StagConf is a European conference on stories and games, to be held in Vienna’s adorably insane Natural History Museum (the world’s maddest, overflowingest taxidermy displays, including a broke-necked giraffe with Frankenstein stitches, an infamous alcoholic chimp, and many other critters etoufees). It’s a one-day affair, on Sept 27: “You will meet game designers and writers who have worked on games in every imaginable form: from adventures to MMOs, from AAA console to the web, from social games to pen and paper RPGs.” (Thanks, Alice!)
