M53 Programming Brainstorm

Minicon 53 (2018) will take place March 30-April 1, 2018, at the St. Louis Park Doubletree.

THE MINICON 53 PROGRAMMING BRAINSTORM WIKI page is now open for business!

We intend to have a spiffy online database available eventually for managing programming ideas and volunteers. But until that project comes online, we have the good old Wiki Brainstorm.

• Do you have ideas for programming items for Minicon 53?

• Great! Please email programming@minicon53.mnstf.org with a description of your suggestion. The description does not need to be in final form, but the more detail the better. Please indicate if you would be willing to participate in the programming item yourself, and if you would like to moderate it.

• If you have a login to edit this page and you are comfortable editing a Wiki, feel free to add your ideas below. It would be nice if you would drop a quick email to programming@minicon53.mnstf.org to let us know that you added something.

• If you are an author and would like to schedule a reading and/or signing, send an email to programming@minicon53.mnstf.org.

• To volunteer to be a panelist, send an email to programming@minicon53.mnstf.org.

Your email should include the titles of the panels that you are interested in, schedule limitations, and whether or not you would consider moderating any of the panels that you're volunteering for.

GAMING

Crappy Card Magic Draft

Get rid of some Magic The Gathering cards that never really fit in with your other decks, and maybe gain something useful (probably not). Bring 30 lands (six of each color) and 45 other cards, approximately half spells and half creatures (You can tell if an artifact is closer to a spell or a creature by reading the card). We'll shuffle them all together, then build a 60 card deck with a draft style allocation, and then play. Do not bring cards that you expect to get back.
