I gave some feedback to the designers on individual games, but now that I can see the bigger picture, I’d like to point on some commonalities and offer critique that I hope will lead to more fun for everyone in the future.

This year’s Ropecon is getting closer and closer. And with it our speculations about the whole shenanigan grow wilder and wilder. For Ropecon has found a new location at Messukeskus Helsinki Expo and Convention Centre and older visitors that have grown accustomed to Dipoli will have to brave the wilds and dare to enter this new environment.

Skenaariot löytyvät täältä. Ne tulevat varmaan jossain välissä myös RopeConin omille sivuille, mutta en löytänyt niitä ainakaan vielä.
I’ve shared my general ideas on the subject before, as well as abandoned idea. This is building on that.
You can find the scenario itself under Resources on top of the page, or here: Elämäni supersankarina (in English: MyLifeasaSuperhero – there’s a proofread version coming when I have the chance).
