7 years ago @cryptomancer-actual, Chad W, did an excellent job rallying community members for the Cryptomancer Challenge during the Global Sprint. I would love to see his talk run for 60 minutes in a classroom space and for him to have some time in a shed-like drop-in space one day or each day to run an adventure dealing with Privacy & Security that was developed during the sprint. This would be an outstanding addition to something like a Mozilla Privacy Arcade sub-space on the floor.

What will happen in your session?
I could do a few things.
I could give a talk that is an overview of how I have been using the tabletop roleplaying hobby as a means for security/privacy education and advocacy, both in the first game I released (Cryptomancer), and a forthcoming game about network resiliency in the face of Internet shutdown, inspired by the Egyptian Arab Spring.
I could also run a few sessions of Cryptomancer for players. I could see myself running a morning session and an afternoon session (about 3 hours each) for about 5 players, different players each time, in a break-out room or something.
I could also permit Mozilla to give every single attendee a free PDF copy of Cryptomancer.
What is the goal or outcome of your session?
1) To demonstrate that security/privacy stuff can be outrageously fun in the right context. 2) To demonstrate that security educators/advocates can get a lot mileage out of playing in the hobby/genre spaces people already occupy. 3) To give folks ideas they can apply to their security interactions in their organizations and communities. 4) To continue to demystify tabletop role-playing games, and show how they are a totally normal, banal, and entertaining way to pass the time, tell stories, and share positive memes. 5) To get outrageous free press. :P
If your session requires additional materials or electronic equipment, please outline your needs.
For a talk, I'd like to borrow someone's laptop to present slides.
For game sessions, I'd need a table that can fit 6 people comfortably in a break-out room that's not super loud (i.e. not in a public hall).
