Glimmer
Glimmer plays music that belongs at a gaming convention and will try to raise the mood (pun intended) in various places, perhaps especially around the role-playing games but also in general areas.
We play an odd mix of Irish, Swedish, Scottish, Spanish, "medieval" and film music in a way that might be suitable for the inn's mingle, the elven picnic or the party at the end of the adventure.
We hope you'll listen to us and if you have a specific idea where music would fit, let us know in advance and we'll come up with something.

Smulgråtarna och Deras 52 Medhjälpare
There are tons of games you'll be introduced to at conventions that you could just as easily play with regular playing cards. In this drop-in activity, you'll learn some of them. Expect familiar favorites, but with a slightly different look.
In addition to the games you may already know, we'll be teaching newly designed card games that use only a standard deck of cards, as well as a few games we think most people have missed. There's everything from team games to free-for-all, cooperative games and solitaires. Come alone or bring a bunch of friends.
If you're really nice, you can even play games that use different decks of cards.
Hopefully, you'll leave us with one or two new favorites to play whenever there's a deck nearby. And most of the time, it does.
The event is part of Materialist Game Lab's offering at GothCon. We want to look at gaming culture with new eyes and try to find ways to make it more fair, welcoming and accessible. All in the hope that together we build a vibrant gaming culture rather than a commercial hobby.
Thom Király is a game designer and game educator based in Malmö. He will act as a cicerone on the journey through misers' attempts to use their 52 friends to avoid stuffing the game shelf full of games that actually work just as well with standard cards.

"My Immortal" - en dramatisk högläsning (INSTÄLLT)
Join us for a dramatic reading of the world's worst (or best?) literature ever written!
"My Immortal" is a fanfiction based on the Wizarding World written in 2006, and is world-famous as the craziest and silliest fanfiction ever written. You will encounter a goth-ified ensemble of characters, a Dumbledore with a headache, Shakespeare-Voldemort, several real-life musicians, and an extremely perfect protagonist with very detailed clothing descriptions. Lots of laughs and audience participation await!
(Will be held in English. Not recommended for people under 15 years of age. Content warnings will be provided.)
