The fairy dust has settled and the magic is ready to unfold! The Intercon Y schedule is up, brimming with over 200 enchanting events to discover, with even more wonders still waiting in the wings!
As we will still be adding more larps and other events to the schedule before signups, keep an eye out for the email just before each round of signups that will be listing all new events!
Please note that this is the last email for this year that goes out to everyone who has ever attended Intercon. Future newsletters will only go to those registered on the Intercon Y website. If you haven’t been in a while, we’d love to have you come back and larp with us!Â
Signups are done using a queue system that automatically clicks for you! Now that the schedule is live, you can add games to your queue, with no need to wait! On November 5th at 7:00PM Eastern time, all queues will be processed to determine what game everyone got first. You can adjust your queue after each round of signups or just set-and-forget, per your preference. A few minutes after the last round of queued signups runs, signup restrictions will be lifted and signing up for a game will just add you to that game or waitlist.Â
New this year, you can designate a wait-list threshold which will determine how deep on the waitlist you’re willing to be placed in each event before the system moves on to the next event in your queue! Additionally, the overall signup order will be re-randomized following rounds 2 and 4.Â
For more information on signups in general, including the queue system but also details like player buckets, please see our Signup FAQ. We also have a detailed how-to on using the queue system, including screenshots, and a suggestions page for different ways to set up your queue based on your priorities (such as “playing with a friend”, “having a single game you really want to get into”, or “fill your schedule as much as possible”).
Please remember that you will need to have a badge for the convention in order to sign up for games. More games are in the proposal pipeline and even more can be added to the schedule as signups progress (if you would like to propose a larp, please send them soon).Â
Note that the final “round” of signups, on November 23rd is actually two rounds, one automatic round, the same as all previous rounds, followed at 7:15 by open signups, where you can directly sign up for as many larps as you like. In other words, there will be five queue-based signup rounds in total before direct signups become available.
This year's signups will be on:
If you have more questions about the signup system that aren’t addressed above, we welcome them in #signups on the Intercon Discord or emailed to signup-system-questions@y.interconlarp.org!Â
There's even more magic at Intercon! Whether you're eager to unravel larp theory, learn a new trick or two, make new friends, or dance the night away, there's a little enchantment for everyone!
Let the Revelry begin! Social events are sprinkled throughout the weekend from delightful meetups to mealtime merriments, from midnight festivities to our faerie circle Thursday Welcome Party. Come find your mischief!
Intercon Y also features a continuous track of drop-in Forum events, beginning when the convention gates open early on Thursday and continuing through Friday afternoon! Join discussions, explore workshops, and exchange ideas with fellow attendees!
And here’s a little fairy gift: Social and Forum events do NOT count against your signup limits! Sign up and express interest for as many as your heart desires, starting right now. This information helps us with planning. Live your very best con!
Per NEIL Policy, everyone attending Intercon Y will be required to do one of the following: either provide proof of having received the latest vaccine dose for COVID-19 OR explicitly opt into a daily rapid testing plan, with the results emailed to ops. This proof of the vaccine OR decision to instead do daily testing must be provided in advance (by January 1, 2027), via email to vaccination@y.interconlarp.org. Full policies are located on the website.Â
The Crowne Plaza is currently sold out, but if you still need hotel space, we have some other options for you. We've put together a page of alternative hotels on our website, and a waitlist form for space at the Crowne Plaza, but availability of spaces is, of course, not guaranteed.Â
If you currently have a room at the Crowne Plaza, and need to cancel it (for whatever reason), please email the hotel coordinator instead of simply canceling it yourself, so we can transfer it to another attendee, rather than risking it going to a non-attendee. Please note that we don't have any relationship with the alternative hotels, they're simply some nearby hotels that claim to have availability and decent ratings from our own Internet searches.Â
Enter the mushroom circle and join us on Intercon’s official Discord! This is an excellent way to meet each other, show off your costuming, and have larp discussions! During the con, this will also be a place for requesting player fills for games with no shows/waitlisters. As the purpose of this Discord is real-world Intercon coordination and so being able to map congoers to Discord users and vice versa is necessary, we do require that Intercon Discord users change their server profile name to unambiguously identify them, ideally the same name used on the Intercon website or your Intercon nickname (if your Intercon website profile isn't your chosen name, you are welcome to change it to be so). You can find detailed instructions on how to change your Discord Server Nickname and we have a simplified text version below:Â
