SciWorld online convention for roleplayers coming soon

Hi roleplayer dudes! At the start of May there’ll be an online chat event for all us roleplayers called SciWorld. SciWorld isn’t a new thing, it’s been a yearly thing for 10 years, and last year OngoingWorlds had the amazing opportunity to sponsor it, which meant I banged on about it enough to bore you all into a coma! But as it happens, it was all worth it, because it was an amazing event, and loads of roleplayers all got together for a chat, shared ideas, got to know new people, and generally had a good time.

• You can see all our articles about previous SciWorlds here.

This years will be happening on Wednesday May 1st – Friday May 3rd. So that’s a 3 day convention. What’s best (In my opinion) about SciWorld is it’s a convention you can attend in your pyjamas. It’s completely online, and takes place in a chatroom.  Read More

SciWorld Starts Tonight

SciWorld 2012 begins tonight at 7:30 pm, EST and as such at the time of this writing is 12 hours away. After several hard long months of planning all we are waiting for is time to count down. During the event, we will work hard to provide you continuing coverage here (and maybe Facebook). This is about having fun so go out, take a friend or two with you and make some new ones as well as we have the festivities that we are proud to call SciWorld 2012, the tenth SciWorld in history.

SciWorld starts Thursday

Don’t forget about SciWorld, the online chat convention for roleplayers starts thursday (tomorrow) at 23:30 GMT (7:30pm EDT).
