PhilCon Schedule Update
The update for my panel scheduling at PhilCon has come through, and I’ve been added to two new panels. Here are the panels, along with times and locations, you can expect to find me at:
Fri 8:00 PM in Salon 1 (1 hour)
BEST… COMIC-BOOK MOVIE… EVER!: THE COMICS ON FILM AND TV (399)
[Panelists: Glenn Hauman (mod), Mike Pederson, J. Andrew World,
Jennifer Williams, Kimberly Ann Kindya, Daniel Burnet]
We’ve seen the best, like SPIDERMAN or BATMAN BEGINS. We’ve seen the worst, like THE PUNISHER, or BATMAN & ROBIN. But what makes a great comic-book movie or TV series? What changes should and should not be made to adapt a classic comic-book to the screen.
Fri 9:00 PM in Salon 2 (1 hour)
WHO AM I? WHO IS HE? CHARACTER CREATION IN LITERATURE AND ROLE-PLAYING
GAMES (548)
[Panelists: Alex Padilla (mod), Danielle Ackley-McPhail, Eric Avedissian, Daniel Burnet, John Wright]
Join our panelists in a discussion about character creation in fiction and role-playing. They will be looking at the similarities and differences in the process within the different genres
Sat 11:00 AM in Salon 2 (1 hour)
O’ WHAT A BRAVE NEW WORLD: WORLD BUILDING IN LITERATURE AND
ROLE-PLAYING GAMES (547)
[Panelists: Alex Padilla (mod), Eric Avedissian, Michael Ryan, Daniel Burnet, Mike McPhail]
Join our panelists in a discussion of world building from different perspectives: that of fiction and role-playing games.

[Panelists: Michael Miller (mod), Eric Avedissian, Brennan Taylor, Tony DiGerolamo, Daniel Burnet]
Join our panelists as they discus getting games published whether independently or through larger companies
Sun 10:00 AM in Parlor A (1 hour)
THE “BALONIUM” FACTOR (432)
[Panelists: Daniel Burnet (mod), JJ Brannon, Ariel Cinii, John
Wright]
Balonium is that substance or effect that suspends the laws of the universe as the plot requires, producing cheap interstellar travel, time travel, egg-laying alien princesses and the inexplicably powered sandworms of Dune. Yet we know all of these things are impossible. Can science fiction be written about things that are actually possible without using liberal doses of Balonium?
Philcon Gaming Panels
I have confirmed that I will be on three panels at Philcon next month, the Character Creation in Roleplaying and Fiction, World Building in Roleplaying and Fiction, and Game Publishing 101.
Anyone who’s interested in any of these things is encouraged to come to Philcon and attend. I’m more than happy to discuss things before and after panels, and would love a chance to get to know a few readers in person. If plan on coming, drop me a line and let me know at Daniel (at) AlephGaming.com
Aleph Fantasy Preview and Demos
The Preview for Aleph Fantasy will be released on November 16th, and made available for free PDF download. A Pre-Release Event is being held at PhilCon that same weekend, where demos of the game will be run for free.
Aleph Fantasy uses the new Aleph System, which features:
- The new Continuous Combat System, which provides roundless combat.
- Non-linear class design, giving players a new level of control in how they advance
- A percentile skill system, where growth depends on Intelligence and use, not character level.
- A new magic system, leaving Spell Levels and the old Fire-and-Forget systems behind.
- One of the industry’s easiest Multi-Classing systems.
