not replace the required Q&A the Board of Directors is obligated to hold during our annual MES Con event. The game schedule will not change, we are working the Q&A’s around the existing game schedule, which will be finalized next week.

NC Q&A Form:

Lastly, the server is not ready to receive people yet. We will be giving the invite link at some point next week. You must have a current and active MES Membership OR a Trial Membership in order to attend Con Discordia 2023.

More details on the auction will come closer to this date. Server details will also come closer to the con’s date so that staff have the time to set things up. The con itself is free to all members, and we will
require verification of your current MES status. So please make sure your membership is up to date prior to this con.

We are of course in need of staff. If you are interested in volunteering for the ST side of things, you can contact the NST at nst@st.modernenigmasociety.org. If you are interested in helping to staff
the event itself, please reach out to me at nca@nca.modernenigmasociety.org.

Changelings, also known as the Lost, are humans who were abducted by the Fae. Unlike most who suffer this fate, the Lost have managed to find their way back through the Hedge (the barrier between our world and the fairy world) to the mortal world, but their time in the Faerie realm (Arcadia) has irrevocably changed their bodies, minds and souls. A Changeling’s true, inhuman mien is hidden by his Mask, the aspect of Fae magic that makes Faerie creatures and artefacts seem mundane to mortal eyes. Very few Changelings are able to reclaim their old lives, or make entirely new ones without retaining ties to the fae realm.

Changeling: The Lost is a game about people in awful situations, who have mustered the strength to move on. It’s about learning to survive in a new world, one that looks like the one you grew up in, but one you’ll never see the same way because of what you’ve been through. It’s about struggling to find a balance between facing the world, and looking back and healing. It’s about knowing that you could become a victim at any time, and trying to walk the line between security and paranoia. It’s about staying safe while not consuming your life by dwelling on the past. It’s about dealing. It’s about growing. It’s about healing.
