Consternation, the Cambridge games con next year, has a new GOH: Allen Varney. Here's the announcement from the Consternation mailing list.

Following the unfortunate loss of our first GoH, the committee of Consternation are happy to be able to announce that we have found a replacement.

Allen Varney is an American games author; his latest published work is *Paranoia XP*, the new version of the classic RPG, and he is continuing to produce supporting material for that game under contract to Mongoose Publishing. Allen has also published three board games, seven books, over two dozen roleplaying supplements for *AD&D*, *Champions*, *Mage*, *Earthdawn*, *Toon*, and others, and 250+ articles, columns, and reviews. He laid out and helped edit the Pelgrane Press *Dying Earth* RPG, and his 100-player business ethics simulation game, "Executive Challenge", was covered in the Wall Street Journal.

We look forward to welcoming Allen to Consternation.


As far as I know I'm still UK GOH, though since I'm not mentioned I suppose I'd better check. Yup, I appear to be.

Oh bollocks, I completely forgot about Consternation and missed the cheap deadline. Gah.

Cool picture of you, though.

Do you have an address for the mailing list? It's not mentioned on the website.

I think you're added to the list if you give an e-mail address when you join.

Ah, that makes sense.

" You can tell it's edited because I don't actually own a tie, let alone a dinner jacket."

But you are blurry like that in real life.

I kind of liked: "Marcus has most recently demonstrated his admirably twisted imagination with the deeply bizarre Diana: Warrior Princess. "

A twisted imagination is always good to have around.

It looks like they are trying to make you a character in your own game. Cool picture and congrats on being uk goh.
