It’s that time of the year again! Ladies and gentlemen, please give it up for ADBMM 2012!

If you’re unaware of what ADBMM is, I’ve prepared an FAQ that you can find here.

This year I have many things planned, in and out of the cavern. But unlike last year, the activities that are planned to take place during the month of May will be condensed into a one week mega event. The week in question will be Sunday, May 13th through Saturday, May 19th.

Also new this year, we are being sponsored by the Guild of New Greeters! The New Greeters* will be there during most of the planned in-cavern events to help explorers, old and new, have the best time possible.

Also ALSO new this year, we have a very special event planned for Saturday, May the 19th at 2:30 PM EDT/12:30 KI Time. In association with the Falling Man Group, Taniith and I will be hosting the first ever Online Mysterium in Kirel!

With the Guilds of Uru as our theme, we have special events planned, guest Q&A’s lined up, and slots open for special presentations from explorers like you! Not to mention, an extra special appearance by one of the fathers of the Myst series, Rand Miller!!

-

So here’s the low down with all of this. During this great month of April we will finish planning the events scheduled for May. Again, there are multiple slots open for marker games, Mysterium presentations, and cavern events you’d like to be a part of the week’s roster. If you would like one of said activity/presentation slots to be yours, PM me and we’ll sort out the details.

As with last year’s ADBMM, many of the month’s activities take place outside the cavern. This year, while the cavern events will be condensed into one week, the out of cavern events will carry on through the entire month of May (May 1st through 31st). Also like last year, there are scores involved with each and everything Myst related you do in the month of May. For a complete list of eligible activities and rules of score submission, visit the following link.

I do hope you will join in and be a part. Last year was lots of fun, and this year can only get better!

For the calender of events, please check the next post in this thread or visit the New Greeters Calender.

NOTE: The following positions are currently available for the cavern week of ADBMM 2012: contest judges, chatloggers, and marker game coordinators. PM me if you’re interested.

*While I am a member of the New Greeters, ADBMM is a project of my own that is now running its second year. The other New Greeters have voted to sponsor the event in a majority vote by their own conscience.

Just ducking my head in to confirm that this is in fact an official mini-Mysterium event and that I'll be helping to host the Q&A. See here for details: http://www.mysterium.net/2012/04/adbmm-mini-mysterium/

When you say that Rand and Robyn are going to attend, d'you mean that they're actually going to be in the Cavern?

If by actually you mean sitting at a computer typing away via an avatar on Uru Live, then yes!

Of course I mean that! And really? Really really? Like, I'll be able to talk to THE Miller brothers?

Of course you'll be able to talk to them. However, there is no guarantee they will be able to stay longer than the Q&A session. (They may stay and chat, but that will be at their descression.)

Although, for the sake of order, you need to leave any questions in the question thread (Link above.).

I think seeing them and saying 'hi' will be enough. Though a talk would be simply amazing...

I did, prior to the start of development of MagiQuest Online, propose what I believed was seamless way to do exactly that. It was considered "interesting." I also wanted a cone to be placed somewhere inconspicuous. Alas.

Can you shine any light on this?

LOL. Seriously? Robyn had nothing to do with it, Rand wouldn't remember or wasn't aware, and the "interesting" quote came from Rick Briggs, then CEO of Creative Kingdoms, and, later, Cyan President Tony Fryman when Rick forwarded it on to him. I'm sure they find a lot of things interesting, but looking back I'm sure it was a lot more fun to think about than implement and it was premature to consider. My proposal/outline was well ahead of any short term concerns we had to actually get done, and was of questionable benefit in hindsight. MOULa didn't exist at the time, which is part of the reason I even proposed it, but now MOULa does exist, so there isn't much point.

I have good and bad news guys. Bad news is that Robyn Miller has had to cancel his appearance due to various reasons. Robyn gave his apologies to anyone who's disappointed by this.

The good news is that Rand is still scheduled to appear. If anything happens in the mean time I will send out an update. Until then, feel free to continue leaving questions for Rand!

Thanks!

Absolutely; but don't fret! He's hard at work on getting The Immortal Augustus Gladstone to market, as are the other guys on the film team. So I suppose we're trading a Q&A for an awesome documentary, which in my book is a SCORE!

S'long as we still get Rand, I'm happy!
