Wyrd Con V, Interactive Storytelling Convention, Announces Special Guests and Events in Launch of KickStarter on Christmas Day

Popular Storytelling, Gaming, Costuming, and LARP Convention comes of age as it moves to Los Angeles.

Wyrd Con V is an interactive storytelling convention to be held at the Westin Los Angeles Airport in May of 2014. Wyrd Con convention funding will be launched on the popular crowd funding website Kickstarter with a goal of funding the convention. Wyrd Con V will be the biggest, most well-attended Wyrd Con yet.

Wyrd Con V will host several high profile speakers including:

-Jim Butcher (#1 NY Times Bestselling Author – Dresden Files, Codex Alera, Cinder Spires),

-Todd McCaffrey (NY Times Bestselling Author – The One Tree of Luna, City of Angels, Steam Walker, Dragonriders of Pern, Dragonwriter),

-Christie Golden (7x NY Times Bestselling Author – World of Warcraft: War Crimes, Ravenloft, StarCraft, Star Wars: Fate of the Jedi, Blackbeard: The Lost Journal, Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag),

-Flint Dille (Multiple Awards Winner – Google’s Ingress ARG, Social Storm for DARPA, Primacy, Diablo III, The Book of Cain),

-Micky Neilson (#2 NY Times Bestselling Author – Blizzard Entertainment, World of Warcraft: Ashbringer), and

-True Thomas (High Poet – Southern California Celtic Community).

Wyrd Con V will also host special events, including the Order of Umbra, a Storytelling Contest, Dinners, Dance Parties, Masters Classes, Crafting and Costume Contests, and Starship Valkyrie.

Wyrd Con is geeky in a different way because its focus is modern storytelling, specifically a cross-over from simple roleplaying and LARPing to trans-media, interactive entertainment, augmented reality, and theme parks. This year, there are three themes. Theme one is ‘What is,’ which is designed to give patrons a tour of different toolsets used at Wyrd Con. Theme two is ‘Mixing Toolsets,’ referring to using multiple tools (LARP, ARG) together for one storytelling experience. The final theme is ‘Creation,’ which is designed to focus on creating concepts needed to use the various toolsets described above. These themes are meant to ensure a truly interactive storytelling experience.

Wyrd Con offers rewards for KickStarter contributors. The Steward Badge includes a bundle of extras, and Wyrd Con V will also have many other add-ons for contributors. Further, certain KickStarter contributors will be rewarded with private meals with some of these celebrities.

Nintendo Wii U Christmas 2013 Sale, Info and Review at Thankshopping.com

Nintendo Wii U Christmas 2013 Sale, Info., and Review can be viewed on the site http://www.thankshopping.com/nintendo-wii-u

Thankshopping.com, a website that provides list of gift recommendations for the upcoming holiday season, has recently added the game console Nintendo Wii U to its list. Despite being launched last year, Thankshopping.com predicts that Nintendo Wii U will see a substantial increase in sales yet again during the holiday season since it is a more affordable option next to Xbox One and PlayStation 4.

Price and information on the Nintendo Wii U is now available on Thankshopping.com, and its full review highlighting the console’s pros and cons has also been shared.

The media spokesperson of the Thankshopping.com stated, “If you can’t purchase the Xbox One or PlayStation 4 then you are left with Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, or Nintendo Wii U. Clearly the Nintendo Wii U is the next best option because it is based on the latest graphical technology after Xbox One and PlayStation 4. But another reason why Nintendo is still a favorite amongst many gaming enthusiasts is that it is a more ‘fun’ console since most of its popular games are based on light minded plots, making it perfect entertainment device for families and friends.”

The spokesperson further advised that interested individuals who are seeking for discounts on the console should check for any Christmas Nintendo Wii U Deals, as additional savings are available during those days.

“The Nintendo Wii U has another key advantage of being both a TV gaming console and a portable gaming console. The touch screen on the controller of the Nintendo Wii U also adds another dimension to the games which was considered very innovative when it was first released. Overall, the Wii U is nearly quarter or even one fifth of what PlayStation 4 and Xbox One costs depending on the deal being offered. This financial aspect will play huge part in its increased sales during the holiday season”, concluded the spokesperson.

Thankshopping.com is a website that provides recommendations on holiday gifts and reviews of numerous popular gadgets and consumer electronics. The website, http://www.thankshopping.com, offers recommendations based on the projected demand of the products during these holidays. Thankshopping.com has also reviewed all of their recommendations, providing an insightful analysis of each item and mentioning its pros and cons. Nintendo Wii U’s Price Check on Amazon.com is available on the site as well.
