Many works of fantasy are set in alternate versions of our own world, often where the medieval and the magical meet. What additional challenges do authors face in the creation of historical fantasy??
being able to find cosplays from items you have in your closet.
Having the right foundation can vastly improve the look of a cosplay. This panel covers the often overlooked realm of what is worn underneath the costume. We will discuss both masculine and feminine undergarments for varying body types and across gender presentations (crossplay). Learn how the right foundation can help your cosplays lay smoother on your body, create an idealized ‘anime’ figure, keep your privates private, and overall enhance your cosplay!
Discussing experimental archaeology, historical reenactment, recreating the past for recreation, and what we learn from them all.
Not quite finished with your Masquerade costume or latest project? Do you need to make some last-minute alterations? Bring your supplies and commiserate with fellow procrastinators!

Inexpensive ways to make cosplays.
There are a lot of things that are different about us that some may think would make it impossible to do a craft, but it turns out that if you want to create bad enough, nothing can get in your way. Our panelists will talk about how their disabilities have altered how they do their craft, and sometimes even enhanced the outcomes.
I will have a set of PowerPoint slides depicting five stages of evolving life from the Precambrian Eon through the Cretaceous Period, each ending in massive species extinctions.
Join Clan Volos, a branch of the E.M.P as its members engage in medieval armored combat.Ask questions and learn about this fun hobby. Hosted by: Warrick Of Clan Volos
The history as well as a demonstration on Redwork. I will be teaching you the stitches used in this art form. If you have been outlining figures with a backstitch thinking that is old-fashioned, you NEED to take this class. The Kensington Outline Stitch seems to be lost if the photos on transfer books are any indication. I was taught embroidery a half-century ago by my grandmother who was taught by a Victorian woman. This will be a make and take.
Update on dealing with the many thousands of junk objects orbiting Earth and efforts to deal with this severe problem.
A workshop to learn the basics of making chain mail for use as armor or jewelry. Tools and supplies will be supplied.
Bring your sketchbook (or just a pencil), chat (or not) and draw anything, no stress, no judgement, just good clean fun.

Before we contact extraterrestrial civilizations, we can practice communicating with alien intelligences right here. Researchers are trying to create a lexicon of dolphin vocalizations in the Caribbean, elephants communicate in frequencies that humans are just learning to “see” with spectrograms and, as programmers inch their way toward a general AI, the question is if it will “think” in a way we can fathom.The link for this hybrid panel is:https://zoom.us/j/97046046082?pwd=N...
How to implement the rules of consent into your language and every day life. It’s not just about sex and dealing with partners.
We will share the latest gadgets, apps, books, etc. we have run across that can make life easier for dyslexics. That "we" includes not just the panel but the audience.
