SATURDAY 43<br />

into the long-abandoned ruins of Koor, a former forge city high<br />

in the Zho Mountains. In their effort to find the lost agent, the<br />

Pathfinders may find themselves facing a foe long locked in a<br />

secure vault by the city’s former occupants—guardians whose<br />

departure weakened their defenses, paving the way for a terrible<br />

escape. Lisa Neilson<br />

276 Pathfinder Society: The Penumbral Accords (4hr 30min)<br />

g The daughters of Absalom’s mysterious Blakros family have<br />

long been among the most pursued maidens in the Inner Sea.<br />

277 Pathfinder Society: True Dragons of Absalom (4hr 30min)<br />

Harbor I (3E)<br />

g For several years, the Pathfinder Society has enjoyed a mutually<br />

beneficial alliance with the Sewer Dragons, the dominant tribe of<br />

kobolds living beneath Absalom. When an elite patrol discovers<br />

a wounded member of the Society with a desperate message, the<br />

Sewer Dragons must quickly intercept an extraordinary threat<br />

from seizing their territory—if not Absalom itself! Players portray<br />

kobolds as unlikely defenders of the City at the Center of the<br />

World using 4th-level pregenerated characters. Ray Diaz<br />

278 Mobility Tour of the Art Show Harbor III (3E)<br />

Want to see the Art Show, but can’t see over the crowds from your<br />

chair or mobie? Now’s your time to see the art without anyone<br />

standing in the way. Nicholas “phi” Shectman (m)<br />

279 Beginning Voice [workshop] Paine (2W)<br />

i A workshop aimed at people who have no vocal training. It will<br />

cover some of the basics that singers learn, including breathing,<br />

projection, and diction. No observers. This is a room where it’s OK<br />

to suck. This workshop is limited to 15 students; attendees should<br />

sign up in advance at the Program Nexus. Mark Bernstein (m)<br />

280 The Ridiculous SF Premise Marina 1 (2E)<br />

Scientific progress has a way of defying expectations. Turns out<br />

that many of the things we never thought possible have come to<br />

pass, while that orbital elevator still eludes us. What premises in<br />

SF seem the most ridiculous and difficult to explain, and what<br />

ones make all sorts of intuitive sense until you look beneath the<br />

surface? Mark L Amidon (m), Ken Kingsgrave-Ernstein, B. Diane<br />

Martin, Ian Randal Strock, Stephen R Wilk<br />

281 The Impossible Girl: Clara’s Run as Companion Marina 2 (2E)<br />

Jenna Coleman has now left Doctor Who. In her short time, she’s<br />

been the Doctor’s “Impossible Girl,” been a part of the 50th Anniversary<br />

Special with its Tennant/Smith crossover, and been the<br />

first Companion in seven years to witness a regeneration. How<br />

has her run worked overall, and what would we like to see done<br />

differently with the next Companion? Gordon Linzner (m), John<br />

Chu, Forest Handford, Victoria Queeno, Isabel Schechter<br />

282 Introduction to Asexuality Marina 3 (2E)<br />

We’re all familiar by now with the sexual orientations homosexual,<br />

heterosexual, and bi/pansexual. Much less discussed are<br />

asexuals, people who do not experience sexual attraction (but<br />

who may experience romantic attraction). We’ll discuss what<br />

asexuality is and is not, the umbrella of asexual identities, and<br />

talk about some common challenges asexual people face and<br />

why visibility matters. Dash (m), Elizabeth Birdsall, Fish, Faith<br />

Karklin<br />

283 Haus De Fraction: Milkfed Criminal Masterminds Marina 4 (2E)<br />

With successes like Captain Marvel, Bitch Planet, Hawkeye and<br />

Sex Criminals under their belts, comics has a new power couple<br />

in Kelly Sue DeConnick and Matt Fraction. These gifted writers<br />

are using the comics medium to address issues regarding representation,<br />

diversity and feminism in wildly creative ways. This<br />

panel will explore their amazing talents and enduring popularity<br />
