At Wild Wild West Con we join the delightful Madame Askew & the Grand Arbiter as they share strategies for wielding a well-timed compliment in the heart of a duel or during teatime. Smooth your way, make friends, & further the plots of world domination with the perfect compliment.

I like that they even provide tips on how to receive compliments!

Happy International Women’s Day!

Our message for International Women's Day

Meet the lady Gamers Kellie and Jocelyne who want to talk about International Women's Day (IWD) and were celebrating it this year at Tucson Games and Gadgets. On March 8 and I think this is a new tradition for every year! Today on International Women's Day we commemorate the movement for women's rights.

While the first observance of a Women's Day was held on February 28, 1909 in New York, the 1910 International Woman’s Conference suggested March 8 to become an "International Woman's Day."

Please be grateful for all the ladies at the gaming tables and lets all be allies to each other while sharing and respecting each other at the table and outside the hobbies we love!

WWWC 6 Panel: The Tippy Golden school of Etiquette

Posted in cosplay, conventions, Madame Askew on Jul 10th, 2017 Comments

“Never minimize or crush a person.”

“Join me at your leisure.”

Wild Wild West Steampunk Convention 2017 was a pleasure this year!

Wild Wild West Steampunk Convention 6 is America's first and only Steampunk convention and festival that takes place in a western-themed town. After incredibly successful events in 2011, 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016 we're very excited to make this year's convention larger then ever before!

Steampunk is a subgenre of science fiction or science fantasy that incorporates technology and aesthetic designs inspired by 19th-century industrial steam-powered machinery.

Steampunk perhaps most recognizably features anachronistic technologies or retro-futuristic inventions as people in the 19th century might have envisioned them, and is likewise rooted in the era's perspective on fashion, culture, architectural style, and art.[citation needed] Such technology may include fictional machines like those found in the works of H. G. Wells and Jules Verne, or of the modern authors Philip Pullman, Scott Westerfeld, Stephen Hunt, and China Miéville.

Etiquette is a code of behavior that delineates expectations for social behavior according to contemporary conventional norms within a society, social class, or group.

Don’t be a Gatekeeper in life!
